Discovery Centre Reviews

extremely quiet! great place to go if you're bored, and have time to spare. I'd recommend watching a movie there as the popcorn and tickets are pretty cheap. However, the shows and games in the museum itself are lacking, to say the least. many of the games and shows look and are extremely outdated. all of the action cut scenes looked like they were made from a group of secondary school students running around their hdb block with a camera. don't get me wrong, when you go inside the place. initially it looks very futuristic and cool. After trying out the games though (aside from the 4 planets one) you realise most of them are either lacking in creativity( the MANY boring quiz games available) or simply seem outdated, in terms of technology ( that horrible game with the paddle controller). Additionally, I'd recommend you skip the bus tour cause you'd see the exact same things if you were to drive around pasir ris park in your aunties car while she explains things like 'this is a field where people play soccer' and 'that is a library where people study AND read'. All in all, fun place to go if you prefer going to places less explored in singapore.

Good Preview on history parts of educational progress n leisure for all.

I like to visit this place be'cos it bring some feeling of National Education on Total Defence ; etc. Beside that the Ground support of the Senior Guest Associates is very professional & service oriented. Thank --you.

Good excellent very nice place. I will go back here

First trip there very good experience and about Singapore, and army experience too

Yearly membership allow u to watch free movies throughout the year.

A fun-filled place good for family time and is also an educational place to learn about Singapore's history and upkeep

Fun and interesting place for the kids! They get to learn, play and watch movies all under 1 roof! We love the SO Singapore video clips so much! It's a fun-filled day for the kids!

Had a great time here with my family. Free entry for Singaporeans and permanent residents. Educational and informative exhibits. Interactive too. Set aside at leaat 2 hours here. Exhibit on Singapore in celebration of National Day 2018 is great! U can do a quiz and get a chance to win fun packs. Paintball activity is no longer available. IWerks theatre offers local films and current blockbusters. Discounted tickets for citizens and PRs. Only 1 theatre so limited showtimes. U can also join a bus tour of SAFTI which is just nearby.

The staff are very friendly and are really passionate about ensuring your experience is an awesome one!

On a public holiday when they could be spending time with their families to watch the Nat'l Day Parade, nonetheless.

Free carpark entry for visitors. The alfresco eating area is a nice retreat for lunch.

Pleasantly surprised that there's a cinema here. The staff here were very friendly. Don't bother with the 4D simulation, it is not worth S$10. Try to go during weekday for the SAFTI bus tour as you will be able to see army training in action.

A huge exhibition showing the history and elements of the Singapore society. A display for national unity and pride.

A place to discover Singaporean practices.Spacious and kid friendly.

Exhibits have not been changed since almost 10 years ago

A place to discover and learn about National police cadet corps history & also singapore history . There is also fun activities for kids to be engage while learning !

The exihibits are engaging sure but a membership here grants you free movies at the large iwerks theatre, some are blockbusters!

Interesting venue for children to explore, mini theatre for short film screening

Providing knowledge about the history of Singapore, customs, tourist attractions and others

A good place for the family with growing children to spend time, and learn about Singapore.

Interesting exhibition with loads of fun activities

Really quiet... great for weekday lunch... no q no human crowd.

Nice to be brought around the exhibits and learn more about the country

Is a really good source of learning and research.Suitable for bringing children to study.

Not much of an activities for kids. But the SAFTI Bus tour was interesting..

Nice place to bring kids to learn about national defence!

Fascinating. Important preservation of our history.

not much to see but it's good for an afternoon walk

Singapore Discovery Centre made me discovered that the Singapore government is very rich. The air conditioning is on at full blast even though the huge 5000 sqm premises are empty of people on a weekend.
The exhibits and visual displays are dated but well maintained, and the whole area is generally clean.
The whole place is devoid of visitors but it was kept running anyway with a full staff strength. Good for a nice but lonely visit to discover how rich Singapore is, and you can end the trip in the outdoor cafeteria, which provides an excellent view of a man-made lake...
Situated at a desolate location where even birds choose not to lay eggs.

Good for family outing especially our young kids in understand more about our country. Free admission for Singapore Citizen and Singapore PR.

No people pick up the phone call. I tried for at least 15 minutes with at least 8 calls.

Good place for family to spend time here. While enjoying the facilities available, they can learn many new things! The place is not crowded and this means the place is quiet and peaceful. Come here if you want to avoid the crowd.

Great place to explore and learn more about our hometown history.

Lovely place to experience science phenomenon in simple matters. Optical illusions or just how molecules interact is shown. Bring kids here to grow their interest in science and engineering

An excellent museum that walks you through the history of Singapore. Definitely recommend.

Good activities for children to learn about Singapore

A meaningful yet lighthearted experience that would not only deepen your understanding of Singapore's short yet rich history, but allow you to have fun doing it.

Amazing place to go to if you are a west sider if not it is just too far and out of the way to travel to. Has many activites you can do there. A great place for event planning.

Had been here 3 time. Very informative and well maintain.

Lots activities for kids to learn more about Singapore's history.

Nice `museum'!
I like the army museum !
went there for learning journey

the tremorator is lame though
not even shaky
if you take the MRT more shaky LOL

Can fully understand the military knowledge of Singapore

A great place to bring children. Can catch a movie at this place too.

This place has interesting data of Singapore. Like the longest road here . Overall a nice cosy and inexpensive place .
