ONE Ocean: Every Action Ripples
World-premiere immersive exhibition built on 20 years of Tara Ocean Foundation research, with 360-degree ocean projections, free-roaming VR and ten walk-through zones.
More in Singapore
Turn a wheel and a single drop of water sets off around the Global Conveyor Belt, the current that takes nearly a thousand years to carry it round the planet. That is the scale this show works at, built on 20 years of Tara Ocean Foundation expeditions.
You walk in past sea life projected on towering semicircular curtains, then through ten zones in the Annexe Halls: a 360° projection where a baleen whale swims overhead, a sound room for mixing whale song with Arctic ice, a colossal Kraken over the myths zone. TheSmartLocal called it a fun time for young ones that also teaches real marine conservation.
It is in English, indoors, and recommended from age 5. The museum says 60 to 100 minutes, and there is no re-entry once you leave. Standard adult tickets are S$24 (S$15 to S$18 for Singaporeans and PRs), and the free-roaming VR is S$10 extra.
Editor's pick
Turn a wheel and a drop of water sets off on a current that takes nearly a thousand years to circle the planet. Built on 20 years of Tara Ocean expeditions, and pitched at children from five.
Look for
The drop-of-water wheel
In Ocean Currents, turning a wheel turns a static world map into a narrated animation of the Global Conveyor Belt.
The baleen whale overhead
In 7 Wonders of the Ocean, a 360° projection, currents sweep over your head as a baleen whale swims past.
The Kraken
Look up in Stories of the Ocean: a colossal Kraken hangs its tentacles from the ceiling while shadow puppets act out sea myths on the walls.
The soundscape room
In an acoustically isolated space you mix snapping sails and gales with whale song and Arctic ice recorded by underwater microphones aboard the Tara.
The live coral tank
Tides of the Red Dot has a tank of live coral and starfish, beside specimens from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum.
Good for
- Rainy Days
- Small Kids
- Teenagers
About 90 min
Skip if
You want live sea creatures: apart from one coral tank, it is projections, screens and VR.
With kids
Recommended from age 5, with a colouring station where kids' sea creatures appear on 3-metre screens. The VR is for 9 and up (9 to 12s with an adult); bring a baby carrier, as strollers aren't recommended.
