Look out! Get up close with gigantic dinosaur eggs, the only dinosaur display along Jurassic Mile that you can get near enough to actually hug it.

Get your cameras ready to snap away as you walk alongside large dinosaurs at the Jurassic Mile, located along a section of the Changi Airport Connector near Terminal 4. From the towering Brontosaurus to the fearsome-looking T-Rex, be wowed as you venture back in time. With the longest dinosaur about 17-metre wide and the tallest one up to 5 metres high, you definitely won’t miss them! Perfect to explore with children, discover more about these prehistoric creatures together as a family through the informative panels along the path. Whip out those selfie sticks – with over 20 life-sized dinosaurs displayed across the Jurassic Mile, you’d want to be ready for every photo opportunity! (Psst, you might even hear some of them roar!)
