Singapore Discovery Center | A Day Of Fun With My Family

Day out exploring Singapore Discovery Center

welovedayout was out exploring Singapore Discovery Center for the day. Located at Upper Jurong Road, far west end of Singapore, we decided to drive there. How to get there is pretty easy for non drivers too, there is a MRT station (Joo Koon) which is just 10 mins walk to the Discovery Center, or bus services from Boon Lay Interchange.

Entrance to the exhibits 

Singapore Discovery Center is an educational center that provides lots of information about Singapore history and the development of our Little Red Dot (Singapore). Although it is an educational center, there are still lots of fun activities for visitors to try. Currently, it is free entry for Singapore citizens and PRs. There are various admission packages offered for the tourists and foreign citizens too. Included in our ticket was the entry to the center's exhibits, a complimentary SAFTI bus tour to get a glimpse of our Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) officers' training academy and a special movie ticket. 

Fun Activities to do 

Big & small kids having fun at Battlefield Command Station

Inside the exhibits, there is the 'Battlefield Command', which allows friends or families to role play as a Leopard 2A4 Tank commander; an Apache helicopter pilot and a Frigate vessel commander. It showed us how the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) worked together in a battle scenario. This was no doubt one of the MUST go fun station.

Fun game at the Unity Pavilion corner

Head to 'Unity Pavilion' for a fun interactive and informational questions game on Singapore multi-cultural society. It was an enriching session answering questions about our Little Red Dot cultures. We were surprised by the answers given. Loud giggles from others could be heard as they were answering the questions.

Children having fun being a reporter

Continue to 'On Location Reporter' which was an engaging corner where we got to be a reporter for a day. Choose from 20 choices of news in 4 different languages. It was indeed insightful to learn some of Singapore's history first hand.

Students and adults having fun competition at Shooting Gallery

Shooting gallery was very popular for the young and adventurous. In here, you get to try out your shooting skills and have a fun competition with friends or families at a price of S$6 per game.

4D Simulator Ride and IWerks Theatre for movie goers

At Singapore Discovery Center there is also a 4D Simulator Ride and iWerks Theatre for the movie fans.

Families & friends enjoying pedal boating

Outside the center, there are fun engaging outdoor activities like the pedal boats or crossfire paintball for a small fee.

There are many more interesting activities to entertain our children at Singapore Discovery Center.  We hope you and your family will enjoy the center too.

Beside the Singapore Discovery Center, we have the Army Museum which we will be exploring on our next outing. Keep a lookout!
