Hakusan Dinosaur Park Shiramine

Step through the gate and you’re met by an impressive T. rex object.
Inside the round, egg-shaped “Dinosaur Museum,” you’ll find displays including a Diplodocus skeleton measuring over 20 meters long and dinosaur-era dioramas, along with fossils of dinosaurs and plants discovered in Hakusan City, where the park is located.

One of the most popular activities is the fossil-hunting experience, which requires no reservation and is easy for visitors of all ages to join. Pick up rentals like a hammer, goggles, and work gloves, then crack open rocks like a paleontologist—you may just uncover a treasure. In the past, a participant even found a fossilized tooth of Oarashiryu from Approx. 130 million years ago, so you might just make a world-class discovery!　

Outdoors, you’ll find kid-friendly playground equipment as well as the large “Dyna Slider,” a big slide that lets you zip down a rail of Approx. 40 meters in one go. There’s also a spacious grassy lawn area, perfect for a picnic.
