Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Dino Park is an 18-hole miniature golf course located on the road between Karon and Kata. Set within a jungle garden, it's filled with life-size dinosaurs, animatronic figures that move and roar, waterfalls, and a volcano that smokes and erupts. It has been a Karon institution for years, and the design is far more impressive than its exterior suggests. Playing a round in the evening, when the course lights come on, is particularly lovely.

It's suitable for a wide age range. Families with four-year-olds and parents with teenagers are equally delighted, and a round takes about an hour. It's more expensive than mini-golf at home, around 700–800 baht for an adult round, with a discounted rate for children aged 3 to 12. There's also a cheaper pass-through ticket for those who just want to see the dinosaurs. Near the entrance are the Dino Kitchen and the Dino Bar, where you can grab a bite to eat and a drink afterward.
