Spread across 10,000 square metres, Exploria takes you through a multi-sensory adventure across 5 incredible worlds.
You’ll be navigating through high-altitude peaks, shrinking down to the size of a bee, or travelling back to the age of prehistoric giants (the ground really does shake!).
The highlight is The Giants Show, an 8-minute, 360-degree standing theatre that moves through 500 million years of Earth’s history. Spectacularly cinematic, we caught ourselves saying “woah” out loud numerous times during the show.
Exploria’s RFID wristband turns the whole visit into a personal adventure. Tap into interactive installations, play games, and collect badges as you move through each world.
A live scoreboard in the exit tunnel tracks how you did. And since your profile stays active for a full year, there's every reason to come back and top your score.
