A scenic retreat just for you. Amenities include relaxing furniture, a drink selection, and full-arm gloves for exploring stool samples. PLEASE DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE. Isla Nublar is a relatively small island approximately 40 minutes by helicopter from the capital of Costa Rica, San José. It has been developed with extensive infrastructure to house visitors and contains 15 different breeds of dinosaurs, centered in the northeast sector of Isla Nublar. The Visitor Center is located at the base of the mountains in its own compound. There is a separate hotel, or lodge, for visitor accommodation with a landscaped pool area. The visitor center contains exhibit space for educational purposes, the laboratories, the operations room, a garage where the electric touring cars are housed, and a hatchery where visitors can observe newborn dinosaurs.
