Overview

Science Centre Singapore serves as a major hub for STEM education featuring over 1,000 interactive exhibits across 14 galleries. It houses the Omni-Theatre, Singapore’s only dome theatre equipped with an 8K resolution digital planetarium system. The centre includes the Ecogarden, an outdoor space showcasing various plant species and ecological zones. The Snow City facility, located adjacent to the main building, offers a sub-zero indoor environment with an ice playground. The venue features the Fire Tornado demonstration, an indoor spectacle that simulates a controlled vortex of fire. It provides diverse specialized workshops for students and interactive programs for public visitors. The centre functions as a primary resource for school field trips and family-oriented science engagement. The facility is currently operating, though it is preparing for a transition to a new location in the Jurong Lake District, slated for completion around 2027.
