It Might Be a Scary Trip for Your Pets

As the area is narrow, there are limited spaces for your pets to do their “business”, so remember to bring along some poo bags to keep the place tidy and clean.


Do Not Pet the Dinosaurs

No, the dinosaurs do not bite, but due to the recent spade of vandalism (intentional or otherwise), several creatures have lost their bite, literally.

While the track is narrow, it certain creates the feeling of being imprisoned with the menacing critters. Time to run?


There are Cutie Baby Dinosaurs too!

The kids are certain to like these cute baby dinosaur hatch-lings. They may be a little hard to find, so keep your eyes glued to the rocks that lay strewn along the landscape. Being adorably cute on the grassy ground, these babies are also at the right height for some lovely photo moments with your kids. Just make sure not to touch the display so that other visitors can enjoy them too.


Have Lots of Fun Posting Scared

Along the entire stretch of the Changi Jurassic Mile, there are numerous photo opportunities. The creators have also incorporated murals and wall designs to convey the same feeling and ambience from the Jurassic Park movie franchise. Time to get creative and find that instagram-worthy pose!
