The Dinosaur Fossil Park offers a unique experience, taking you back 65 million years. It is often referred to as the Jurassic Park of India. During the 1980s and 1990s, nearly 10,000 dinosaur eggs were discovered here, making it the second-largest dinosaur hatchery in the world after France.
Visitors can see fossils in their natural state within the fields, a rare experience that is possible only here in India, as most other fossil parks are not accessible to the general public.
On 8 June 2019, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani inaugurated India’s first Dinosaur Museum and Fossil Park at Raiyoli village near Balasinor, in the Mahisagar district.
The new museum will create a prehistoric-like era environment when dinosaurs might have roamed around freely in Raiyoli.
