One of the highlights of Dino Island is the T-Rex Tower. The tower is a 50-meter high structure that allows visitors to have a panoramic view of the park and the surrounding area. Visitors liken the experience to that of being a prey and the T-Rex Tower as the lookout point of the predator.

Dino Island also gives its visitors a chance to have a closer look at the dinosaurs through a guided tour. The tour guide provides fascinating facts about each dinosaur species and their habitat. The park also has a museum that showcases dinosaur relics and fossils, providing visitors with a glimpse into the world of paleontology. Overall, visitors enjoy their experience at Dino Island in Pampanga. The park immerses visitors into a prehistoric world, allowing them to explore and learn more about the extinct creatures that once roamed the earth. The combination of interactive robotic dinosaurs, panoramic views, and educational tours makes it a must-visit destination for families and dinosaur enthusiasts alike.

Philippine city of Pampanga, San Nicolas First, Lubao. The Historical Committee of the Philippines, a forerunner of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, erected a historical monument with a brief history of the building on the church's exterior in 1952.
