Science Centre Singapore
Facts and practical information
Nestled in the heart of Singapore, the Science Centre Singapore is a bastion of knowledge and a playground for the curious. Since its opening in 1977, this dynamic institution has been dedicated to promoting interest, learning, and creativity in science and technology. It is not just a museum; it is a vibrant hub of exploration that has captured the imaginations of both young and old.
With over 1,000 interactive exhibits spread across 14 galleries, the Science Centre Singapore offers an engaging, hands-on experience that makes the complex world of science both understandable and enjoyable. From the mysteries of the cosmos in the Omni-Theatre, a space-themed dome equipped with a digital planetarium, to the fascinating realm of living organisms in the Ecogarden, visitors are invited to embark on a journey of discovery.
The centre is also home to the Snow City, Singapore's first permanent indoor snow centre, providing a chilly escape from the tropical heat and a unique educational environment to learn about cold-climate ecosystems. Another highlight is the Butterflies Up-Close exhibit, where one can step into a lush, butterfly-laden sanctuary and learn about the life cycle and biodiversity of these delicate insects.
The Science Centre Singapore continuously evolves, bringing in new and updated exhibits such as the recent addition of the Phobia2: The Science of Fear, which delves into the psychological and physiological aspects of fear through interactive and immersive experiences.
