Guests of all ages can pick up a pair of binoculars and a special dinosaur ranger booklet to guide their exploration at the Dinosaur Park. The trail has been carefully crafted by talented woodworkers with learning disabilities, offering a meaningful and inclusive experience for all.
"Furzey Gardens has always been a place of magic and discovery," said Director Jay Powell. "With Jurassic Furzey, we're opening a new chapter—blending the wonder of the prehistoric world with our mission to support inclusive community projects."
Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, Furzey Gardens is a hidden gem, rich with rare plants, fairy doors, and winding paths. Visitors can enjoy homemade treats in the thatched tea rooms, and discover over 40 hidden fairy doors dotted throughout the gardens. And the new Dinosaurs Park.

Operated by the Minstead Trust, Furzey Gardens is more than a beautiful retreat—it’s a working garden with a social purpose. It offers transformative training and work opportunities for people with learning disabilities, helping them build confidence, skills, and independence.
Participants in the Jurassic Furzey Dinosaur Park project were involved in every stage, from researching dinosaur designs and crafting sculptures, to installing them throughout the gardens. Many of the Dinosuar creations are available to bid on, with proceeds going directly to support the individuals working in the gardens.
Furzey Gardens is open daily from 10am to 4pm—come for the dinosaurs, stay for the magic.
