SINGAPORE, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dinosaurs are set to roam the breathtaking, misty landscapes of Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay soon this year. Today, NEON and Universal Live Entertainment announced that Jurassic World: The Experience will open at the cooled conservatory of the iconic Singapore attraction in on 29 May 2025.
Jurassic World The Experience
Life-sized animatronic and sculpted dinosaurs nestled amidst the lush foliage of Cloud Forest bring the cinematic wonder of the Jurassic World film franchise from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment to life. There will be various exciting zones for visitors to explore with highlights such as:
- The breathtaking majesty of an 8.5m tall Brachiosaurus – almost three stories high - that will greet visitors when they enter Cloud Forest
- A thrilling encounter with the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex
- A face-to-face interaction with baby dinosaurs in the Petting Zoo area
- Discover tiny and elusive Composognathus, "Compys" hidden within lush garden pathways
The Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay replicates the cool-moist climate found in Tropical Montane regions in the world, between 1,000m and 3,500m above sea level. More than 72,000 plants thrive in Cloud Forest, with more than 50 species with lineages that can be traced back to the Jurassic period, such as ferns, cycads and conifers. These plants once thrived alongside dinosaurs and even served as food for them. Visitors will learn more about how these plants continue to thrive today and understand the intricate connections between past and present ecosystems.
An experience exclusive to Cloud Forest is Evolution Walk, where visitors can venture back to a time before the age of dinosaurs, to learn about ancient plant species that existed long before the emergence of those that bear flowers. Evolution Walk features reconstructions of ancient plants that have become extinct, in an eye-opening showcase of how plants have evolved.
Fans of the blockbuster films of the Jurassic World franchise will be especially thrilled when they spot iconic moments from the series brought to life through cutting-edge animatronics and interactive exhibits. This is the closest that they will ever come to living dinosaurs!
"We are thrilled to bring Jurassic World: The Experience to the Cloud Forest, one of the most iconic venues here in Singapore," said Mr. Ron Tan, Executive Chairman & Group CEO of NEON. "In collaboration with Universal Live Entertainment, Gardens by the Bay, and our valued partners, this world-class experience exemplifies NEON's commitment to delivering immersive and innovative experiential entertainment that captivate audiences of all ages. The seamless integration of cinematic storytelling with the natural beauty of Cloud Forest creates a truly unique and memorable journey for all visitors. We look forward to welcoming fans and friends from Singapore and beyond to step into the world of Jurassic and engage with this extraordinary experience in a truly iconic setting."
Mr. Felix Loh, CEO of Gardens by the Bay said, "Following the highly successful Avatar: The Experience in 2023, Cloud Forest will once again play host to another immersive blockbuster show as part of Gardens by the Bay's SG60 offerings. Besides life-sized dinosaurs roaming the mist-shrouded landscape, which will captivate visitors of all ages, what sets Gardens by the Bay's edition apart is a world-first educational showcase. Here, visitors will learn how prehistoric ecosystems once shaped our planet within the setting of a Cloud Forest, and the fascinating way plants have evolved through millions of years from the Jurassic period."
