Science Centre Singapore, Science museum in Jurong East, Singapore
Science Centre Singapore is a museum in Jurong East with eight exhibition galleries featuring over 850 hands-on exhibits across different scientific fields and technological innovations. The space includes interactive displays, models, and installations designed for visitors to explore and experiment with.
The centre was founded in 1977 after approval from the Science Council of Singapore. It grew out of the need to separate scientific collections from the National Museum and establish an independent space for them.
The centre works with local and international institutions to present exhibitions that connect scientific ideas with everyday questions and current developments. Visitors experience how research and technology relate to their own lives and communities.
The best time to visit is early in the day when crowds are smaller and you can spend time at your own pace exploring the exhibits. The centre offers family-friendly areas designed for hands-on activities and learning through play.
The centre's observatory sits on the equator, allowing visitors to observe constellations from both the northern and southern skies. This is a rare advantage that few places in the world can offer.
