Do you know that a new exhibition "Titans of the Past" is here at the Singapore Science Centre?
I don't.
I only found out after a few parent bloggers attended the media invite and blogged about it. In fact, the exhibition started way back in October (that's two months ago) and I wonder why it wasn't publicized then?
I believe I only saw the advertisement on TV in late November? Anyway, I was contemplating whether to go or not to as the admission ticket seem pretty steep.
Well, it does not take a genius to guess that I gave in ultimately as it is not everyday that you can come face to face with a dinosaur!

Am quite certain this is a Pokemon character!
After the visit, I am very impressed by the exhibition particularly the animatronics from Kokoro in Japan which really bring these prehistoric creatures to life! I must admit that I was a little intimidated by the roars of the Tyrannosaurus Rex myself!
While the exhibits were pretty breathtaking, the Ice Age Mammals section is less intriguing. Apart from the ten animatronics mammals (all squeezed in a small room at the exit), there is not much information available to learn about the ice age. I had high expectations for this one.
On the whole, this exhibition is still worth a visit and I actually went through the exhibition three times!

The exhibition features the work of Dr Jack Horner, one of the world’s leading palaeontologists and consultant for Jurassic Park films, and his research team. It showcases beautiful and valuable real fossils including the largest T-Rex skull ever found, good-quality replicas, state-of-the art animatronics and a controversial story line.The second segment features life-sized dinosaur skeletal casts of the Argentinosaurus, measuring a majestic 36m in length and 7m in height, a Giganotosaurus and a T-rex.
The final segment, “Ice Age, The Exhibition” showcases animatronic mammals from the Ice Age which includes a mammoth, a mastodon and a saber-toothed tiger among others.
This is the first time this exhibition is being showcased in Asia.
The exhibition will be on till 23 February 2014. Ticket is priced at $25 for adults and $19 for kids. Ticket prices are inclusive of entry to the Science Centre.
