Science Centre Singapore

The basics

For more than 35 years, the Science Centre Singapore has been promoting scientific learning through exploration and experience. A basic admission ticket grants access to most of the museum's interactive exhibits, including the popular Fire Tornado Show, Professor Crackitt’s Light Fantastic Mirror Maze, Typhoon Chamber, Earthquake Simulator, and the Tesla Coil Show. Other onsite attractions, like Butterflies Up-Close, Snow City, Omni-Theatre, and KidsSTOP require an additional admission fee.

Things to know before you go

• Outside food and beverages are not permitted inside the museum.
• Bring a photo ID when you go to pick up tickets purchased online.
• The museum is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible, and wheelchairs are available to borrow from the ticket office.

How to get there

Science Centre Singapore is in the Jurong East district, north of the Ayer Rajah Expressway. Buses #66, #178, #198, and #335 stop just outside the museum, and more than a dozen other lines stop nearby. You can also take the MRT to Jurong East Station, about 8 minutes on foot from the museum entrance.

When to get there

Science Centre Singapore is typically open daily throughout the year, though it’s advisable to check the opening hours before visiting. Please note that the facility sometimes closes for maintenance on Mondays. Plan to visit on a weekday first thing in the morning or during the late afternoon hours to enjoy the exhibits when the museum is at its quietest.
