The Dinos & Caves combined ticket brings together the two attractions on the Porto Cristo site: the Cuevas dels Hams and the Dinosaurland dinosaur park. One ticket, one day and, above all, one single journey.
This guide covers exactly what it includes, what it costs compared with buying the two tickets separately, how the two times printed on the ticket work, which order to do the visits in and when you are better off not buying it.
What Dinos & Caves is
Dinos & Caves is the combined ticket that gives you same-day access to the Cuevas dels Hams and to Dinosaurland, the two facilities on the site at kilometre 11 of the Ma-4020 road between Manacor and Porto Cristo. Booked online it costs €26 from age 13 upwards and €20 for ages 3 to 12, against the €37 and €25 the two separate tickets add up to. The full experience takes around three hours, including the walk from one facility to the other and a stop for lunch or a drink. Under-3s go free.
The two attractions are right next to each other
This is the fact that changes the whole plan, and the one hardly anyone is clear about before arriving: the Cuevas dels Hams and Dinosaurland are not in two different parts of the island. They share the same site, the same entrance and are a two-minute walk from each other.
You park once, in the free car park at the entrance itself, and you don’t touch the car again until the day is over. No transfer, no second hunt for a space, none of the quarter of an hour it takes to reorganise everybody every time you change location when travelling with children.
There is old promotional material floating around that mentioned a cave “twenty minutes away”. That is wrong, and it is worth saying plainly: they are next door to each other.
That is exactly why the combined ticket works so well. It isn’t a package bundling two distant things to sell them cheaper. It is one single outing with two very different halves, one underground and one in the open air, with no dead time in between.
What it costs and how much you save
2026 prices, VAT included:
| Ticket | At the door | Online |
| Combined, age 13 and over | €27 | €26 |
| Combined, ages 3 to 12 | €21 | €20 |
| Ages 0 to 2 | Free | Free |
Booking through the website saves €1 per ticket compared with the ticket office, and it is the only discount available to the general public.
Against buying the two tickets separately, the sums work out like this: two individual adult tickets booked online come to €37, and the combined ticket is €26. That is €11 saved per adult and €5 per child. A family of two adults and two children pays €92 for the combined ticket instead of €124.
Under-3s don’t pay, with a limit of two free child tickets per accompanying adult over 18. And Balearic residents get €2 off per ticket on presentation of their ID, though only at the ticket office: the adult combined ticket comes down to €25 and the child one to €19.
The combined ticket is booked at tickets.dinosaurland.es, choosing your date and your cave slot. All the information about the experience is on the Dinos & Caves page.
What you see in each one
The two visits have very little in common, and that is the whole point of putting them together.
The Cuevas dels Hams
A walking route of around 500 metres through three caves, with a guide who goes with the group and sets the pace. Entry is by timed slot and it lasts exactly one hour.
It starts in the Cueva Redonda, which millions of years ago was a closed cavity and today is open to the sky, turned into a garden with native birds flying free. Then comes the Cueva Azul, with the Columns of Samson, the Plains of Fra Mauro and the Pit of Hell, the documentary “Discovering the Past” about the first inhabitants of Mallorca, and the GENESIS audiovisual projected onto the rock itself.
The Cueva Clásica closes the route with twelve galleries, the Hall of the Owls and the underground lake known as the Sea of Venice, where the musical show takes place with the water completely still. And in the chamber called the Angel’s Dream are the formations that give the cave its name: the hooks, as fine as a thread, which start growing downwards and at a certain point curve and grow back up. If the geology side interests you, we tell the whole story in how stalactites and stalagmites are formed.
Inside it is a constant 20 °C all year round, and the route has 217 steps up and 148 down, with resting points along the way.
Dinosaurland
An open-air route through the pines with more than 100 life-size dinosaur replicas of some 40 species. Many are animatronic: they move and roar as visitors approach, triggered by sensors. The centrepiece is a twenty-metre Titanosaurus.
The circuit is self-guided and open: no timetable, no guide, everyone stops where they like and can go back for another look. It includes the Explorer Zone, a recreated palaeontology camp where children dig for fossils, and the Ranger’s live show, which runs several times a day in Spanish and in English.
One warning parents of very small children appreciate: during the show the raptor moves among the audience and even climbs the steps of the stand. Most children are fascinated by it, but at two or three years old it goes down better from the back rows.
The two times on your ticket, explained before they become a problem
There are two times on the combined ticket, and each one means something different. This is where most people get confused and where most of the disappointment comes from, so it is worth being clear before you arrive.
The Dinosaurland time is the park’s opening time. It works as a reference, not an appointment: you can go in at any point during the day’s opening hours.
The Cuevas dels Hams time is your slot. That one is a firm appointment and it has to be kept, because groups go in together. If you don’t make it in time, you lose that part of the visit.
There are reviews from visitors who did the park first, lost track of time and found out about the mistake when nothing could be done. It costs nothing to avoid it.
How to plan the day
There is no compulsory order, but one works better than the other:
- Arrive a few minutes before your cave slot. It is the only fixed time of the day, so everything else is built around it.
- Do the caves first. One hour, with the group, with no decisions to make. And in August, starting with the 20 °C down there is very welcome.
- Eat or have a drink when you come out. Dinoburger is at the park’s entrance and exit, with smash burgers, salads and a children’s menu that comes with a gift. There is also a café inside the park.
- Finish with Dinosaurland. Since it is free-flow with no timetable, it is the part that best survives children setting the pace, stopping wherever they like or going back to see the T-Rex one more time.
Two practical things before you leave home. Pushchairs cannot be taken into the caves: there is an area next to the ticket office to leave them. And although you can bring your own food into the park, there is no designated eating area inside the grounds; the picnic tables are outside.
If you are travelling with small children, the guide to visiting the caves as a family goes into the detail on ages, pushchairs and what to expect from each section.
When the combined ticket is the best option
On a rainy day, above all. The Dinosaurland route is outdoors, but the caves are indoors and down there the weather makes no difference: the temperature doesn’t change all year. In Mallorca, in shoulder season, having half your plan under cover is worth a lot. Even so, if heavy rain is forecast and you can choose your date, everything is more enjoyable in good weather.
It also works well when the group is a mixed bag. The two visits are pitched very differently, and it is rare for a whole family to agree on which one they liked more. With grandparents, teenagers and small children in the same car, that variety is exactly what you are after.
And it fits neatly into a trip along the east coast. If you are putting the whole route together, Mallorca in three daysshows you where to slot in the Porto Cristo area without leaving half the island undone.
How to get there
The site is at kilometre 11 of the Ma-4020 road from Manacor to Porto Cristo. From Palma it is around 60 kilometres and about an hour, leaving on the Ma-15 towards Manacor. The centre of Porto Cristo is five minutes away, Manacor ten, and Cala Millor, Sa Coma and s’Illot a quarter of an hour.
You can also get here without a car. The TIB 401 line, Palma to Cala Millor, has a “Dinosaurland-Coves Hams” stop on the site itself. It leaves from the Plaza de España station and takes around an hour and a half. If you plan to go back by taxi, arrange it in advance: in high season there are few in the area.
Parking is free and right at the entrance. In July and August it fills up by mid-morning, so an early slot is a good idea.
Frequently asked questions about Dinos & Caves
What does the Dinos & Caves ticket include?
The full visit to the Cuevas dels Hams, with your timed slot and the guide who accompanies the group, and entry to Dinosaurland with the dinosaur route, the Explorer Zone and the Ranger’s show. Both on the same day.
How much does the combined ticket cost?
In 2026, €27 from age 13 upwards and €21 for ages 3 to 12 at the ticket office. Booking online takes €1 off per ticket, so it comes to €26 and €20. Under-3s go free, up to two per accompanying adult over 18.
Is it worth it compared with buying the two tickets separately?
On price, yes: two individual adult tickets booked online come to €37 and the combined ticket costs €26, eleven euros less. On the child ticket the saving is five euros. And since the two facilities are next door to each other, using it costs you no extra time at all.
How much time should I set aside?
Around three hours for the full experience, counting both visits, the walk from one facility to the other and an unhurried stop for lunch or a drink.
How long does it take to get from one attraction to the other?
A two-minute walk. They are on the same site, so there is no need to get back in the car.
Can it be split over two days?
No. The combined ticket is designed for a single day and cannot be divided. To go on different dates you need an individual ticket for each facility.
I already have an individual ticket — can I upgrade it to the combined one?
Yes, although it isn’t upgraded on the ticket you already hold. You buy the combined ticket online, email both tickets — the new one and the unused individual one — and the refund for the original is processed. This only applies to purchases made on the official website.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
Dinosaurland is, with an adapted path and resting points. The caves are not, because of the 217 steps up and 148 down. If someone in the group has reduced mobility, we recommend the individual Dinosaurland ticket rather than the combined one.
Does it work on a rainy day?
Better than almost any other plan. The cave half is indoors and unaffected, and inside it is 20 °C all year. The park can also be visited in the rain, although it is more enjoyable in good weather.
Are there rates for schools or groups?
Yes. Schools have their own rate — €16 per pupil for the combined ticket — and accompanying teachers go free. It is arranged by email at grupos@dinosaurland.es, stating the date and the number of pupils and teachers. Online purchases are capped at 10 tickets per transaction.
A day you remember for the contrast
What makes this plan special isn’t what either half offers on its own. It is going, within a matter of minutes, from a silent chamber twenty metres underground, with a lake that doesn’t move, to a pine wood where something the size of a bus turns its head as you walk up.
Two timescales with nothing in common, right next to each other, and children pick up on it even if they can’t put it into words.
