Looking for exciting things to do with kids in Singapore during the December school holidays? Fifteen life-sized dinosaurs are coming to Resorts World Sentosa when the acclaimed Japanese live dinosaur experience DINO-A-LIVE brings DINOSAUR ODYSSEY to Singapore.

Running for a limited season from 3 to 6 December 2026, the approximately 70-minute production combines life-sized moving dinosaurs with music, dance, immersive visuals and theatrical effects. It will be DINO-A-LIVE’s first large-scale indoor production outside Japan, giving families the chance to encounter realistic dinosaurs moving and roaring remarkably close to the audience.

Families can attend the show as a day visit or turn the experience into a minimum two-night stay at Hotel Ora or The Laurus. The hotel packages combine accommodation, breakfast, Singapore Oceanarium admission and DINOSAUR ODYSSEY tickets for two adults and one child.

This guide compares the hotel packages before covering showtimes, individual ticket prices, admission rules and everything else families need to plan their visit.

Plan a DINO-A-LIVE family staycation at Resorts World Sentosa

The DINO-A-LIVE hotel packages are designed for families who want to experience more than the performance alone. Instead of arranging accommodation, attraction admission and show tickets separately, each package brings the main parts of the trip together in one booking.

Packages are available for stays from 2 to 7 December 2026. The included DINOSAUR ODYSSEY tickets are for the 8pm performance on the second day of the stay, giving families a clear showtime around which to plan their Singapore Oceanarium visit, meals and other activities.

The rates shown are total starting prices for the complete minimum two-night package for two adults and one child. Rates, rooms and package inclusions are subject to availability and the applicable booking terms and conditions.

Specific seats cannot be selected. Seats will be allocated within the stated sections, with the three package seats placed together.

Which DINO-A-LIVE hotel package should your family choose?

Choose Hotel Ora for convenience and value. The Hotel Ora package has the lower starting rate, a modern 32 sqm Deluxe Room and a complimentary extra bed upon request. It may suit families looking for a practical two-night stay with Category 2 show tickets and Singapore Oceanarium admission already included.

Choose The Laurus for a more spacious and premium stay. The Laurus package includes a 72 sqm Deluxe Suite, Category 1 show tickets and the Dinosaur Photo Experience. It may be better suited to families who value additional space, upgraded ticket seating and a professional photograph with the life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex.

If your family only wants to attend DINOSAUR ODYSSEY, individual show tickets provide the more straightforward option. The hotel packages offer greater relevance when accommodation and a Singapore Oceanarium visit are already part of your plans.

Planning tip: Compare the hotel bundles before purchasing individual show tickets, as each package already includes DINOSAUR ODYSSEY admission for two adults and one child.

DINOSAUR ODYSSEY Singapore at a glance

What is DINO-A-LIVE PREMIUM | DINOSAUR ODYSSEY?

DINOSAUR ODYSSEY is an immersive live dinosaur show created in Japan. Unlike a conventional dinosaur exhibition featuring static models or dinosaurs viewed on screens, the production places audiences in the same performance space as life-sized dinosaurs that move freely around them.

The dinosaurs blink, breathe, shift their muscles and move with the physical characteristics of living creatures. From subtle movements to powerful footsteps and roars, every detail is designed to create the sensation that the audience has entered a prehistoric world.

The experience is brought to life using DINO-TECHNE, a self-supporting dinosaur-shaped mechanical suit developed by Japanese company ON-ART over more than 20 years. The technology is patented in 14 countries as of 2026, with each dinosaur operated by a specially trained pilot.

DINOSAUR ODYSSEY has attracted more than 25,000 attendees in Japan. Its Singapore debut will be the production’s first large-scale indoor presentation outside Japan.

What happens during DINOSAUR ODYSSEY?

The non-verbal production takes audiences back to a time before humankind, following the development of life and the prehistoric world through dinosaurs, nature and changing environments.

Rather than relying on spoken dialogue, the story is conveyed through:

• Life-sized moving dinosaurs
• Music and dance
• Theatrical lighting and sound
• Immersive projections
• Plants, flowers and other depictions of nature
• Special effects that transform the performance space

The story explores survival, family, instinct and the cycle of life, building towards a dramatic confrontation between Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. Its non-verbal format makes the experience accessible to local and international audiences while allowing children and adults to focus on the movement, scale and visual storytelling.

Which dinosaurs will appear?

Each performance will feature 15 life-sized dinosaurs. The prehistoric line-up includes:

• Stegosaurus
• Brachiosaurus
• Ankylosaurus
• Parasaurolophus
• Utahraptor
• Triceratops
• Suchomimus
• Tyrannosaurus
• Dakotaraptor
• Allosaurus

The dinosaurs move through the performance space rather than remaining confined to a conventional stage, allowing audiences to appreciate their scale and details at unusually close range.

Is DINOSAUR ODYSSEY suitable for children?

DINOSAUR ODYSSEY is designed as a family entertainment experience for children, adults and different generations to enjoy together.

However, the production features large moving dinosaurs, sudden movements, loud sounds, darkness, theatrical lighting, projections and other immersive effects. Parents and guardians should use their discretion when bringing younger children who may be sensitive to these elements.

How to plan your family visit

Before booking

First, decide whether you are planning a single-day visit or a minimum two-night family stay.

If you intend to stay at Resorts World Sentosa and visit Singapore Oceanarium, compare the Hotel Ora and The Laurus packages before purchasing separate show tickets. If you only want to attend DINOSAUR ODYSSEY, compare the individual ticket categories, Family Package and VIP Package.

Parents of younger children should also consider how comfortable their child will be with darkness, loud sounds, immersive effects and large dinosaurs moving close to the audience.

Before leaving home

Prepare your tickets and check the scheduled performance carefully. Hotel-package guests should plan around the 8pm performance on the second day of their stay.

As photography is restricted during the performance, plan to capture family pictures during the closing curtain, around the Activation Area or through the separate Dinosaur Photo Experience.
