Summer Parent-Child Outing | A Cool Retreat for Walking with Kids! Tips and recommendations for visiting the Xixia Dinosaur Park for the fifth time!

The Xixia Dinosaur Relics Park in China is known as the 'ninth wonder of the world' because of the number and variety of dinosaur egg fossils unearthed there, which are considered the most in the world. As a dinosaur-themed amusement park that combines education and entertainment, it is a great place to go for a summer cool-off and to walk with kids during holidays. I have brought my child here five times since their birth, and here are some tips and experiences for your reference. ① About the cost: The ticket is 75, and the annual pass allows free admission. It is recommended for locals to get an annual pass, which costs 80 yuan for unlimited access to 27 attractions throughout the year, which is quite cost-effective. The internal sightseeing car costs 20 yuan per person, and there are other entertainment facilities inside, such as magic carpets and glass slides, which require additional fees. ② About the sightseeing car: The sightseeing car allows you to get on and off at any time, but actually, the distances between the three museums in the park are not far. It's also nice to walk and play with children without elderly people. The Xixia Dinosaur Museum is a bit further away, while the Dinosaur Egg Fossil Museum and the Dinosaur Egg Site can be reached in less than ten minutes. If you take the sightseeing car, go directly to the farthest dinosaur museum and then visit the other attractions from back to front. ③ About the entertainment facilities: Personally, I feel that the entertainment facilities in the park are mainly incidental, such as magic carpets, rainbow slides, glass slides, etc., which are also available in other scenic areas and are longer and more thrilling than here. The main reason to come here is to visit the dinosaur relics, and whether to use the amusement facilities depends on your personal situation. ④ Main attractions: The Argentinosaurus fossil in the Dinosaur Museum, known as the largest dinosaur fossil; the dinosaur egg fossil exhibition and the bionic tropical jungle in the Dinosaur Egg Fossil Museum; the skylight at the end of the tunnel in the Dinosaur Egg Site; various dinosaur models in the simulation dinosaur park at the entrance and exit. ⑤ Food, accommodation, and other: There are no restaurants inside, only snack shops outside. For accommodation, it's only a twenty-minute drive from Xixia County, so you can stay in the county. There is a large parking lot at the entrance, which can get quite crowded during holidays, and you might have to park in a temporary parking lot a little further away.
