Children's Museum Singapore

We recently visited this museum for some exploration and playtime with the kids. It offers a good mix of interactive play areas and exhibits that introduce the history of Singapore in an engaging way. We’ve been visiting yearly for the past three years, and this time there were noticeably more visitors than before. The museum isn’t very large, so it felt a little cramped—possibly due to it being a public holiday. It’s advisable to purchase your tickets beforehand. Admission is free for locals and PRs, and there is a designated pram parking zone, which is very convenient for families with young children. Overall, it’s still a pleasant place for toddlers to enjoy interactive play and for older kids to learn about Singapore’s history in a fun and hands-on way.

Love the museum so much! My kid enjoyed it too, though would love to have more time there. Each slot is around 1 hr 45 min. She learnt all about Singapore’s history and the things we used to have in the past. Museum is very well maintained and spacious for exploration.

This is our second time here. Used to be Singapore Philatelic Museum so probably that's why there are still some props and information on stamps. Which I pretty like because soon Singapore kids will no longer know how stamps with interesting designs looks like. The ground floor stays pretty much the same, but the second floor setup seems to refresh periodically. Play + Make is nice corner for older kids who have better control to make crafts themselves. The staff is very friendly and helpful (in fact, I think all the staff in the museum are very pleasant, thanks for contributing to the positive experience!). There is also a corner which is reserved for young kids up to 4 years old. Unfortunately the building is a bit small but so far it managed to keep my 10yo well entertained for 1hr+. Make reservations in advanced to ensure you can enter the museum at preferred slot. But when I tried to cancel the booking the site is not working, hope they enhance the app to make it better.

It's free for Singaporeans! This place is cool and fun for the kids. Adults gotta bring at least one kid to get in. They'll learn about how Singaporeans used to live back then. So many good memories, for sure. 👍🤩

Good for your kids below 14 years to experience and explore on Singapore history before 1970. There is a tour for kids to watch several events with announcement made over the Public Address system before the event commenced.

something to learn for everyone. there are over 165 hawker centers in singapore as an example. the place got pretty crowded on a school holiday. the show on the ground floor was disappointing - story telling and sound quality… need some help from Disney Imagineers!!! i think there is potential to make this place even better

We had such an amazing time at the Children’s Museum Singapore with our friends’ kids! All the activities were incredibly fun and super engaging, the little ones were fully occupied from the moment we walked in. I honestly wished we could’ve stayed longer because the 2-hour slot just wasn’t enough for them to explore everything. The museum is so thoughtfully designed, and you can really see how much effort goes into making the experience enjoyable and meaningful for children. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and enriching day out!

I visited on Friday 22August 2025 for the 11am slot. Extremely impressed by the amazing detailed work & every activities are so engaging. My 4yo & I enjoyed all the activities there. I can name so many displays that “wow” me! I love that they are running strictly on time slot basis so everyone can enjoy the place without being overly crowded. I can tell there was a lot of effort put into maintaining this space. I really hope people don’t take it for granted. I can’t wait to visit again!!! I wanted to take this review to specially thank so many of the staff here! There was this lady stationed at the enclosed play area (where they can play pretend to sell Yong tau foo 🤣😂) on level 2. We skipped it for the moment as there was a crowd inside. While we were going around, she came specially to inform us that the space is available now. I was honestly very appreciative for her attentiveness to each of the guest. I apologize & I wished I stopped to ask for your name. I remember Peng Yeow! He was extremely helpful during my visit. Directing & walking us in the sun to their outdoor space when my kid needed a snack break. Oh yes & he shared with us on how to use the stamp colouring/scanning station & watch it comes to live on the screen! Thank you children’s museum Singapore for such a lovely experience! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
