Not all dinosaurs are terrifying. In Jurassic World Dino Encounter, you’ll get to meet 2 massive herbivores – a Triceratops and a Stegosaurus who are friendly enough to touch and even feed. It’s a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with these awe-inspiring creatures, making for a truly unforgettable trip to USJ.
Embark on a jungle adventure with Jurassic World Mission Walk
For those who love a good challenge, the Jurassic World Mission Walk invites you to explore the park’s dense jungle and take on exciting new missions. Armed with a mission booklet, you’ll embark on a quest to become a top-tier dinosaur researcher.

To take part in this mission, you’ll have to collect a free mission booklet from the Jurassic Outfitters merch shop between 8.30am and 9pm before they run out for the day. Then, go around the entire Jurassic Park and complete all the different tasks. Just a heads up – you’ll want to have a coin on hand, as some missions involve scratchcards to reveal your next challenge.
