Adventure enthusiasts, unite! Your Malaysian holiday just got a terrific upgrade with the inauguration of Asia’s largest dinosaur-themed park. A part of the Monkeys Canopy Resort, Dino Desert in Malaysia spans 11 acres and boasts 144 ginormous animatronic dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, the mighty Mamenchisaurus, and Triceratops. Moreover, the attractions are flanked by educational plaques to ensure that there’s something to learn at every step, for kids and adults alike.
Dino Desert opened its doors to the public on May 25, 2024.

The park’s key highlight emerges from its 144 life-size models mimicking their prehistoric counterparts. With their realistic movements, vocalisation, and meticulous build, these models promise to teleport you to the ancient era of dinosaurs. Without exaggeration, visiting this theme park will be akin to entering an action-packed Hollywood blockbuster on the subject.
Next, the park delights with a unique Aurora Night experience. Here, guests can witness a mesmeric atmosphere, and an aurora-like ambience while sauntering through the park’s premises. Since most of the Dino Desert requires outdoor explorations, we recommend visitors wear comfortable and breathable outfits, carry sunglasses, and stay hydrated.
Address: Lot 683, Jalan Persiaran Bukit Enggang Sg Long Hill, Sungai Long, 43200 Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia
Timings: 10 am to 10 pm
In addition to the Dino Desert, Monkeys Canopy Resort also houses the popular Conquer Indoor Park, equipped with enthralling activities like an Elevated High Rope Course and Ninja Warrior Course. Visitors can also indulge in the Escape Safari Playland, a delightful play area dotted with safari-inspired obstacles, slides, and climbing areas.
Key attractions in Malaysia
Malaysia welcomes the discerning tourist with a plethora of exciting activities. From visiting the Petronas Twin Towers and Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur to exploring Langkawi’s famed Langkawi Sky Bridge and Dataran Lang, there’s no dearth of tourist destinations in the country. We also recommend exploring the night markets of Malacca, visiting LEGOLAND Malaysia in Johor, and kicking back in the tropical landscape of Cameron Highlands.
