Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park received critical praise adapting Michael Crichton's novel and bringing life to Isla Nublar. But where was it filmed?
After Steven Spielberg did a fantastic job in adapting Jurassic Park and bringing to life Isla Nubar, it isn't surprising that some fans wanted to know more about the fictional island and filming locations. First appearing in Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel of the same name, Isla Nublar is the island where entrepreneur John Hammond established the first dinosaur theme park that ultimately failed and unleashed a new generation of prehistoric creatures into the wild.
Jurassic Park’s Theme Park Scenes Were Filmed At The Kualoa Ranch The Kualoa Ranch is a specific area of Oahu that was used for the scenes taking place within the gates of Hammond’s park. Those iconic Jurassic Park gates, the group’s first tour through the park, their first sighting of the dinosaurs, and the memorable T-Rex escape scene were all filmed at the ranch .
The Mojave Desert was the only outdoor location included in Jurassic Park that’s on the mainland United States. By filming the rest of the exterior shots in Hawaii, the film clearly draws a distinction between these two locations and emphasizes just how far away from home the characters are when they’re lost on Isla Nublar.
Warner Bros. allowed Spielberg to use numerous stages to film the T-Rex scenes, simply because none of the other sound stages were large enough to house the animatronic structure in its entirety. Several powerful dinosaurs appear in Jurassic Park, but the T-Rex is undoubtedly the most iconic - so it was important that Spielberg had a reliable location to film these scenes and even do repeat takes if necessary, which might not have been possible during an on-location shoot.
