Highlights of Dinosaurs Alive! includes the lizard-like Stegosaurus, the meat eating Tyrannosaurus Rex, the three horned Triceratops, the flying Pteranodon and the beloved long-neck Apatosaurus. The dinosaurs have interactive consoles which allow guests to guide dinosaur movement so they can see how scientists believe each dinosaur moved its arms, tail, mouth and eyes.

And Ilonggos should be proud that one of the newest malls in Iloilo City has actually a chapel located in a prime spot and one that boasts both beauty and serenity.
