Looking for some holiday fun instead of being holed up at home? Look no further, as the dinosaurs have invaded Singapore in this latest attraction. Combine it with a cycling trip to East Coast Park and you can explore the eastern part of Singapore while working out.

Jurassic Mile is Singapore’s newest and largest permanent outdoor display of life-sized dinosaurs. More than 20 different pre-historic creatures from nine different species stretch over 1-kilometre of the cycling and jogging path. Expect to see carnivorous and herbivorous species, defensive dinosaurs, as well as those that fly. The tallest dinosaur stands at almost 5 meters high! 

From a towering Tyrannosaurus Rex to gigantic dinosaur eggs, visitors will be wowed by the lifelike dinosaur exhibits at the Changi Jurassic Mile, making it a perfect outdoor weekend destination for families and friends. 

These cute baby dinosaurs have golf balls in their mouth. Perhaps they have captured it from the nearby Tanah Merah Country Club.

These carnivorous looking dinosaurs have attacked a golf buggy cart and are looking around for their prey.

These signages look so real and they remind me of the Jurassic World at Universal Studios Singapore.

The largest dinosaur of all is the T-rex. Named the “king of the tyrant lizards,” T. rex was built to rule. With a massive body, sharp teeth, and jaws so powerful they could crush a car, this famous carnivore dominated the forested river valleys in western North America during the late Cretaceous period, 68 million years ago.

Did you know? This enormous four-legged dinosaur had a squat body covered with bony plates that were studded with spikes. At its tail, the plates fused together to form a thick club that the dinosaur could swing to fend off threats. This impressive defense offered Ankylosaurus protection from large land predators such as T-rex, which also roamed North America around this time. Would-be predators would have had to flip this armored dinosaur over to reach its broad underbelly—its only weak spot.

Triceratops was the last and largest of the horned dinosaurs. These dinosaurs are often pictured traveling in large groups, but the biggest gathering of Triceratops ever found consisted of three youngsters. Perhaps it lived only in family groups. Triceratops nipped at low-growing plants with its beak and cut them with its 800 little teeth. When walking, Triceratops’s toes pointed outward, a primitive posture common to most dinosaurs. Given its multi-ton weight, it did not walk quickly.

There’s also a lot of photo spot opportunities when walking along the trail, such as this baby dinosaur hatching out of the egg. The teeth look so realistic and menacing.

Last but not least, since Jurassic Mile is so close to Changi Airport, why not spend some time to do some plane spotting? It is really sad to see the Singapore Airlines and other planes being grounded. Hope that they will be able to fly soon, especially with the opening up of the travel bubble between Singapore and Hong Kong from 22 Nov onwards.

How to Get There

Travel to Jurassic Mile on foot or by cycling (rent a bicycle from GoCycling) from HUB & SPOKE or from East Coast Park via the Changi Coastal Park Connector. 

Jurassic Mile is open 24 Hours everyday, and there is no need to do pre-booking now. Just make sure that you adhere to safe distancing measures. On weekends when it is more crowded, bicycles have to be pushed along the walkway.
