A 4.5‑hectare dinosaur-themed park is being built in Rajgir’s Nature Safari at an estimated cost of ₹22 crore.
The Bihar tourism department has approved a new dinosaur-themed attraction in Rajgir, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its ancient ruins. The project, slated to cover 4.5 hectares within the existing Nature Safari complex, is budgeted at roughly ₹22 crore.
Construction is expected to begin shortly, with plans to install life‑size models, interactive exhibits and educational displays that showcase prehistoric life. Officials say the park aims to boost regional tourism and provide a family‑friendly learning environment.
Once completed, the dinosaur park will join other flagship projects in the state, positioning Rajgir as a year‑round destination for both domestic and international visitors.
The development reflects a broader push by the state to diversify its tourism offerings beyond religious and historical sites, tapping into the growing interest in science‑based attractions.
Local businesses anticipate increased footfall, while schools are looking forward to field trips that combine recreation with curriculum‑aligned learning about paleontology.
