The world-acclaimed Singapore Science Centre
has one of the country's largest collections of educational
exhibits devoted to science. It houses more than 850 interactive
exhibits, depicting the wonder and beauty of science.
After a SGD 38 million revamp
exercise, new facilities have been developed at the Science
Centre. These include a new main entrance, a fully covered
linkway joining the Science Centre and the Omni -Theatre,
a Kinetic Garden, and an Annex Building.
Blending the sciences with
the art, the Kinetic Garden is Asia's first outdoor interactive
garden of science. It comprises 35 interactive sculptures,
exhibits and displays set within a pleasant garden environment.
Water features in the form of waterfalls, ponds, fountains
and water misters provide the entire Garden with a cooling
environment for you to enjoy the exhibits.
Apart from the main exhibition
galleries, the Omni-Theatre is also one of the central
attractions of the Centre. The 5-storey high and 23 metre
diameter hemispheric giant screen and sophisticated sound
systems promise audiences a thrilling cinematic experience.
The Omni-Theatre also houses
an 18-seat Virtual Voyages Simulation Theatre which allows
viewers to experience science phenomena visually and physically
by means of a 15-minute adventure story.
