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.

Here is everything you need to know—from choosing tickets and preparing younger children to planning what to do before and after the show.

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 already 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

Its non-verbal format makes the story accessible to local and international audiences while allowing children and adults to focus on the dinosaurs, movement 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 therefore use their discretion when bringing younger children who may be sensitive to these elements.

Explore the DINOSAUR ODYSSEY Activation Area after the show

Audience members are encouraged to stay after the performance and explore the DINOSAUR ODYSSEY Activation Area at the venue.

Discover additional dinosaur-themed experiences, take memorable photos and browse a selection of exclusive dinosaur merchandise and collectibles from Japan available for purchase.

Activation activities and merchandise are subject to availability.

Stop at DINO Café before or after the show

Families can also visit DINO Café at Senmo Coffee for a dinosaur-themed food and beverage experience accompanied by exclusive merchandise.

The café is open during the show period and does not require a DINOSAUR ODYSSEY ticket or reservation.

As food and drinks are not permitted inside the performance area, families should finish their refreshments before proceeding to the show.

Turn the show into a family staycation

Families planning to combine DINOSAUR ODYSSEY with Singapore Oceanarium can book a two-night hotel package at The Laurus or Hotel Ora.

Both packages are available for stays from 2 to 7 December 2026 and cover two adults and one child. They bring the accommodation, daily breakfast, Singapore Oceanarium admission and show tickets together in one booking, making them particularly useful for families who want more than a single-day visit.

Compare the DINOSAUR ODYSSEY hotel packages

The rates shown are total starting prices for the complete minimum two-night package for two adults and one child.

Performance tickets will be allocated as part of the hotel package, so guests cannot select their preferred show session. Families should check the allocated performance details before planning their Singapore Oceanarium visit and other activities.

Both stays can be booked through the DINO-A-LIVE hotel-package page.

Which hotel package should your family choose?

The Hotel Ora bundle has the lower starting rate and includes a complimentary extra bed upon request. It may suit families looking for a convenient two-night stay with Category 2 show tickets and Singapore Oceanarium admission included.

The The Laurus bundle offers a more premium experience with a Deluxe Suite, Category 1 tickets and the T-Rex Photo Experience. It may be a better fit for families who want to sit closer to the action and take home a professional photograph from the show.

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

How to plan your family visit

Before booking

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

For a single-day experience, compare the individual ticket categories, Family Package and VIP Package. If you intend to stay at Resorts World Sentosa and visit Singapore Oceanarium, compare the two hotel bundles before purchasing separate tickets.

Parents of younger children should also consider how comfortable their child will be with darkness, loud sounds and large moving dinosaurs.

Before leaving home

Prepare your tickets and check the scheduled performance carefully. Hotel-package guests should use the session allocated with their booking.

As photography is restricted during the performance, plan to capture family pictures at the closing curtain, around the activation area or through the separate T-Rex Photo Experience.

Getting to Resorts World Convention Centre

Guests arriving by taxi or private-hire vehicle can use the WEAVE drop-off point and follow the resort’s directional signs towards Resorts World Convention Centre.

Public Bus 123 and the RWS8 bus from HarbourFront MRT Exit C stop at the Resorts World Sentosa B1 Transport Hub. Drivers can use the public car parks serving WEAVE, the casino and Resorts World Convention Centre.

When you arrive

Doors open 60 minutes before each performance. Arriving when the doors open gives families time to locate the venue, use the washroom and settle in without rushing.

Depending on your showtime, you can visit DINO Café before entering. After the performance, stay to explore the DINOSAUR ODYSSEY Activation Area at the venue.

During the performance

Professional photography and video-recording equipment are not permitted inside the performance area. Unauthorised photography, video or audio recording, flash photography and livestreaming are also prohibited during the show. Guests may take photographs during the closing curtain only.

After the final roar

Stay after the performance to explore the DINOSAUR ODYSSEY Activation Area, where guests can discover additional dinosaur-themed experiences, take photos and browse exclusive merchandise and collectibles from Japan. Guests who purchased the Dinosaur Photo Experience can also complete their professional photoshoot, subject to availability and the instructions provided for their session.
