As per government officials, Raiyoli village is well-known globally for being the second largest dinosaur hatchery, from where around 10000 dinosaur eggs were found. The village is also popular for being the third largest fossil site in the world. It is believed that the place and other spots surrounding it used to be a dwelling place for these gigantic creatures.

The CM while inaugurating the park further stated that the state government would be allocating INR 10 crore fund to promote this spot for tourism internationally. Referring to this, he added that Gujarat will soon feature on the world tourism map, and that this museum will be the latest addition to it.
The museum features around 50 sculptures of dinosaurs, including one life-size Rajasaurus Narmadensis, the fossil of which was found in Gujarat. Quite interestingly, the museum will also have 3D projections, which will provide 360 degree virtual reality presentations, gaming consoles, interactive kiosks, and many other high-end facilities.
Further, the said museum has a lot to offer to those who are very keen on exploring the ancient reptile with detailed information from its origin to extinction.

Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Ltd. has built this entire infrastructure. And as per the latest reports, a society has also been formed to maintain and operate the museum.
