Singapore Discovery Centre
The Singapore Discovery Centre is really a place where creativity meets development, promising visitors an enriching as well as educational tour into Singapore's past.
Opened up in 1996, the 4, 500 sq m centre offers a variety of exhibits and activities for children and adults alike. The Visionarium, for instance, is the world's largest style studio that lets up to 120 individuals play the role of town planners, making choices that gradually turn Singapore into the current city it is today. The visitors even get to begin to see the impact of their choices unfolding before all of them on a 360-deg panoramic display.
Another exhibit lets visitors take on the task of an "on-location" broadcast journalist that has to report on events that occur during a simulated terror attack in a stop in Singapore.
Guided tours can be found for those who wish to find out more about the history that's briefly touched upon in the numerous exhibits.
The centre offers a variety of ticket categories. The least expensive adult and child ticket is actually about $10 and $6 respectively. Families can opt for packages which are tailored to their needs.
