The location of the Jurassic Park gate is on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It requires an off-roading vehicle and some serious patience. The gate is not actually there anymore, but it is still so amazing to see how deep into the jungle they went to get the perfect shot for the 1993 film. This adventure has been on my bucket list for a few years now and I’m so glad I finally had the opportunity to do it. The trail was much worse than we expected and was nearly impassable. We made it, though!
The real Jurassic Park Gate location: 7:31
THE DIRECTIONS:
1. On the island of Kauai, put the Keahua Arboretum in your GPS. Go there.
2. You should now be at bridge. Cross over this and continue straight until you get to a fork. To the right should be a sign for the Powerline Trail. You are not going that way. Go left at this fork.
3. You will eventually reach a large, very obvious spillway. You will need to cross this if the river is low enough. Disclaimer: be mindful of the possibility of flash flooding!
4. Drive for a while on this path. There comes a point where you can only make a left or a right. Go right.
5. At the next fork, make a left. (You should see a sign about hunting posted on the tree in the middle of this fork).
6. Eventually, you will pass a rusty old yellow gate on your left. If you see this, you are on the correct path. Congrats!
7. Keep going straight and you will arrive at the two poles that look like they could be the old posts that held up the gates. This is NOT the location. Drive through these poles another 300 feet and you will be there. There’s nothing to indicate this, but you can find some pictures online with good side-by-side comparison shots to confirm this. As of 2018, it is a very dense, overgrown area.
8. BONUS: if you keep driving, you will eventually reach a large area for parking. This is the location of the T-Rex paddock (not featured in this video).
