Science Centre Singapore - by Ashley Hughes on Google
Description
The Science Centre Singapore is a science museum with over 1000 exhibits across 14 galleries complemented by daily shows and some activities. Its objective is to promote interest, learning and creativity in science and technology. The complex is located in Jurong East and was enlarged over time to include an observatory and an Omnimax theatre
Access & Transport
The address is 15 Science Centre Rd The closest MRT is Jurong East (NS line), 10-15mins walk away (900m) or a short bus ride (#66/335) There are also several bus services on Jurong Town Hall Rd and Jurong East Central. By car, Jurong Town Hall is just off the PIE (exit 31) and the AYE (exit 13). There is parking onsite See details here: https://www.science.edu.sg/visit-us/getting-here
Instructions & Recommendations
This activity can be combined with Snow City which is in the next building or the Jurong Lake Gardens complex that has an entrance within walking distance.
Environmental & Social
No data on energy consumption but the biggest requirement is for cooling and lighting. The museum has school and outreach programs and generally helps spread culture and interest in sciences
Conclusion
The Science Museum is a good educational activity for Singapore residents, but it doesn't quite have the calibre and state of the art exhibits to warrant a trek across town for foreign tourists with limited time in the country.
Key positive
Fun and interesting interactive exhibits for kids
Key negative
No major highlight worth a visit by itself
Many exhibits feel a little behind the times
Suitability
Suitable for all ages but children might actually get more out of it than adults. The museum is accessible for people with limited mobility.
