This year, Macau’s Cotai Strip® – Studio City, The Venetian® Macao and MGM MACAU have respectively created dreamy play zones perfect for families, themed around DreamWorks cartoon stars, prehistoric dinosaurs, and underwater world exploration. Want to enjoy urban sightseeing and resort relaxation while making unforgettable summer memories with your children? Bring the whole family to experience a brand-new side of Macau this summer holiday!

Starting July 1, Studio City Macau launched the “Cotai Strip® – DreamWorks Experience.” Popular characters from DreamWorks animations will make special appearances, allowing visitors to interact closely with fan-favorites such as Po from Kung Fu Panda; Shrek, Princess Fiona, and Puss in Boots from Shrek; and Alex the Lion, King Julien, and the Penguins from Madagascar. These beloved DreamWorks characters will meet and greet guests face-to-face. A spectacular DreamWorks-themed parade will take place daily in the resort, along with character dining experiences, and hotel rooms offer DreamWorks-themed services and amenities to ensure fun for the whole family.

 

From July 1 to October 1, The Venetian® Macao Resort Hotel presents the “Dinosaurs Come Alive” interactive exhibition, where parents and children can grab their explorer gear and travel back 250 million years for an exciting adventure. The exhibition features over 30 hyper-realistic dinosaur models that breathe, move, and even roar. In addition to encountering these colossal prehistoric creatures, visitors can also watch 3D dinosaur movies or even ride on a dinosaur’s back. The “Dinosaurs Come Alive” exhibition runs daily from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM (last admission at 7:00 PM) during the exhibition period, located in Hall F of the Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo. Ticket prices are MOP 80 (approx. NT$300) for adults, MOP 50 (approx. NT$190) for children, and a family set ticket for MOP 232 (approx. NT$880, includes 4 tickets with at least one child under 12 years old required).

Since May, MGM MACAU has introduced the “Magical Light Journey,” designed with the ocean as its theme and featuring a central installation called the “Water Dome” in the Sky Pavillion. This cylindrical structure, embraced by coral, houses over a thousand swimming fish, blending ocean and sky into one. Key elements include a crimson coral palace, the cylindrical “Water Dome,” plus large seaweed, bubble ornaments, and schools of fish. Leveraging the uniqueness of the Sky Pavillion, it reinterprets the wonders of nature through light and shadow, presenting a fantastical underwater world. The “Water Dome” features species such as three small blacktip reef sharks from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and over a thousand fish including brownstripe red snapper, yellowback fusilier, and spadefish from the South China Sea. Children can enjoy watching diverse species of fish swimming freely in one place at the same time.
