You just pass some dinosaur replicas and follow the way up. Also for children no problem. Above you stand in front of the huge tracks and can study some boards.
The place is outside and does not cost entry.

It is best to walk this route anti-clockwise. In my opinion, the route is more pleasant to walk this way...
