Singapore Discovery Centre

If you are running out of ideas as to what to do with the family, why not take them to the Singapore Discovery Centre, which underwent a revamp in 2020 and now features a slew of new experiences. 

From escape rooms, movie screenings, laser tag and brand new activities, there are lots to explore. One of the latest additions to the permanent exhibit gallery is the Sandbox, which invites guests to journey through immersive exhibitions to imagine the country’s future. 

A highlight is the Black Lake Facility, a multi-sensorial escape room adventure across 13 rooms and 4 story chapters. Visitors can role-play as special agents investigating the fate of soldiers sent on a top-secret military mission, crawling through tight spaces, finding concealed doors and piecing together clues to solve puzzles. The charges are $30 for those aged 13 and older, and $24 for children aged three to 12. Each experience is estimated to take about an hour. 

Don't let the fun stop there. Grab your team and head on to the laser tag arena, which uses the Helios2 laser tag system and features three exciting gameplay themes – cyborg, extraterrestrial and post-apocalyptic. 

Don’t miss the boardwalk on the lake, where you can see up close some of the more than 2,300 newly installed solar panels, which will help supply nearly half of the centre's annual electricity consumption. 

Due to limited availability, it is recommended to make prior bookings online for facilities that require entry tickets, such as the escape and laser tag rooms, as well as the gallery.
