Batu, Indonesia, en.SERU.co.id – Tired of the same old family vacation spots? Jawa Timur Park 3 in East Java is shaking things up with Dino Park, a fresh edutainment experience that blends fun and learning in a truly immersive way.
The star attraction is the Kereta 5 Zaman (Five Eras Train), a large-scale ride designed to take visitors on a journey through millions of years of Earth’s history. According to Endang Shobirin, Coordinator Manager at Jawa Timur Park 3, the train can comfortably carry up to 48 passengers — perfect for families with kids of all ages.
As the train glides along, passengers are transported through five dramatic prehistoric eras via massive, highly realistic dioramas:
- Permian Period: The exotic landscape of the late Paleozoic era, just before a major mass extinction.
- Triassic Period: The dawn of the dinosaurs and early mammals.
- Jurassic Period: The golden age when giant reptiles ruled the land.
- Cretaceous Period: The peak of dinosaur dominance, followed by their dramatic extinction.
- Ice Age: A magical frozen world dominated by iconic woolly mammals like the mammoth.
Each zone features lifelike dinosaur animatronics, authentic habitat recreations, and engaging educational narration that keeps the experience fun and informative.
Before boarding the train, visitors are encouraged to explore the modern Dino Museum. The museum houses an impressive collection of educational fossils and replicas, highlighted by a towering 12-meter-tall Brachiosaurus — the largest herbivorous dinosaur from the Jurassic period. It’s not only awe-inspiring but also makes for fantastic Instagram-worthy photos.
