(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- The dinosaur village at the Naseem Gardens is turning out to be a major attraction.
The roaring life-size replicas of the prehistoric giants educate and enthral visitors at the same time.
Dinosaurs appeal to everyone and this year we have tried to give something more, said an official from the Gulf Asia Development, the company that is managing the show at the Muscat Festival venue this year.
'Dinosaurs amuse everyone, be it adults or children. There are many dinosaurs big and small here. Visitors besides looking at the life-size replica can also feel and hear the noises that real ones would make.
'The response has been quite good so far,' Rose Mogadadi, general manager, Gulf Asia Development said.
The park showcases the evolution of dinosaurs that lived in Zigong, China in the Jurassic period. Zigong city in China's Sichuan also houses a museum that claims to have the largest number of dinosaur fossils in the world. Several dinosaur fossils were excavated around this place.
The height of the largest one at the Naseem Gardens is 18m. Made of steel frame, foam and rubber, the dinosaur replicas stand tall among trees illuminated with Chinese lanterns.
'I felt like I was in a different world. The place is so different and calm with small lakes, trees, lights and of course the roars of the dinosaurs,' said Saada al Touqi, an Omani visitor at the park.
According to Judi Mogdadi, investor and partner, Gulf Asia Development, apart from interactive activities revolving around the lives of dinosaurs the place also has a Chinese food corner.
'We have interactive activities for visitors especially for children. There is also a Chinese food outlet that is quite affordable. Everything just costs RO1. We are not after money but to give our visitors a sense of affordable peace and happiness. We want all visitors to enjoy, be it rich or poor,' Judi said.
Another visitor too said the food stall at the village is worth a visit. 'I feel good to sit here and enjoy my meal. The place is affordable and beautiful. It just costs RO1 for any meal served here,' Said al Abri, another visitor while enjoying his meal at the festival said.
