WHAT’S
Titans of the Past
– Dinosaurs and Ice Age Mammals
HAPPENING
Travel back in time to an era when large prehistoric
dinosaurs roamed freely on earth, and mastodons
and sabre-toothed tigers stood
haunches to haunches with
woolly mammoths in Titans of the Past
– Dinosaurs and Ice Age Mammals, a new
exhibition in the Science Centre Singapore.
Featuring beautiful and valuable real fossils, stateof-the-art animatronics and our favourite part of the
entire showcase, the largest T-Rex skull ever found,
Titans of the Past is a majestic educational experience
for both you and your children.
This exhibition also features the extensive work
of Dr Jack Horner, one of the world’s leading
palaeontologists and consultant for the Jurassic Park
films, so you can be sure of the veracity of the amazing
information you’ll be consuming.

When: 25 October 2013 to 23 February 2014

Jack & The Bean-Sprout!
What’s a filial son to do when there
are bills to pay, the cupboard is bare
and the loan sharks are circling?
Why, sell the family’s beloved pet
cow, Ah Kow, of course. But, when
Jack only gets a handful of green
beans instead of cash for their pet,
disaster looms. That is, until a giant
taugeh springs up in Marina Bay!
Follow the adventures of Jack and
laugh out loud with your children
in what is touted to be the funniest
family show of the year. With
side-splitting gags, catchy songs,
snazzy dance routines, outrageous
costumes and more, Jack & The
Bean-Sprout! promises to catapult
you and your kids to Cloud Nine
(no need to climb the taugeh!) for
the holiday season and keep you
laughing well into 2014.
Jack & The Bean-Sprout! is written
by exciting young playwright Joel
Tan and directed by the one and only
Ivan Heng. So, if you can only watch
one theatre production this holiday
season, make it this one!
