In Johor, Malaysia, Heng Chiang Hwee has built Don Hu Jurassic Park, a tourist attraction filled with dinosaur replicas.
Jurassic Park has come to life after a man transformed his nursery into a fun destination where the famous dinosaurs can be found. The city of London has also built a park patterned after the famous Mesozoic-era fixtures as well.
In Johor, Malaysia, Heng Chiang Hwee built Don Hu Jurassic Park, a tourist attraction filled with dinosaur replicas. The 36-year-old has been collecting dinosaur figures for four years now, before he decided to open his nursery to the public.

Since he opened his Jurassic Park, Hwee has added eight more dinosaur replicas, expanding his collection to 42, including a 12.8-meter tall Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, and Stegosaurus.
"At first, I just did it for fun as my whole family, including my two children, loves these creatures and we placed them in my nursery," he said. "But after a while, people kept turning up to take photos."
The recent expansion is not the last as Hwee plans to make his collection of dinosaur replicas reach 100 pieces within the next three years to fill up his 5.6-hectare Jurassic Park.
"My children are excited to see the large dinosaurs that are fitted with sound-making devices and move like real ones," 33-year-old Nozralina Alias said.
Meanwhile, on Saturday the city of London opened a Jurassic Park-themed attraction inside the Osterley Park. Called the Jurassic Kingdom. The tourist destination features 35 life-sized motorized dinosaurs.
"These are the most lifelike dinosaurs you are likely to encounter since the Mesozoic era," paleontologist Dean Lomax said.
The featured beasts in the London version of Jurassic Park "snarl and roar" to whoever comes near them, making the experience of visitors even more realistic.
