When we were invited to pack our sleeping bags for a Dinosaur sleepover (Dinosnores!), Daddy packed his pyjamas faster than our pillows!
Daddy loved his earlier exposure at “Dinosaurs: Dawn to Extinction“, and two boys will be joining him to sleep under the watchful eyes of Dinosaurs for one night!
Our interactive tour started at 7pm, after the last visitors have left Artscience Museum. Can you imagine having the whole Museum to yourself?
Our friendly guide shared more history about the dinosaurs and fossils.
There are quizzes along the way, and kids will try to guess the answer from their play cards clue.
Under the shadows, the dinosaurs seem to project a life of it’s own.
The background sound effects heightens our senses, just in case a dinosaur decides to ambush us infront.
If not for the chatty kids, the Museum would be very quiet. Their excitement and inquisitive nature echoes down the corridor.
Excavation and exploration is tiring, no one will ever say paleontologist is an easy job, so many things to remember, no wonder kids got hungry quickly.
Our light dinner consists of sandwich and cheese hotdog, although some will go for crackers.
**The Dinosnores! package comes with one light dinner and one breakfast.

“Stop Motion: Dinosaurs Wipe-out!” is the first of three workshops for our Dinosnores! itinerary.
In a few easy steps, our Stop Motion movie is completed.
(1) set up props and background, (2) move the dinosaurs, (3)ipod snap, (4)Youtube.
This is the junior directors and producers’ first dinosaur premier. Introducing the producers from (SengkangBabies, CheekieMonkie and OurParentingWorld).
The whole project is manned by kids, from story-conception, scripts, special effects and editing !
Video : How do you like our joint production “Fire and Water Disaster!”? Daddy gave our effort 8/10!
Our kids normally sleep by 10pm, but Ben Stiller’s “Night at the Museum” got some surprise for the kids.
Everyone grab a beanbag, a few pieces of chocolate cookies and settle down for some museum thrills. It must be a pure coincidence that we are sleeping over in a Museum too.
Daddy hoped no one will be woken up by Trex nightmares!
Time to snore snooze, lights out at 12 midnight.
We got three layers of blankets to insulate against the cool 22 degrees. We recommend a pair of socks too.
** blankets and pillows are provided, we just need to bring our own yoga-mat or sleeping-bag to cushion the hard wooden floor
How often do you get to sleep under the watchful eyes of vicious predators and shadowy menacing teeth. Sweet dreams “Lessemsaurus” π
It was not long before Snores (humans not dinosaurs!) started rumbling around our Den.

We woke up to croissants and muffins, coffee and milo.
We have not gotten over our surreal dinosaur sleepover experience yet.
You can choose to go alfresco at the waterhole too, with yucky vermins for company π
#Workshop 2 – Puppet making, why do all the boys chose the lizard?
Cast the colourful lizards under the sunlight and see their colourful shadows come alive.
Boys will be boys, they need to determine who is the alpha male lizard.
#Workshop 3 – We became Dr Rich’s junior Paleontologists. Kids also learn how to distinguish between carnivores and herbivores.
Everyone wanted to volunteer to find the next fossil or footprint.
Did you notice a cute Trex in the toilet cubicle? This is just a cartoon for relief (pun unintended).

If you are looking for some unusual activity, or if you wish to engage the kids in dinosaurs knowledge, try ArtScience Museum’s DinoSnores! We promise you, the sleepover is anything but a snore π
The whole package shouts “experience”.
A first time sleepover for Boon Kang, a first for ArtScience Museum too.
To have the Museum exclusively to ourselves, it is an amazing experience.
If kids have a word to describe their “Dinosnores”, it would be Cool!
