Between 2nd of April till 16th of May you can visit an exhibition of more than 50 life-size Dinosaur models in Arboretum Volčji Potok, in the pleasant environment of English park.

Diplodocus is the longest, who with his long neck measured in length up to 23 meters. Pterodactyl reigns in the air, Triceratops protecting their young, Goniofolis ancestor of the crocodile, when moving pulling his belly with the ground. You can look into the Dinosaur nest and fossils site.

Want to know what plants Dinosaurs ate? The parc is growing quite a few such trees.

Dinosaurs will also be exhibited during the traditional Exhibition of Tulips and Horticultural Fair.

The Dinosaurs Song


Diplodocus is both the type genus of, and gives its name to Diplodocidae, the family to which it belongs. Members of this family, while still massive, are of a markedly more slender build when compared with other sauropods, such as the titanosaurs and brachiosaurs. All are characterised by long necks and tails and a horizontal posture, with forelimbs shorter than hindlimbs. Diplodocids flourished in the Late Jurassic of North America and possibly Africa and appear to have been replaced ecologically by titanosaurs during the Cretaceous.

Triceratops is a genus  of herbivorous ceratopsid  dinosaur  which lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous  Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago (Mya) in what is now North America.

Pterosaurs (pronounced from the Greek pterosauros, meaning "winged lizard", often referred to as pterodactyls, from the Greek pterodaktulos, meaning "winged finger") were flying reptiles  of the clade  or order Pterosauria. They existed from the late Triassic  to the end of the Cretaceous Period (220 to 65.5 million years ago).
