How to Get Brachiosaurus in My Dino Park
Brachiosaurus is the best outcome of the $10,000 Rare Egg — it earns $700 per minute, and its $12,000 sticker is the only Rare price that is actually higher than the egg. It pays back in 14.3 minutes at the real egg price, ranking 6th of 12 dinosaurs.
The Short Answer
Brachiosaurus is a Rare dinosaur and the $10,000 Rare Egg is its only source — one of three possible outcomes alongside Velociraptor and Stegosaurus. Here the trap is inverted: the sticker price ($12,000) is higher than the egg ($10,000), so the egg actually saves you $2,000. It is also the best earner in the Rare pool at $700 per minute, and the fastest-paying Rare at 14.3 minutes on real cost.

✅ The best roll in the Rare pool — and the egg is cheaper than the sticker The Rare Egg averages $600 per minute across its three outcomes, and Brachiosaurus is the top of that pool: +17% ahead of Stegosaurus and +40% ahead of Velociraptor. On top of that, the egg costs 10,000 while the sticker says 12,000 — a 2000 saving that no other Rare offers. The listed payback of 17.1 minutes drops to 14.3 at the real egg price.
The $12,000 Sticker Is $2,000 Too High
Tier lists quote the 12,000 dinosaur value. That is an in-game valuation, not a purchase price. The only route to a Brachiosaurus is the 10,000 Rare Egg — which costs less than the sticker. Velociraptor's egg costs $2,000 more than its sticker and Stegosaurus' is exactly equal; Brachiosaurus is the only Rare where the egg undercuts the price by 2000 (the egg is just 83% of the sticker).

📈 The only Rare with a discount built in Rank the roster by sticker payback and Brachiosaurus sits 9 of 12 at 17.1 minutes. Re-price every dinosaur at the egg you actually buy and it jumps to 6 of 12 at 14.3 minutes — the 2000 egg discount moves it up three spots. It now outranks Spinosaurus (17.9 min) and Triceratops (16.7 min), which cost far more per minute of income.
All 3 Rare Egg Outcomes, Ranked
The $10,000 Rare Egg lists 3 possible dinosaurs, so each roll is roughly a 33% shot at any one of them. You pay the same $10,000 no matter which appears, so the income column is the only column that matters — and Brachiosaurus wins it.
| Result | Listed value | Income | Payback at egg price | vs Brachiosaurus | Maxed income |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🦒 BrachiosaurusRare | $12,000 | $700/min | 14.3 min | — | $7,560/min |
| 🦕 StegosaurusRare | $10,000 | $600/min | 16.7 min | -14% | $6,480/min |
| 🦎 VelociraptorRare | $8,000 | $500/min | 20.0 min | -29% | $5,400/min |
🎲 The roll you actually want Brachiosaurus lands 1 of 3 by income — $700 per minute is the ceiling of the pool. The other 2 results (67% of rolls) earn less: Stegosaurus is +17% behind and Velociraptor is +40% behind. Every roll of the $10,000 egg that is not a Brachiosaurus still hands you a positive-income dinosaur, so there is no losing outcome — only a less good one.
How Many Eggs Until a Brachiosaurus?
Each roll is independent, so a miss never improves the next attempt. With 3 outcomes the per-egg chance is about 33%. The last two columns show what you own regardless of whether the roll cooperates.
| Eggs | Total spend | Chance of ≥1 | Slots filled | Income either way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10,000 | 33.3% | 1 | $600/min |
| 2 | $20,000 | 55.6% | 2 | $1,200/min |
| 3 | $30,000 | 70.4% | 3 | $1,800/min |
| 4 | $40,000 | 80.2% | 4 | $2,400/min |
| 5 | $50,000 | 86.8% | 5 | $3,000/min |
🧠 Worth chasing — but budget for the average Targeting a specific Brachiosaurus takes 3 eggs on average, or $30,000, which works out to a 42.9 minute payback — three times the 14.3 minutes of a single egg. The difference is that those 3 eggs are not wasted: every roll that misses still pays out $1,800 per minute across filled slots at the pool average. It is the only Rare worth specifically chasing, precisely because the failures still earn.
The $10,000 Decision: Egg or Upgrades?
At $500 the Common Egg is the only move. At $10,000 the answer flips: a Visitor Booth ($2,000) plus a Food Court ($8,000) costs the same as one Rare Egg and multiplies everything you already own by ×1.8.
$10,000 Rare Egg
Adds one dinosaur worth the pool average of $600 per minute — or $700 per minute if the roll lands on Brachiosaurus, the best case in the shop.
+$600/min
Roughly 53% of an Uncommon-stage park per egg; up to $700 on a good roll
$10,000 Booth + Food Court
Multiplies the whole roster by a flat 80%. Whatever you already earn, you now earn 80% more of it.
+$900/min
A 80% lift on a $1,125 per minute park — +$900/min
🧮 Upgrades win past $750 per minute The Rare Egg adds $600 per minute at the conservative pool average. The ×1.8 stack adds $900 per minute on an Uncommon-stage park — 1.5× more for the same money. The break-even is 750 per minute of park income: below that, the egg is the better single purchase; above it, the upgrades pull ahead. See the full upgrade order →
One Slot, Priced Against the Legendary
Brachiosaurus is efficient per dollar, but its $700 per minute caps out fast. Take $50,000: it buys exactly one T-Rex at $2,500 per minute in a single slot, or 5 Rare Eggs averaging $3,000 per minute across 5 slots — a 20% edge for the same money, if you have the enclosures to hold them.

🎁 The free-code shortcut The 11 active codes are worth $171,650 in Cash, which buys 17 Rare Eggs with $1,650 left over — around 5.7 expected Brachiosaurus and roughly $10,200 per minute across 17 filled slots at the pool average. The same Cash buys 3 T-Rex ($7,500 per minute): the egg route earns 1.36× more per minute when you have the slots. Grab every active code →
Every Dinosaur, Priced at the Egg You Actually Buy
Standard tier lists divide the listed value by income, which flatters expensive dinosaurs and punishes cheap ones. This table uses the egg price you genuinely pay. Brachiosaurus moves from 9 of 12 on the sticker basis to 6 of 12 on real cost.

Brachiosaurus ranks 6 of 12 on real cost — 14.3 minutes, versus 17.1 on the sticker and 9 of 12 on that basis. It is the fastest-paying Rare, ahead of every Epic, the T-Rex and Velociraptor. The catch is the cap: $700 per minute is still far below Legendary income, so treat it as the Rare-tier graduation, not the finish line.
A Maxed-Out Brachiosaurus
Stacking all four park upgrades multiplies every dinosaur by ×10.8 for a total of $80,000. Brachiosaurus contributes 8.7% of a full 12-dinosaur park income for 8.4% of its cost — a fair trade, and a strong argument that it earns its slot.

The multiplier applies to every dinosaur equally, so it never changes which one is the better buy — it only shortens every payback in the park at the same rate.
Four Mistakes to Avoid
✕ Paying the $12,000 sticker price
The $12,000 figure is a valuation, not a purchase price. The only route is the $10,000 Rare Egg — never treat the sticker as your budget.
✕ Refusing to settle for the other rolls
Chasing Brachiosaurus specifically averages 3 eggs ($30,000). Stegosaurus and Velociraptor are both positive-income results — take them while you keep rolling and you lose nothing.
✕ Jumping to Epic Eggs too early
The $25,000 Epic Egg costs 2.5× a Rare Egg. Triceratops pays back in 20.8 minutes versus Brachiosaurus' 14.3 — the Rare is the better mid-game purchase until Cash stops being your bottleneck.
✕ Treating Brachiosaurus as the endgame
At $700 per minute it is the best Rare but still a fraction of Legendary income. It is the graduation from the Rare tier and the bridge to Epic — not the final dinosaur in your park.

How do I get a Brachiosaurus in My Dino Park?
Buy a $10,000 Rare Egg from the egg shop and hatch it. Brachiosaurus is one of three possible outcomes, alongside Velociraptor and Stegosaurus, so each egg has roughly a 33% chance.
Is the $12,000 price real?
No — that is an in-game sticker valuation. The only way to obtain a Brachiosaurus is the $10,000 Rare Egg, which is $2,000 cheaper than the sticker. It is the only Rare dinosaur where the egg undercuts the listed price.
How long does a Brachiosaurus take to pay back?
14.3 minutes at the real egg price ($10,000 ÷ $700 per minute). That ranks 6th of 12 dinosaurs — the fastest-paying Rare, ahead of every Epic, the T-Rex and Velociraptor.
Is Brachiosaurus the best Rare dinosaur?
Yes. It earns $700 per minute, 17% more than Stegosaurus and 40% more than Velociraptor, making it the best outcome of the Rare Egg. The trade-off is the cap: $700 per minute is still well below Epic and Legendary income.
Brachiosaurus vs Triceratops — which should I buy?
For the same value-per-dollar, Brachiosaurus. It pays back in 14.3 minutes versus Triceratops' 20.8. Triceratops earns more per minute ($1,200) but costs 2.5× as much to chase ($25,000 Epic Egg, 50% odds). Brachiosaurus is the smarter mid-game buy; Triceratops is the upgrade once Cash flows freely.
How many eggs does it take to get one?
Three eggs on average — a $30,000 expected spend. After five eggs you have a 86.8% chance of at least one Brachiosaurus, and every miss still leaves you with a positive-income Velociraptor or Stegosaurus.
Is Brachiosaurus worth chasing with free codes?
Yes. The 11 active codes are worth $171,650 in Cash — about 17 Rare Eggs, or roughly 5.7 expected Brachiosaurus, earning around $10,200 per minute at the pool average. It is the best Rare to spend code Cash on because no roll is a loss.
Brachiosaurus vs T-Rex — what's the difference?
The T-Rex earns 3.6× more per minute ($2,500) but costs 5× more ($50,000 Legendary Egg) and pays back in 20.0 minutes versus 14.3. Brachiosaurus is the faster, safer mid-game pick; the T-Rex is the late-game income ceiling.
