Exhibition Overview
The "Living Dinosaurs" exhibition is the Macao Science Center's first special exhibition themed around dinosaurs. Visitors are transported back to the Mesozoic era, encountering up to 14 incredibly lifelike dinosaur specimens.
Key Features
- Immersive Experience: Step into a prehistoric world surrounded by realistic dinosaurs.
- Educational Content: Learn extensive archaeological research and facts about dinosaurs.
- Interactive Fun for Kids: Children can experience riding a T-Rex and take photos with various dinosaur family members.
- Future Tech Enhancements: The museum will introduce new interactive games using motion-sensing virtual reality and augmented reality, along with e-books and dinosaur models, to educate the public on dinosaur origins, habits, and evolution.
Weekend Activities
- Little Science Guides: Every weekend, local Macau students aged 8–12 serve as "Little Science Guides," explaining the features of each dinosaur and sharing popular science knowledge with visitors.
- Family Workshops & Shows: The center regularly hosts parent-child workshops, science theater performances, and drama-guided tours to make the visit more engaging and deepen understanding of dinosaurs.
Planetarium Show
During the exhibition, the planetarium premieres a new 3D dome show, "My Dinosaur Era 3D." This award-winning film takes audiences on an adventure with the protagonist Lucy and her father to find the ancestors of pterosaurs and modern birds, culminating in the experience of the asteroid impact that led to the dinosaurs' mass extinction. The show won the "Most Creative Dome Production Award" at the 2013 Jena Fulldome Festival in Germany.
