Dinos Alive! at Pusat Sains Negara

Dear Diary,

HELP! HELP! Dinosaurs are attacking KL. Yeah right!!! Well, at least there are dinosaurs albeit mechanical ones in Bukit Kiara. Pusat Sains Negara is having a DINOS ALIVE! exhibition from 1 December 2010 till 31 May 2011. Entrance fee are RM10 for adults (18 years and above), RM5 for kids (between 4 and 17 years old) and free for kids below 4 years old. It opens daily including public holiday from 9am until 5pm.

After reading about DINOS ALIVE! in newspaper, I thought it would be a good exposure to the kids and told Hubby so. He concurred and brought all of us there one fine weekend.

Pusat Sains Negara is one fun place to be especially for children and science lover. I thought this place is boring with offices, labs and serious experiments (that’s me who do not favor science much). Boy was I wrong! There are cool interesting science displays and also funny exciting kids’ zone. Before going in to see Dinos Alive!, we checked out other exhibitions first and the kids had a blast trying out gadgets and experimenting with science. The most important thing was the learning process they went through.

Then, it was time to enter the Dinos Alive exhibition. At the entrance, we were greeted by 5 meter tall Tyrannosaurus or T-Rex and 21 meter long Apatosaurus. These two dinosaurs’ replicas move and give out sounds too. They were a hit among visitors who were busy snapping pictures.

Inside the exhibition hall, visitors will travel about 150 millions years back to the time when dinosaurs roamed this Earth. There are 32 robotic dinosaurs on display which are built according to their real life sizes. Using animatronics technology, they move and emit scary sounds. Even I was startled when all of a sudden a replica moved beside me. Visitors can also see reproduction of dinosaurs’ bone structure such as Stegosaurus’ structure.
