1. Prepare a preliminary budget

A small dinosaur-themed playground of 500-800 square meters generally doesn’t require a large investment; $80,000 to $150,000 is usually enough to cover the entire area. The budget includes not only venue rental but also advertising costs and the exhibits-purchase.

What budget items should be prepared?

• Find a suitable location, with an area of ​​500-800 square meters, and rent it for 1-2 months or even longer.
• The cost of setting up facilities on the site should be calculated in advance and kept within a reasonable range.
• Find suitable exhibits-manufacturers (animatronic dinosaurs, dinosaur sculptures, dinosaur decorations, etc.) and find out their prices, while keeping them within a reasonable range.
• Budget your social media campaigns, such as on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, while keeping spending on campaigns limited to local areas and nearby residential neighborhoods.
• Prepare a budget for manpower input in the early stages of the playground’s construction.

Note: If you already own a piece of land that is vacant, please ignore the second suggestion above.

2. Find the right location or venue

A suitable and reasonable location is crucial for a dinosaur playground or amusement park to attract visitors and generate profits. The rented space must be reasonably priced and not be located in a remote area.

Venue selection strategy for the dinosaur playground:

• The rental cost for this location should not be too high, ideally controlled at around 10-20% of your total investment.
• The location is easily accessible, though it’s a bit far from the city center or densely populated areas, but is definitely reachable by car or bus.
• There is ample parking space outside the location.
• The venue must be allowed to do some simple decorations to fit the dinosaur theme.

Note: If you have sufficient funds to choose a location, go directly to areas with the highest foot traffic and the most convenient transportation. Large, spacious interiors of shopping malls with high foot traffic are also suitable.

3. Plan the layout of the dinosaur playground

After finding a suitable venue, it is necessary to implement a layout plan based on the actual site in advance. Plan dinosaur exhibits, infrastructure, decoration, retail stores, interactive area, and tourist route. This step is crucial as it relates to the positive impression that tourists will have of the dinosaur playground in the future.

How to plan?

• Distribute dinosaur exhibits within an area of 500-800 square meters. And follow the interval of about 10-15 meters between each dinosaur. Provide tourists with ample space to observe each dinosaur.
• The best route for tourists to travel is winding and twisting. This can effectively utilize the limited space and arrange a dinosaur in every corner of the route, allowing visitors to see “live dinosaurs” every distance they travel.
• Artificial vegetation should be arranged around each dinosaur to create a prehistoric atmosphere. And it is best to lay a layer of artificial turf in the entire area (excluding the route).
• Lay out retail or souvenir shops at the exit of the dinosaur playground to gain more profits through retail.
• Place interactive areas (such as dinosaur rides or dinosaur cars) at the entrance or center of the playground to enhance the sense of interaction among visitors.

4. Search best dinosaur exhibits maker to cooperate

6. Make decorations in advance

When the main dinosaur exhibits are still on the sea, please arrange decorations in the dinosaur playground in advance, such as artificial plants, artificial flowers, artificial turf, etc.! Transform the entire playground into the appearance of a primeval forest, and once the “living dinosaurs” arrive in the primeval forest, the Jurassic era will be back.

What are the key points of decoration?

• Distribute 30-50 artificial palm trees throughout the area, of course leaving space for the positions occupied by the dinosaurs.
• It is best to lay the artificial turf in whole pieces over an area of 500-800 square meters, but leave space for visitor pathways.
• Artificial ferns or weeds are spread all over the ground under the dinosaur’s feet.
• With more abundant funds, you can also set up some excavation sites, volcanoes, and ancient geological rock layers as decorations.

7. Make promotion plan on social media in advance

In 2026, no matter what entertainment-related venues you operate, you can attract foot traffic through social media promotion. Almost everyone in business is bound to adopt this mode. For Dinosaur playground to seize business opportunities and customer flow, it still needs to strategize how to produce promotional videos and allocate funds for social media campaigns.

• TIKTOK: there is no doubt that this is the best publicity platform.

1. You can set up an account for your small dinosaur exhibition or show, and invest some funds appropriately for promotion and publicity in your local area or surrounding cities.
2. You can also enlist the help of local influencers (even if their fan base is around 3,000 or so. Of course, the more fans the better. It depends on your budget.) to promote your exhibition.

• YOUTUBE: The most widely used long video platform. Pay attention to local publicity and promotion.
• FACEBOOK: This platform places greater emphasis on recommendations related to life and travel! Similarly, you can adopt the same promotional approach as TIKTOK, but it would be better to meticulously prepare the promotional materials in the form of pictures and texts.
• LOCAL MEDIA & FORUMS: Collaboration with the media is a traditional mode. Its advantage is that convey information relatively well to the olders, such as parents of children or grandparents. This way, it could also potentially increase the probability that bringing the children to visit the exhibition.
• X: The promotion strategy can also be similar to FACEBOOK. Both pictures and videos are key contents.
