Indoor Attractions and Activities

Exploria at Mandai Wildlife Reserve

Southeast Asia's largest indoor nature attraction just raised the bar for what "immersive" actually means.

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.

Enjoy a rare behind-the-scenes experience at Singapore Oceanarium with its new guided programme, Animal Spotlight: Seahorses.

Led by the oceanarium’s animal care specialists, you’ll explore selected habitats before stepping into the Seahorse Support Area, a space normally off-limits to visitors. Participants will observe live feeding sessions and see firsthand how these fascinating  creatures are cared for day to day. 

Along the way,  you’ll also discover surprising facts about seahorses, like how male seahorses carry the babies, or how they hunt using a technique that’s oddly stealthy for something so small. There’s a bigger picture too. The programme touches on why seahorses matter to coastal ecosystems and what’s being done to protect them in the wild. 

Ages: 4 and up

Time: 2pm

Where: Singapore Oceanarium, Resorts World Sentosa

Price: $28 per participant

Book Experience

David Hockney: Bigger and Closer

Step into a larger-than-life art experience with David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (Not Smaller & Further Away), an immersive visual show that puts you right inside the creative mind of one of the most influential artists of our time.

Brought to Singapore in collaboration with Lightroom London, this immersive experience explores how Hockney has spent decades challenging the way people see the world, across painting, photography, drawing, and digital media.

Large-scale projections, layered sound, and dynamic spatial design guide you through his creative process, from early experiments with perspective, to his fearless embrace of colour and new technologies.

The projections are so enveloping that at times we felt like we were standing right beside Hockney, and at others, like we've stepped straight into one of his paintings.

The focus is on how Hockney sees and how scale, proximity, and attention can turn a garden, a road, or a quiet afternoon into something you can't look away from.

Playful and contemplative in equal measure, the show asks you to do something surprisingly simple: slow down, look closer, and remember what it feels like to really notice things.

Date: Till 30 June 2026

Time: 9am-9pm

Where: IMBA Theatre, Gardens by the Bay (West Lawn, beside Bayfront Plaza)

Admission: From $22 for child/Senior and $32 for adult

You'll trace the evolution of "Boterismo", Botero's unmistakable style of bold, rounded forms and rich colour. From early sketches and watercolours all the way through to his fully realised masterpieces, it's a rare chance to see how one of the most recognisable artistic voices of the 20th century took shape, piece by piece.

Date: 13 Feb-Till 18 May 2026

Time: 9am-9pm

Where: IMBA Theatre (West Lawn, beside Bayfront Plaza)

The ice transforms into a celestial stage as Disney On Ice: Magic in the Stars returns to Singapore, bringing together a record-breaking cast of characters for a journey through the night sky.

As the lights dim, you are transported from the mountains of Arendelle to the vibrant casita of the Madrigals. This production introduces several firsts to the rink, including the debut of Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon and the first-ever ice appearances of Elsa and Anna in their Frozen 2 attire.

World-class figure skating meets thrilling aerial acrobatics, stunning visual effects, and colourful costumes and stage sets in a spectacle designed to leave kids (and let’s be honest, adults too) completely mesmerised.

Whether your little one has a favorite character or just loves a good show, this is Disney storytelling brought to life on ice!
