Fun for the whole family: We know that kids can get bored easily, but R65 will make sure to keep them engaged and moving the whole time. The entire experience requires you to move and interact with the robot, so the kids will definitely be engaged.

Your journey through the Time Capsule

The whole experience is spread out over two levels and five zones. Level 1 tells the story of Singapore's past and Level 2 talks about the present and future of the nation. Take a look!

Island of Myths

It is like going back in time when you enter the Island of Myths at the Singapore Time Capsule. Suddenly, you find yourself in a 700 year old kampong (village). What makes this unique is that, unlike other museums, the experience at the Island of Myths is fully immersive, complete with mood lighting, tropical plants, and jungle sounds.

Location: Level 1

River of Time

The colourful, spinning graphics on the high walls and even the floor make this area Instagram-able. It is dedicated to the Singapore River, a symbol of Singapore's transformation from a fishing village to a world-class trading port. You will be able to read the stories written on the walls and watch them come to life as the landscape around you changes.

Location: Level 1

Kaleidoscope Walk

Singapore’s culinary scene is vibrant, and in this room, it comes together to tell you its history and significance. Look up at the ceiling to know about Singapore's delicious street food scene. This one-of-a-kind room features kaleidoscopes of local food and architecture that spin around in hypnotic, colourful patterns.

Location: Level 2

Infinity Space

Infinity Space is a musical and visual medley, and it is without a doubt one of the best aspects of the Singapore Time Capsule. Long mirrors and floor-to-ceiling displays make a truly immersive environment. You won't be able to take your eyes off the glittering pixels that dance around to shape mystical local landscapes during this three-minute display.

Location: Level 2

Teleportal

With golden gears and a huge digital screen in the centre of the room, this immersive zone has a steampunk vibe to it.
