As with any nation, the interests of those inclined towards history, technology and innovation will inevitably lead them towards the closest museum they can find. Here, they are free to roam and absorb all the information they need!
After close to six months of renovations, the Singapore Discovery is back, better than ever before. Now guests have the opportunity to reengage with the stunning exhibits that have been upgraded as well as the brand-new exhibits that have been installed.
The 'Through the Lens of Time' exhibit that was refurbished offers visitors an up-close and personal experience of augmented technology. This novel use of technology thrills visitors by immersing them entirely in the storytelling experience and leaving them utterly spellbound.
In addition to these exciting experiences, this exhibit also pulls and plays on visitors' senses as they are taken through Singapore's emotional and sometimes turbulent journey as a nation. With two of the four segments currently open, visitors can enjoy this experience with the aid of realistic sets, stunning animation use, and sound and video.
If you stay at a hotel in Farrer Park, such as the Park Hotel Farrer Park, you will only be a short drive away from this establishment!
The Black Lake Facility is the Escape Room that is housed with the Singapore Discovery Centre. As the largest multi-storey escape room in Singapore, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the various puzzles and themes available. A significant aspect of the Escape Room is that there are different themes for different age groups making for an exciting experience. With a spectrum of interconnected stories, the goal is to uncover the story behind the mysterious artefact hidden within the Black Lake Facility.
Additionally, if you are looking for a more straightforward piece of entertainment, be sure to try out the Black Lake Laser Battlefield, where you will be forced to test your mettle in laser combat. The gameplay scenarios include aliens, the apocalypse and cyborgs.
A pretty remarkable piece of technology, this theatre offers visitors the ability to experience 4D entertainment. With the combination of motion, special effects and sound, the theatre is designed to develop the holistic sensory experience that brings you into the movie.
When it comes to unique features, the Singapore Discovery Centre is always a surprise. This time, it is the collection of 2,325 solar panels used to provide half of the centre's electricity needs.
There is also a floating platform walking trail installed to allow closer inspection for those hoping to learn more about solar power.
For those seeking reprieve from the substantial doses of history, technology and immersion, there is no better place to rest and regroup than the Wild Thyme Café. So be sure to take your time and follow your own pace when visiting the Singapore Discovery Centre for the best experience.
