Better World Better Future, level 1A contemporary riverside landmark
Hatch Dome is the oval, egg-inspired structure on the riverside side of Asiatique’s Jurassic World and exhibition-building project. Architects 49 describes its form as a dinosaur egg: a patterned shell of hexagonal modules mixes solid and translucent elements, with white panels and warm wood tones. The contrast between the shell, the riverside setting and the neighbouring exhibition building gives the dome its own architectural identity.
The designer calls its interior the Egg Yolk Zone, accommodating immersive exhibition, sustainability learning and retail uses. Outside, the design includes Fossil Park and stepped seating pods beside the Chao Phraya River. The dome is the physical building; the neighbouring Jurassic World experience, restaurants and individually ticketed programmes retain their own identities and conditions.

A shell with changing light
The hexagonal pattern combines opaque and light-transmitting modules. The architect describes the resulting play of light and shadow as part of the building’s design, with white shell-like surfaces set against wood tones.
ExploreA setting shared with other uses
Fossil Park, stepped seating pods and a second-floor commercial deck sit around the dome and connect with the main exhibition building. The commercial deck connects with the main exhibition building, so the dome can be viewed in relation to the surrounding architecture.

Better World Better Future
AWC’s 30 April 2026 launch identifies this sustainability-learning experience at Hatch Dome, level 1. It describes eight interactive zones, immersive digital displays and a multisensory cinema. The launch advertised THB 199 admission; check the current dated ticket selection for the price and inclusions you intend to buy.
ExploreUse the current booking window
The linked Globaltix product currently lists daily 11:00–19:30, while the April launch announcement gives an 11:00–21:00 experience window. Confirm your selected session and check in within 30 minutes of its time. These are experience-booking conditions, not a verified opening timetable for every space in the dome.
ExploreRead participation and payment conditions
The booking page requires visitors under 18 to be accompanied by a responsible paying adult and says payment is cashless. It also restricts some exhibition areas for pregnant visitors and guests with back, neck or heart conditions; discuss participation with the provider before paying if relevant.
ExploreA time slot still involves a queue
The ticket page describes an approximately 15–20-minute experience, limited capacity and entry by queue order within the chosen slot. Tickets are non-refundable, and on-site tickets cannot be rescheduled or changed. Do not assume the booking reserves unrestricted access to the entire dome or adjacent attractions.
