Bhubaneswar: A mini Jurassic park with realistic dinosaur structures and a light and sound show is set to be opened in Bhubaneswar by the end of this month.
With a jungle theme, the park named ‘Dinosaur Alive’ will be opened by the Regional Science Centre (RCS), Bhubaneswar, in the capital city, sources said.
Billed to be the first-of-its-kind in Odisha, the park will showcase life-sized models of various dinosaur species, along with other wildlife creatures brought to life with special effects that aim to recreate the prehistoric era.
The objective is to provide an engaging and educational experience. Visitors will feel like they are walking through a real jungle filled with dinosaurs.
“A unique feature of the park is a prehistoric story narration, which will be given to the visitors as they explore the area,” Kapil Jain, who heads RCS, Bhubaneswar, was quoted by TOI as saying.
“We have used motion frequency, advanced graphics and accurately scaled dinosaur structures to make the experience as lively as possible. Almost all the work is complete and we are excited to welcome visitors soon,” Jain said.
Apart from the dinosaur exhibits, the park will feature an engaging light and sound show which will add a dramatic feel to the entire experience. The park will open after 10 am and will remain open during evening hours, allowing visitors to enjoy the dynamic lighting effects that enhance the park’s ambience.
Stating that special care has been taken to ensure the structures are scientifically accurate and engaging for both children and adults, Jain said the aim is to spark curiosity about these fascinating creatures that once roamed the Earth.
