Jurassic Nest Singapore – 18 Daily Programmed Shows
Jurassic Nest Food Hall comes alive with three hyper-realistic animatronic life-sized dinosaurs 18 times a day across two segments. Inside Jurassic Nest where a 3-metre-high waterfall shelters a T. rex and Brachiosaurus, the two fiercest and tallest dinosaurs come alive to nine shows per day, roaring into life to original soundtracks for approximately three minutes each time. Catch the show with free admission every hour from 12pm to 8pm.
In the outdoor alfresco area of JN Café, the stealthy Oviraptor hides in the shadow of another waterfall and comes alive nine times a day at hourly intervals from 11.30am to 7.30pm.
In between, catch 15 other static dinosaurs from the Velociraptor and Dilong Paradoxus to the Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus, scattered across the food hall while you dine on your favourite foods. There are also adorable dinosaur merchandises sold too!
Jurassic Nest Singapore – 4 Michelin-rated Eats To Fill Your Hungry Tummies
Amidst the magnificent creatures, seven brands await to dish up delectable Asian cuisine with prices starting from as low as $8.80. Four of them are proudly Michelin-affiliated, making Jurassic Nest the first food hall to have over 50% Michelin-rated food brands.

Bismillah Briyani is a heritage restaurant serving the world’s only Michelin-awarded briyani. Its chicken dum briyani is a 6-time winner of the Michelin Bib Gourmand award, so you know what to order!
Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang is not just any nasi lemak. The Muslim-owned nasi lemak brand has been featured on the Michelin Guide as one to watch in 2021 and 2022 for its crispy, crunchy fried chicken that bites into juicy tenderness to go with the most fragrant coconut milk rice.
Took Lae Dee brings authentic Thai flavours as a restaurant chain that has been around since 1972, served through dishes that are prepared a la minute for freshness and quality. Its Chicken Pad Krapow and Tom Yum are comparable to the original ones you’ll find in Thailand.
JN Cafe is Singapore’s happiest family café, serving up a menu catered to the young and young and heart with café favourites including salads, pasta, and sandwiches balanced off with treats like waffles, ice cream and desserts. Miss not its signature dish of Chicken Avocado Croffle.
Ma Ma by Putien Group is a unique upcoming concept by the Putien Group so expect the same reverence to quality and enticing authentic flavours that the group has come to be known for.
