Inside

A fascinating journey back to the giants of prehistory

In the Biosphere Potsdam, the tropical nature experience world transforms into a portal to Earth's history. During the Dino-VR experience, visitors travel with a VR headset to a long-gone era, encountering prehistoric giants up close. This immersive art experience combines digital staging, scientific communication, and aesthetic experience into an adventure for the whole family.

When the jungle becomes a time window

The virtual experience world takes you right into a prehistoric landscape. Sounds, movement, spatial depth, and the effects of VR technology create a world where the Earth seems to tremble beneath the steps of enormous reptiles. The exhibition atmosphere thrives on the contrast between the real tropical greenhouse and the digitally reconstructed prehistoric world.

Encounters with T-Rex and Triceratops

During the approximately eight-minute time journey, guests encounter a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Mosasaurus, Argentinosaurus, and Iguanodon. The digital installation makes size ratios, movements, and habitats immediately perceptible. Especially for children and dinosaur fans, a vivid form of cultural education emerges that connects natural historical curiosity with modern media technology.

Between exhibition, experience, and communication

The Dino-VR experience was created in cooperation with TimeRide and is designed as a standalone offering. It can be booked separately or as a combo ticket with admission to the Biosphere Potsdam. Additionally, the Dino-Rally invites participants to search for prehistoric traces in the tropical jungle and discover interesting facts about feathered predators and gentle giants at various stations.

For families and curious explorers

The experience is recommended for ages six and up. The combination of virtual reality, natural science storytelling, and spatial staging provides easy access to Earth history and paleontology. The work’s observation replaces traditional painting or sculpture: at the center is a digital installation made from light, sound, movement, and interaction.

Conclusion: Experience prehistory up close in Potsdam

The Dino-VR experience offers an intense art experience between science, media art, and family outings. For those who want to experience dinosaurs not just from books but with all their senses, the Biosphere Potsdam presents an impressive aesthetic experience. A visit is particularly worthwhile as a combination of virtual time travel, tropical nature experience, and cultural education.
