THEY are here! The dinosaurs, all 30 of them, are roaming the National Science Centre in Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.
Unlike their ancestors, these dinosaurs are here to have a roaring good
time educating and entertaining visitors about their lifestyle and food
habits.
These mechatronic dinosaurs are the main stars at the Dinosaurs Live
Exhibition which is on until end of July, just perfect for the coming
school holidays. These life-sized creations can move their bodies and
limbs, blink their eyes and roar like the real thing.
EXTINCT GIANTS
Visitors young and old can experience the world of these extinct giants with their intimidating size and ferocious roars.
The explanatory boards give and facts about these dinosaurs which dominated Earth some 65-250 million years ago.
Visitors will also learn about the animal’s anatomical characteristics, food patterns and habitats.
These dinosaurs are truly intercontinental — their fossils have been
discovered in almost all the five continents and come in various sizes
and colours.
Some are downright cute, like the ones found in China with a fleece of
golden fur and another huge fellow with a horn, which gives the creature
a goat-like mien rather than that of a typical dinosaur. Surely, you
would want to pat it rather than run away!
To make the experience more fun, take part in Outrun A Dinosaur. You
run on a track that has a speed device. You are competing against the
various dinosaur speeds of locomotion.
There is also a Dinosaur Kiosk where children can colour and etch out
the great creatures or ride the infamous Tyrannosaurus rex, better
known as T-Rex (of Jurassic Park fame), and his fellow terrors and take
pictures for a fee.
Entrance fees are RM15 for adults and RM12 for children aged 7-12 and students with ID tags. Children below 6 enter for free.
