DINOEXPO XXL Estepona 2026
More than 120 life-size dinosaurs across 5,000 m² at the Estepona Convention Centre, in two daily sessions. Adults €12, children €10. Closed on 13 September 2026.
This edition took place in 2026.
DINOEXPO XXL took over the Estepona Convention Centre for the whole summer of 2026, from 27 June to 13 September. It brought together more than 120 life-size dinosaurs spread across 5,000 m², with a kids' zone, snack bar and souvenir shop.
The split timetable — morning (10:00–14:00) and evening (19:00–23:00) — made it easy to combine with a beach morning or an afternoon out.
The Convention Centre is in the centre of Estepona, easily reached from the beach and the historic quarter.
One of the largest summer exhibitions on the Málaga coast in 2026. DINOEXPO XXL turned the Convention Centre into an immersive space that worked well for the whole family — from young children discovering dinosaurs for the first time to adults with a genuine interest in natural history. The split schedule — mornings and evenings — fitted into almost any summer plan.
