Jurassica, The Gardens Mall, KL

Located in The Gardens Mall, Jurassica is one of the latest attractions in Kuala Lumpur where families with young children can learn more about dinosaurs in a fun, interactive environment, get upclose with live reptiles, zipline across the jungle and you can even sit on a dinosaur!

Upon arrival, we were kitted out as Earth Cadets (with vests, torchlight and a RFID wrist band, to keep track of your points as you go through the attractions). After watching a short introductory video, we walked through a time tunnel and went back in time to meet the dinosaurs.

In this area, we had to go on a scavenger hunt and collect data about prehistoric flora, fauna and dinosaur DNA by scanning our RFID bands, hopefully to "save our planet from its current 6th mass extinction.". Here, your children can get upclose with the dinosaurs and learn more about each of them (such as their diet, weight and habitat).

Or you can take fun photos like this

You can also collect points by racing with a theropod as well as scaling the interactive climbing wall. Then, zipline across the "hot lava" towards the King of the Tyrant Lizards, T-rex. You may also encounter some dino poo along the way. :P

Haha mummy, look at our teeth!

 RUNNNNNNNN for your life, it's the T-rex!

Sit on a dinosaur and pose for a photo!

 Oops... dino poo!

There is also a live reptile zone with African lungfish, mata-mata turtle, saillfin dragon, Vietnamese mossy frog, milk snake, leopard gecko and bearded dragon. They have feeding sessions, reptile talks and animal appearances at certain time of the day.

There is also a 3-storey play zone with slides, ball pit and climbing frames, to keep the younger ones amused. Adjacent to the play zone is a fossil excavation site as well as the Projection Room, whereby kids can design their own dino, scan and watch it come to life on the big screen.

Just before exiting, you can check all the points you have collected and redeem a small dino-related prize.
