Yokohama Sky Building is hosting "Sky Building Dinosaur Park" from Friday, July 17 through Sunday, August 23, 2026.
The event features an impressive lineup of dinosaur robots that move as if they were alive, a photo spot where visitors can poke their heads out of a Tyrannosaurus's mouth, a real fossil dig experience, and more. One of the hands-on activities, "Make Your Own Original Dinosaur Trading Card," turns a dinosaur drawn by the visitor into a trading card, which can then be traded with friends and family.
The event is also a checkpoint for "Minato Mirai Dinosaur Rally," a stamp rally taking place across Yokohama's Minato Mirai area during the same period, making it easy to enjoy a full summer of dinosaur experiences.
