Singapore Discovery Centre is offering its visitors a wide variety of exciting things to see and plenty of activities. The center's prime objective is to tell the "story of Singapore" through state-of-the-art interactive devices and technological games, but the problem is that non-Singaporeans might not find it that interesting (as most of the activities here "speak to Singaporean in their own language..."). The centre occupies an area of 4,500 m² and its five halls feature eight different themes, all related to the city-state and its dwellers...
One of the center's most notable attractions is the Visionarium, features an incredibly big dome containing a 360 degrees video screen. 120 people enter the Visionarium each time and participate in a sort of a game where they can suggest ideas that will shape the face of Singapore's future, using push buttons and interactive devices.
At the end of the session, the final result is screened, showing how the city would have looked like if all those suggestions were accepted.
Families with kids can enjoy a decent range of activities... from Crossfire paintball to 3D cinema (iWERKS theater) and Shooting Gallery.
The centre is open Tuesday - Sunday, 9am - 6pm, closed on Mondays (unless a Monday falls on a public holiday) and it's really recommended to spend at least two hours here.
How to get there: From MRT-Boon Lay, take SBS bus Nos. 182 or 193
"Basic" admission fees are SG$ 10 for an adult and SG$ 6 for a child. If you want special additions (like 3D cinema or paintballs) you'll need to pay for it separately.
.
There is also an option for a 'family ticket' of 2 adults + 2 kids at SG$ 28, as well as all sorts of "combo tickets".
