The open, grassy valley the ranch calls Jurassic Valley, behind the Kualoa ridge. The Movie Sites tour and the Jurassic Adventure tour both come here, but they stop at different places.

Good to know
For the log only, the $59.95 Movie Sites tour is enough. For the Gyrosphere station and the bunker, book the Jurassic Adventure tour.

Filmed here

  • Jurassic Park (1993)

    The Gallimimus flock streams across the field, and Grant, Lex and Tim hide behind a fallen log as the T. rex catches one. Both tours stop at the log, which is a replacement.

  • Jurassic World (2015)

    The Gyrosphere station where the boys queue, and the valley they roll out across. The station set still stands on the Jurassic Adventure tour.

  • Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

    The hillside bunker where Claire and Franklin are trapped as lava pours in. It's on the Jurassic Adventure tour.

  • Godzilla (1998)

    Not a Jurassic film, but the giant footprints dug for it are on the Movie Sites tour. Some have been partly filled in.
