Now You Can Hang Out With And Even Train Dinosaurs At Universal Studios Singapore

You get to see what happens when a Velociraptor escapes and a mighty T-Rex threatens to upend the peace and safety of the park in this show within a show. How meta. Some advice: It pays to come early to chope a spot in the front. You don’t just get to be closer to the action at what’s billed as the largest stage production for a daytime show at the park, you may even get picked to be part of the show. No prior experience with dinosaurs required.

Nothing much, just a Tyrannosaurus Rex coming to wreak havoc.

Don’t worry, this is a performer, not a member of the audience. These are some picky Pteranodons we have at the show, okay?

At the Hollywood Lagoon Stage at 1.30pm, 4pm, 6.30pm. Additional show at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

You get to be on camera with dinosaurs in the middle of the streets of New York at this augmented reality zone which lets you interact with them up close. See yourself on a giant screen shimmying with a T-rex or cozying up with a triceratops. How fun is that?

Check your self-consciousness at the door and forget about the bystanders watching you. Instead, focus on interacting with your dino pals, even if it’s just on screen. Or should we say, especially since it’s on screen, because you’ll get to pick photos and videos of your, er, performance after that. A much better deal than what Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard got, if you ask us.

At the New York Public Library zone. Available all day.

This is one for budding palaeontologists or zookeepers. You not only get to come face to face with a velociraptor, you learn how to train him to do your bidding at this 20-min crash course (various timings throughout the day). Dinosaurs, they're just like your cute lil' pupper at home.

That depends on how fast you pick up those training skills. Where’s Cesar Milan when you need him?

At The Lost World. Sun to Thur at 12pm, 2pm, 4.15pm and 6pm; Fri and Sat at 12pm, 2pm, 4.30pm, 7pm, with additional sessions at 11.30am and 7.30pm on Sat. Limited slots. Registration at the park is encouraged.

After all that flurry of dino-tivity, your stomach and Insta-feed would love this. There’s a cute Dino Egg Pasta, comprising a huuuuge meatball atop a bed of squid ink pasta (it’s slightly spicy, so take note, kiddos) and a T-rex Stacker (yummy fried chicken and waffles), among others. Available at all restaurants in USS.
