Many people lined up for nearly half an hour to get into the cafe with nearly 20 large dinosaur models in District 1.
Only open for about a week, the cafe decorated with dinosaur models on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street is always crowded with tourists from morning to night.
The manager said the restaurant has an area of 1,500 square meters, decorated with 20 dinosaur models of various species and arranged with many types of trees, making visitors feel like they are lost in a prehistoric world hundreds of millions of years ago.
On the morning of January 1, the line of people waiting to buy tickets to enter the restaurant stretched nearly 100 meters, all the way out to Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. The staff placed many large umbrellas in front of the yard to shade customers while they waited in line.
"The hot weather is a bit uncomfortable, but everyone lined up in an orderly manner," said Quynh Chi, a resident of District 7, while fanning her son. The 43-year-old woman said she learned about the restaurant from videos on social media and that it was located in the city center, so she wanted to take her son to see dinosaurs.
On average, it takes each customer about half an hour to queue up to get to the ticket counter. Tickets for children are 100,000 VND, half the price for adults, and do not include drinks.
Most of the dinosaur models in the museum can move and make realistic sounds. The largest is the Tyrannosaurus rex predatory dinosaur, 9 m high, 13 m long, almost life-sized.
The model is placed on a platform about 1.5 m high, with steps for visitors to visit directly. At some busy times, people have to wait in line to see this dinosaur.
The models are quite realistic in appearance and size with steel frames, the bodies are 3D printed, and there are many species, from carnivores to leaf-eaters.
The dinosaur models are always crowded, mostly families bringing children to visit.
Chi Thien, 9 years old, enjoyed touching the dinosaur's head. Some children were initially quite scared but later became excited about this giant animal that once existed on earth.
"My child likes every model, helping him gain more real-life experience instead of just learning about dinosaurs through books. I will come back another time when it's less crowded so I can visit comfortably," said Ms. Hai Ngoc, District 10.
The tables are full of tourists eating and watching cartoons about dinosaurs. The restaurant also has other children's play areas such as statue painting, sand painting, mountain climbing, and electric animal riding. Drinks cost from 25,000 to 65,000 VND.
In the near future, the restaurant plans to add other unique spaces such as installing more models and implementing dinosaur riding services for children.
The shop is open from 9am to 10pm daily, with a large parking lot. However, during the holidays, there are many visitors, so the parking lot is often overloaded and vehicles have to be parked outside.
