Which order is right for you

Watching Jurassic Park in order

The Jurassic films move forward in time across both the original Park trilogy and the Jurassic World trilogy, so release order matches the in-universe timeline. Start with the 1993 classic. Watch by release date.

Release order follows the real-world dates the films came out. It is usually the safest choice for a first watch, because every reveal, cameo, and callback lands the way audiences experienced it at the time.

Jurassic Park & Jurassic World is one of the straightforward ones. The story moves forward with each release, so the chronological timeline and the release timeline are the same list. Start at the top and work down.
