My Dino Park! is a management and building game where you start with a small park and expand it into a dinosaur empire. You'll buy eggs, hatch them into dinosaurs, build attractions, and keep your visitors happy — all while earning cash to upgrade your park. It's a relaxing tycoon game where your main goal is to become the top dino park on the leaderboard.

Getting Started

When you first join, you'll spawn in your empty park. Take a moment to look around and see the building space available to you. Your starting goal is simple: get your first dinosaur. Follow these steps to begin:

  1. Look for a shop or store menu — this is usually accessed from the main interface at the bottom or side of your screen.
  2. Find and purchase a dino egg. Your first egg will cost game currency you earn from the start, or you may have starter currency gifted to you.
  3. Once you own an egg, place it in your park. You'll see a hatching timer appear.
  4. Wait for the egg to hatch into a dinosaur. This takes time — during this period, check out the rest of the menu and get familiar with your options.

The Core Loop

Once you have your first dinosaur, you'll repeat this loop to grow your park:

  1. Earn money — Dinosaurs in your park attract visitors, and visitors spend money. The more and rarer your dinos, the more visitors arrive.
  2. Buy more eggs — Use your earnings to purchase new dino eggs from the shop.
  3. Hatch and place — Wait for eggs to hatch, then position your new dinosaurs around the park.
  4. Upgrade your park — Build pathways, decorations, and amenities to make your park more attractive and earn more per visitor.
  5. Repeat — Keep expanding and improving until you reach the top rank.
💡 Tip — Different dinosaurs are worth different amounts and attract different numbers of visitors. Rarer dinos usually earn more money, so focus on collecting a variety of species.

How to Buy Dinosaur Eggs

Eggs are the foundation of your park. Here's how the egg system works:

  • Open your shop or egg menu from the main interface.
  • Browse available eggs and their prices. You'll see different dinosaur species at different price points.
  • Click or tap on an egg to purchase it if you have enough currency.
  • The egg will appear in your park (usually in a default zone or the space you select).
  • A hatching timer will begin. Common eggs hatch faster; rarer eggs take longer but give better dinosaurs.
💡 Tip — Save up for rarer eggs when you can. While common eggs hatch quickly, rare dinosaurs attract way more visitors and generate higher income.

Hatching and Placing Dinosaurs

Once an egg hatches, you have a real dinosaur to work with:

  • Hatched dinosaurs will appear in your park and begin attracting visitors automatically.
  • You can move dinosaurs around by clicking and dragging them (or using your platform's equivalent).
  • Position them in visible, central areas of your park for better visitor flow.
  • Each dinosaur has a visitor attraction radius — keep them spread out so visitors see more of your collection.

Attracting More Visitors

Visitors are your main income source. Here's how to draw them in:

  • More dinosaurs — The bigger and more varied your collection, the more visitors arrive.
  • Park improvements — Build pathways, food stands, bathrooms, and viewing areas. Better amenities keep visitors happy and spending.
  • Decorations — Plants, signs, and themed objects make your park feel complete and inviting.
  • Rarity — Having legendary or rare dinosaurs is a huge draw. Players will visit your park to see uncommon dinos.

Upgrading Your Park

As you earn money, spend it strategically on park upgrades:

  • Land expansion — Buy more space to place additional dinosaurs and attractions.
  • Facilities — Install shops, food vendors, and rest areas. These boost visitor happiness and income per visitor.
  • Decorations — Make your park aesthetically pleasing. A pretty park feels premium and attracts more crowds.
  • Special buildings — Some upgrades may unlock new features or increase specific dino values.

Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from other players' missteps:

  • Buying too many cheap eggs too fast — Common dinosaurs earn less money. It's better to save and buy one rare egg than several common ones.
  • Ignoring park upgrades — Don't spend all your money on eggs. Facilities and land expansion multiply your earning potential.
  • Poor placement — Clumping dinosaurs together wastes their attraction range. Spread them throughout your park for maximum impact.
  • Neglecting aesthetics — A messy, empty park feels cheap. Visitors prefer parks that look finished and polished.
  • Not checking the leaderboard — Keep an eye on how you rank compared to other players. It motivates growth and shows what's possible.
💡 Tip — Play at your own pace. My Dino Park! is designed to be relaxing. There's no rush to reach the top — enjoy building your dream dino park.

Early Goals to Aim For

Here's a rough roadmap for your first play session:

  1. Buy and hatch your first dinosaur.
  2. Earn enough to buy a second dino (aim for a different species).
  3. Build a basic pathway connecting your dinosaurs.
  4. Add a food stand or bathroom to increase visitor spending.
  5. Buy a third dinosaur and expand your land if you can afford it.
  6. Check your park from a visitor's perspective — does it look fun and inviting?

Once you hit these milestones, you'll have the fundamentals down and can focus on your strategy for climbing the leaderboard.
