An amazing experience at the Singapore Oceanarium! The space is incredibly spacious and well-designed, allowing visitors to explore comfortably without feeling crowded. The environment is calm and ambient — perfect for families and anyone who loves marine life. The order and flow of the exhibitions are well thought out, making the journey from one section to another smooth and engaging. The animals are well cared for and displayed in a way that’s both educational and enjoyable. If there’s one area to improve, I’d say the food options could be more diverse to match the overall excellent experience. Overall, a memorable visit that beautifully combines learning, relaxation, and awe. Highly recommended! 🌊🐠

The large exhibits with sharks give a glimpse of the ocean world. Gets you to see the creatures up close. Very unique creatures that I had not seen earlier. Well managed and clean.

The trip was truly enjoyable and undoubtedly a memorable experience. My family shared many happy and meaningful moments together. It was the first time my children had the opportunity to see dolphins up close and even touch them, which was incredibly special for them. I sincerely appreciate your support in helping us purchase tickets at a favorable price. However, there is one aspect of the experience that left me somewhat disappointed. We were not permitted to bring any devices to record videos or take photos as personal keepsakes. As a result, I had to pay a considerable amount for 90 photos. Unfortunately, the quality of the images did not meet my expectations. The compositions and angles were not particularly flattering, and I was not entirely satisfied with the final results. Had we received higher-quality souvenir photos, this trip would have been a truly perfect experience for my family.

If there’s one show in Singapore that truly captures the spirit of imagination, emotion, and spectacle, it’s The Wings of Time on Sentosa Island. This breathtaking outdoor night show is not just a performance—it’s an experience that lingers long after the final burst of fireworks fades into the sea breeze. Set against the open waters of Siloso Beach, the show seamlessly combines laser projections, water fountains, fire effects, music, and fireworks into a stunning visual symphony. The storyline follows a young boy and his mythical bird companion, Shahbaz, as they journey across time and space, encountering ancient civilizations, mystical creatures, and unforgettable adventures. It’s simple enough for children to follow, yet rich in symbolism and wonder for adults to appreciate. What makes The Wings of Time extraordinary is its perfect blend of technology and artistry. The water screens come alive with vivid colours, the pyrotechnics are impeccably timed, and the sound design surrounds you with an almost cinematic quality. Each sequence builds to a crescendo of light and emotion—eliciting gasps, smiles, and even a touch of awe from the audience. The seating, arranged along the beach, adds to the magic. As you sit under the stars with the ocean as your backdrop, there’s a certain serenity before the show begins. Then suddenly, the stage transforms—water jets soar into the air, lasers slice through mist, and the night sky ignites in brilliant hues. It’s the kind of sensory feast that makes even the most seasoned traveller feel like a child again. Families, couples, and solo travellers alike will find this show a must-see highlight of Sentosa. It lasts only about 20 minutes, but those 20 minutes are packed with beauty, excitement, and a deep sense of wonder. Tip: Arrive early to get a centre seat, and stay a few minutes after the show to enjoy the calm waves and reflect on what you’ve just witnessed.

Wings of Time's use of a combination of technology and storytelling featuring water displays, laser lights, fire effects, and a powerful soundtrack-all synchronized with a touching story about friendship and adventure across time was very impressive and entertaining.

We found the section on Singapore's history in Madame Tussauds very interesting. The little boat cruise was a pleasant surprise. It wasn't too crowded so walking around was easy. The placement of the VR experience seemed wrong as it was all quiet looking at the exhibits, then all of a sudden there was screaming from the VR participants, which was a little unnerving and ruined the atmosphere.
