What if we told you that you could walk among dinosaurs – all without a time machine? No, this isn’t part of the latest AI photo-editing trend. After touring the world in cities like Berlin, Melbourne, and Toronto, the immersive dinosaur-themed exhibition Jurassic World: The Experience is roaring its way into Singapore and taking over Gardens by the Bay’s Cloud with hyper-realistic dinosaur animatronics, reconstructions of verdant prehistoric landscapes, and interactive snippets throughout.
If you enjoyed Avatar: The Experience in the same location a while back, this is another exciting cinematic showcase to look forward to as it's by the very same people who brought that to life.
Why the Cloud Forest? With its mist-shrouded environment and existing foliage like conifers and ferns that can be traced back to the Jurassic era, the botanical attraction is already the perfect starting canvas for a troop of long-lost dinosaurs to roam once again. Extinct species have not been forgotten either; Transport yourself back to ancient times with the Evolution Walk experience, where you can trace the history of how the Earth’s ecosystem has evolved over time through realistic replicas of vegetation that now no longer exists.
Just make sure you keep an eye over your shoulder for the T-rex and other hungry creatures who might mistake you for a tasty snack. Amidst the shrubbery are life-sized dinosaur sculptures, from frightening predators like Velociraptors in mid-attack, to gentle giants like the 8.5-metre-tall Brachiosaurus. There’s also going to be a petting zoo where you can coo over cute little baby dinosaurs in a face-to-face interaction session, but hold your horses before you get any ideas – you can't keep them as pets in Singapore.
As you go about dinosaur walk, you’ll also be able to spot iconic scenes from the Jurassic Park blockbuster franchise which has been running since 1993. Its latest installment Jurassic World Rebirth will be showing in Singapore from July 3, 2025, and this exhibition is the perfect way to pick up some pre-show knowledge and hype yourself up for it.
Jurassic World: The Experience opens in Singapore on May 29, 2025 and will run for an unspecified limited period of time. Find out more and join the waitlist here.
