Step aside, Isla Nublar, Singapore’s where the dinos are at. To be precise, we’ll play host to these prehistoric beasts from 29th May 2025, when Jurassic World: The Experience opens at the Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay – just in time for the June holidays.

Jurassic World is one of the highest-grossing movie franchises of all time, with the latest instalment, starring Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, due to hit cinemas this July. Iconic Jurassic World scenes from the show will be brought to life in the cool-moist climate of the Cloud Forest – the perfect conditions for many of the prehistoric plants that lived alongside and sustained dinosaurs all those ages ago.
If the majesty of the Cloud Forest was not awe-inspiring enough, the interactive exhibits are sure to blow some socks off.

Putting the animatronic T-Rex and 5m-tall Brachiosaurus at the Jurassic Nest Food Hall to shame are even more true-to-life models of the same dinos. The Brachiosaurus at Jurassic World: The Experience is a whole, towering 3.5m taller – that’s almost 3 storeys, FYI.
You should probably also take them at their word when they say the new T-Rex is “terrifying”, and that you would have a “thrilling encounter” with it.

There’s quite literally no escaping these 2 massive creatures, and a whole host of other life-sized animatronic dinosaurs in the 13 zones of this experience. What you might miss, however, are the Composognathus, AKA Compys, which will be skulking in the lush underbrush.

One of the zones in Jurassic World: The Experience is a Petting Zoo, where visitors will get the chance to come face-to-face with little baby dinosaurs.
Thanks to the unique biosphere of the Cloud Forest, which mimics that found in the world’s Tropical Montane regions, there are more than 50 species of plants in this dome that can trace their ancestry back to the Jurassic period – AKA when dinosaurs walked the earth.
Hence, there’s no better place than here for the exclusive Evolution Walk, which takes guests through an educational journey about these plants, and those that came even before them. This walk will feature reconstructions of these ancient plants, and show us how they continue to thrive today, in spite of how the world’s ecosystem has changed.
Put on your best Owen Grady and Claire Dearing hats this May, and venture into the depths of Jurassic World: The Experience, right here in Gardens by the Bay. There’s no word yet on how long this experience will run for, so put it on your agenda soon before these dinos go extinct – again.
Date: From 29th May 2025
Time: 9am-9pm
Address: 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Cloud Forest, Singapore 018953
