If Clark has Dinosaur Island and Nueva Ecija has George Point, then Isabela is not to be left behind! The province now proudly offers its own prehistoric adventure: Dino Discovery Park.
Now Officially Open to the Public!
Dino Discovery Park is located in Napaccu Grande, Reina Mercedes, Isabela, Philippines. It’s the first-ever dinosaur-themed park in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) and is conveniently close to another popular attraction in Isabela—Meraki Garden.

We were lucky to visit the park during its soft opening. Inside, we saw giant animatronic insects that move and make realistic sounds, giving visitors a jungle-like experience. We also encountered life-sized dinosaurs that moved and roared—so realistic, it felt like stepping back in time!
Each dinosaur is built to scale based on actual species sizes, making for an exciting photo opportunity. We met visitors from nearby towns like Cordon (65 km away) and Ilagan City (around 75 km)—many are willing to travel over an hour just to see this viral destination.
