Land Before Time
Took a day off today and visited Petrosains, The Discovery Centre at KLCC with my son and husband. My son, at the time being, is amazed with dinosaurs and last week while browsing MPH’s bookshelves he picked up a book about dinosaur and of course I had to buy it. He is in a learning process and is really excited to learn more about dinosaurs. Looking at his enthusiasm about dinosaurs, my husband and I took him to the Dinotrek 2 exhibition at Petrosains. (<–click thumbnail to see larger version).
It was fun learning about dinosaurs. I mean, I never had much effort to learn more about dinosaurs but I learned quite a lot of facts and theory there and one of it was the extinction of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs disappeared from the face of the earth some 65 million years ago and it was all due to a giant asteroid that struck the earth. To me it makes sense as the extinction went mass; all of a sudden, the dinosaurs were wiped out and there must be something big that had happened. Well, of course after learning about it, I went googling to find more about the extinction. Found out that there’s a new theory that it was not due to asteroid but due to volcano that erupted in India.
Anyway, back to Petrosains. We spent 3 hours at Dinotrek 2. Yassin had fun being a paleontologist; he dug and found a fossil!!
He was quite engrossed (so was my husband and me!) to discover more about dinosaurs through the detailed explanations, animatronic models, interactive games and quizzes. Dinotrek 2 showcases 5 types of dinosaurs (out of 527 recognized today!!) and they are Protoceratops, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors.
Lol, I think I’ve talked long enough; if you want to experience the fun; visit Dinotrek 2 at Petrosains, The Discovery Centre, KLCC. Tickets for adult is Rm6.00, children RM3.00. You can find millions of information available about dinosaurs on the net; from Wiki, Mail Online, Discovery Channel, National Geographic and many more.
Here are more pictures from our visit to Dinotrek 2:
And oh, if you visit Dinotrek2, don’t forget to do that Dino Dance; your action will be snapped. There will be 5 shots altogether (You”ll be chromakeyed with the dancing dinosaurs!) and you can directly e-mail the pictures to yourself using the computer stationed there! Here are our snapped photos, it’s not quite clear though as it captured video frames (720 x 576 at 72dpi).

The only thing I know about Dinosaurs are from Jurassic Park … LOL!
But Petrosains looks like a great place to take the kids one day. I’ve only been there on the outside a long time ago. We didn’t go in, just browsed the souvenir shop only.
