THEY?RE supposed to be extinct some 60 million years ago, but dinosaurs are alive and they?re visiting Manila. Specifically, they have set up camp at Block 5, SM Mall of Asia. But hurry, the dinosaurs are not here to stay.

?Dinos Alive World Tour? was launched on Nov. 27, to a crowd of kids and adults, anticipating what?s behind the ominous doors. Coming from Bangkok and Jakarta, where it attracted more than 250,000 visitors, MAX Entertainment, the organizers of the Dinos Alive World Tour, brought the attraction to Manila.

Upon entering, guests will see a dinosaur skeleton reproduction, and it?s where the adventure begins. Dinosaur replicas from the Cretaceous and Jurassic eras are in every corner, always engaged in some sort of activity. Some just look left and right, while others seem to be caught in the middle of a meal. These replicas are not just mere sculptures, they really move, blink, breathe, and growl at you.

Be alert always, and be careful of staring, because there might be a dinosaur behind you. Creatures from the dark corners will appear just when you?re not looking! The place is set up with rivers and lakes with greeneries and sometimes also with volcanoes to really set the mood.

There?s also a fossil dig, a dino train, the QTV movie theater, magicians, clowns and stage performances every hour. After the tour, guests can take a break and grab some food from the number of stalls at the grass lawn. It doesn?t stop there, there?s also a picture booth, Santa?s corner and souvenirs for sale at the shopping area.

Family packages are available, and early birds get free treats from the Dinos Alive Tour sponsors. Tickets to the Dinos Alive World Tour are available from Ticketworld or you can call 0927-4170008 for promos and family packages.
