You might remember learning about dinosaurs when you were a kid and being fascinated by them. But probably the only time you’ve seen these prehistoric creatures are on excursions to natural history museums or when you watch the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movie franchise.

But this is no longer the case for Malaysians. Zoo Melaka has now opened a new Dinosaur Encounter park packed with replica dinosaurs today (25th December 2020). Visitors dropping by will get to walk around the new 5-acre space – about the size of 4 football fields – that is now “home” to over 150 life-sized dinosaur replicas. This park features over 100 species of the prehistoric animals in all shapes and sizes – including some that are so tall you’ll have to crane your neck to admire them, and others so large that you’ll can’t help but compare feet sizes with them.

According to Dinosaur Encounter’s Facebook page, this park is also the largest interactive dinosaur park in Southeast Asia. The cost to develop it is said to be around a whooping RM12 million. Fans of the Jurassic Park film series will get to spot dinosaurs you’ve seen in the films, including raptors and the almighty T-Rex. But it’s not all vicious dinosaurs here, as famous herbivores, such as the Brachiosaurus with its well-known long neck, can also be spotted hiding out in the park.
