Surviving Dinosaurs Live

On New Year’s Day we brought the boys to the Singapore Science Centre to view the Dinosaurs Alive exhibits. They have about 50 different dinosaurs at the exhibit for viewing. I have been wanting to bring them there with their dad and New Year’s day was the perfect opportunity for us.

The dinosaur which welcomed us at the entrance. I love how they actually put the word “Welcome” next t it on a stand.

The boys checking out the 3D screens showing the Dinosaur show on the  National Geographic Channel on the TV screens.  The 3D effect was really cool but for the moment I’m sticking to 2D on the small screen for the kids as I’m not certain about whether there will be any detrimental effects due to long term usage of 3D glasses.

The first dinosaur which greeted us upon entering the exhibition.

It looks more impressive when shot under Night vision settings.

Even though the Doggie boy knew that they were mechanical dinosaurs and the growlings were just sounds coming from the sound system the “loudness” of the dinosaurs really disturbed him.

I guess that probably he won’t fancy going to rock concerts of discos when he grows up as he doesn’t like loud noises and they frighten him.

Met any Dinosaurs lately?

    My daughter loves dinosaurs, and would absolutely love that place. I’m terrified of them, so you definitely won’t find me in a place like that :)

    Have a happy new year!

    We love Dinosaur exhibits. They used to do one of the animatronic ones at our zoo every summer. My son used to be like your son, too. He didn’t like loud noises. He might be growing out of it. He’s not quite as bad as he used to be. But, he used to sit a lot of places with his ears covered. Happy Wordless Wednesday!

    A few year back they had some Dino’s at the Toranto Zoo…not 3D – but still amazing!!!! It wonderful to be able to “live” in that era even for a moment!! I love the hands in the ear shot!! Expresions like that are what really makes the experance feel real!!!

    That looks like an incredible exhibit! I took my son to our local one, and he was a bit hesitant about the dinosaurs — but still thought it was really cool. I think the 3d one would either blow his mind: or give him nightmares for a month! Sometimes with kids, ya just never know.

    Wow this looks like a fantastic place to learn and see some great exhibits for kids of all ages I think. I loved looking through the pictures, the boys must have loved it. A fascinating exhibit for sure, we haven’t been to Singapore but maybe one of these days. Enjoyed your blog, stopped over from VB :) Thanks for sharing these pictures!
