Where to find them

They come out of a vending machine in the gift shop, and you will spot it as you make your way toward the gates — no hunting required. The shop around it carries the dinosaur figures, fossil kits, plush hatchlings and the grip socks everyone needs before they can get on anything, so most visits end up passing through.

A good end to a play session

Two or three hours on a three-level climbing structure tends to end with a child who is out of energy but not out of enthusiasm. A pack of cards is a manageable size of ask at that point, and it travels home better than a balloon. For older siblings who have aged past the climbing frames, it is a reason to come along at all.

One thing to know first

The machine does not take Dinotopia gift cards. That is the single exception on the whole site — a gift card still covers entry, birthday parties, the Pterodactyl Café and everything else on the gift shop shelves, but not the Pokémon machine. Plan on paying for packs another way.

What gift cards do cover

Common questions

From 26 September 2026. They are stocked in the gift shop alongside the dinosaur toys, fossil kits and plush hatchlings.

In a vending machine inside the gift shop. It sits in view as you head for the gates, so you will pass it without having to go looking for it.

Not for these. The cards are sold through a vending machine and it does not accept gift cards. A Dinotopia gift card still works on entry, birthday parties, the Pterodactyl Café and the rest of the gift shop — the Pokémon machine is the one exception.

Dinosaur figures, fossil kits, plush hatchlings, and the non-slip grip socks that everyone needs before entering the play areas — $3.95 a pair, reusable, and the same pair works on a later visit.
