Visit to Dinosaurs!:A T-Rex named SUE & Friends ONCE was never enough! I was there TWICE & I think a 3rd visit would still be good.

My last visit (before this Dinosaurs Exhibition) to the Singapore Science Centre was during my school days. I am now married with 2 children (3 & 5 yrs old). You can imagine how long I had not been there.

It caught my attention when I saw the advertisment that SUE was coming to Town. I believe all kids love Dinosaurs, & that included my 2 children. Thus my family & I decided to pay a visit to the Singapore Science Centre for the first time.

I was amazed when we reached the Science Centre. It had changed so much. The first thing that attracted the kids was the WaterWorks. It was a water playground where the kids could play & learnt at the same time.

We were there in the morning, took our breakfast at the Mcdonalds in the Science Centre & headed to the ticket counter. We were pleased to see that it actually offered a Super Value Package for a family of four. It included the Science Centre Admission, Dinosaurs!:A T-Rex Named Sue & Friends Exhibition, and also the T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous Omnimax Movie.

The Omnimax movie was at 2pm so we spent the first few hours in the Science Centre & the Water Playground. In the Science Centre itself, there were numerous shows & programmes at differnt timings. We would never be bored inside.

The BEST was kept for the last. Finally after the Omnimax movie, we proceed to the Dinosaurs!:A T-Rex named SUE & Friends Exhibition.

I thought it was a exhibitions with only skeletons & was worried that my children would get bored halfway through. But I was wrong!

It was a very interesting exhibitions full of activities & programmes. Children were able to create their own paper 3D Dinosaurs. There were papers tracing on different dinosaurs & other creatures, and videos about Dinosaurs played in the Exhibition. There was also a dinosaur bones digging sessions in a pool of sands at the corner of the hall.

There were so much things to keep the children busy in the Exhibition. My children were so happy in there & forgot about their nap times.


This is the Superstar of the Exhibition, SUE.


& this is Stan.


This was some works that my children had completed during the exhibition visit.

At the end of the day, it was finally time for us to leave the Exhibition hall. It was never enough for us so we promised to come back again.
This was the 2 Dinosaurs sticker books that I bought for my kids. There were also many other stuffs the you can purchased the the little sovernoir shop just outside the Exhibition Hall.

I hope Singapore can bring more Dinosaurs Exhibitions to here again in the near future!
