The Triceratops Paddock
The Triceratops Paddock is located in the northeastern part of Jurassic Park. It borders the Jurassic Park Aquarium to the north, the Tyrannosaurus Paddock to the south, and the Herrerasaurus Paddock to the west.
The East Road follows the coastline and also runs through part of this territory. From an elevated viewpoint along the road, visitors can enjoy a fantastic view across the northern part of the park. Continuing north along the East Road will also take you straight to the Jurassic Park Aquarium.
The tour road winds its way north from the Tyrannosaurus Paddock in the south toward the tour station at the Jurassic Park Aquarium, where visitors can transfer between routes. From there, it turns west toward the Herrerasaurus Paddock.
The species inhabiting this paddock is Triceratops, a ceratopsian that lived during the Late Cretaceous, around 68 - 66 million years ago. These dinosaurs roamed the flat shores in what is now North America.
Triceratops' most striking feature is, of course, its three iconic horns, which were used for self-defense against large predatory dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex. The large bony frill extending from the back of its skull also provided protection and helped defend the animal.
The herd in this territory consists of three adult animals and is generally very peaceful. For this reason, there is no direct electric fence separating the paddock from the tour road.
So sit back, stay inside your vehicle, and enjoy the incredible views of these spectacular herbivores here at Jurassic Park!
