While in Mallorca, here are other experiences we've covered
A Closer Look at the Caves of Hams
The Caves of Hams are a highlight not just for their natural beauty but for their accessibility and educational value. The tour begins at the Round Cave, where you’ll find a lush botanical garden with native Mallorcan bird species. This part of the visit sets a peaceful, scenic tone before heading underground. We appreciated how the guided information in this section emphasizes the area’s flora and fauna, giving it more than just a touristy feel.
Next, the Blue Cave offers more than just a pretty name. Here, you can expect to see the unique hook-shaped formations—locally called “hams”—that give the cave its name. The shimmering lake inside is worth a moment of awe, and the audiovisual presentation “Discovering the Past” provides context about Mallorca’s early inhabitants and the discovery of the caves. The genesis projection, which showcases the journey from the Big Bang to today, adds a fascinating, educational layer to the visit.
The Classic Cave rounds out the experience with 12 galleries of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, some of which glow under carefully placed lighting. The highlight here is the musical show performed on the underground “Sea of Venice” lake—a rare opportunity to combine geology with art, and one that reviews often praise as both impressive and atmospheric.
Travelers have noted that the caves are breathtaking, with Sonia describing it as “brilliantly thought out and very informative.” However, it’s worth noting that the caves are primarily a tourist attraction featuring movies and light displays, rather than a raw nature experience. Still, the well-coordinated guided elements make it a worthwhile stop, especially if you’re interested in geology or history.
Dinosaurland: A Prehistoric Playground
Just a few meters from the caves, the Dinosaurland theme park extends the adventure into the world of dinosaurs. Here, more than 100 life-size models from 40 different species create an awe-inspiring landscape. The largest, a Titanosaurus, measures an eye-watering 50 meters long—imagine seeing that beast looming over you!
What sets Dinosaurland apart is its combination of interactive displays, live shows, and fossil excavation activities. Kids and adults alike can participate in excavating real dinosaur fossils in the “Explorer Zone,” a feature that reviews highlight as both fun and educational. The park also offers live raptor shows, which often get high praise for their excitement and realism.
Many visitors, including Louise, have expressed surprise at how impressive the dinosaurs are, especially those that move and make sounds. The park’s design is very family-oriented; children love the larger-than-life models, and younger kids especially enjoy the hands-on activities and puzzles that test their prehistoric knowledge.
While some reviews suggest that the park is better suited for children under ten, it remains a delightful experience for anyone interested in dinosaurs or looking for a lively, engaging outdoor activity. Food options are available at a park café, and visitors are welcome to bring snacks, though there are no designated eating areas within the park itself.
The Practicalities: Planning Your Visit
Your combo ticket provides a flexible two-hour window, but to enjoy both attractions comfortably, arriving early in the afternoon (around 2:45 p.m.) is advisable. The caves typically take about an hour, and then you can spend roughly an hour at Dinosaurland, making this a perfect half-day activity.
Getting there is straightforward, with free parking available nearby, which is a real bonus on busy days. The tour involves walking at a leisurely pace, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Expect to spend about two hours exploring—plenty of time to enjoy without feeling rushed.
Note: Flash photography is prohibited inside the caves, and touching the formations or dinosaurs is not allowed, both for preservation reasons and safety. Also, bad weather doesn’t qualify for a refund, so keep an eye on the forecast.
The experience is conducted in either Spanish or English, with friendly staff and guides who seem genuinely interested in sharing Mallorca’s natural and prehistoric stories.

Sonia’s review captures the essence perfectly: “We loved both, the caves and Dinosaurland. The children really enjoyed it. Our 9-year-old was fascinated with the caves, which was brilliantly thought out and very informative. Our 2-year-old loved the dinosaurs and there were lots of little activities around the park for them to do. We all had a really great day! Can definitely recommend.”
Vygantas highlights a practical aspect: “Fantastic experience at the caves, just dino park would recommend only for under 10-year-old kids.” This suggests that while the caves appeal broadly, the dinosaur park especially delights younger children.
Eve sums up the experience: “The caves are a must-see!!! Easily one of the highlights of my trip to Mallorca. Breathtaking indeed. The dino park was also quite fun.” These genuine reactions underscore the value of this combination for creating memorable family moments.
The Sum Up: Who Will Love This Experience?
This Mallorca combo ticket offers a well-rounded day of discovery, balancing natural beauty with dinosaur thrills. It’s especially suited for families with young children who want an educational yet playful outing. The value for money is clear, considering the diversity of attractions and the quality of the exhibits.
If you’re a geology enthusiast, the caves’ formations and historical displays provide a meaningful glimpse into Mallorca’s underground secrets. For dinosaur fans and kids (or the kid-at-heart), Dinosaurland delivers giant models, live shows, and hands-on fossils that will keep everyone entertained.
