After Star Trek and Fast & Furious, Jurassic Park is a relief: release order and chronological order are identical. Watch them as they came out and nothing is out of place.

The only nuance is the two animated series, which run alongside and after the Jurassic World films.

The order

Jurassic Park (1993), The Lost World (1997), Jurassic Park III (2001), Jurassic World (2015), Fallen Kingdom (2018), Dominion (2022), Jurassic World Rebirth (2025).

Camp Cretaceous takes place during Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom. Chaos Theory follows Dominion. Both are optional.

Can I skip straight to Jurassic World?

You can — it is designed as a soft reboot twenty-two years later, and it explains itself. But you would be skipping the best film in the series to do it.

Jurassic Park (1993) is not just the original, it is the one that still holds up completely. If you watch nothing else here, watch that.

What is worth watching

Jurassic Park is essential. The Lost World is a decent darker sequel. Jurassic World is a fun, knowing reboot. The rest are for people who want more dinosaurs, which is a perfectly good reason.
