Singapore Science Centre School holiday activities aim to kids entertained and learn a thing or two along the way.
Our favourite two attractions are the butterflies and Snow City.
Fun Fair Maths
A temporary exhibit for the month of June. Through interaction and investigation, kids will explore the “fun” side of Maths.
Tie up your dogs “properly” :p
A maze which cannot turn left (this was tough!)
Odd shape bicycle wheels, yet can pedal? Marbles which defy gravity.
Amazing tiles, every piece looks different yet symmetric. They can all mix and match despite their odd shapes. There is a term for this, “Tessellate”. (Hint: aim the primate head under armpit)
Musical, Prime numbers exploration.
Funny mirror, who can resists the concave and convex portraits :p
There are more activities, we did not list everythig.
Ocean Buddies at KidsSTOP
Kid can personalise their own sea creatures and throw them into the huge digital “sea”!
Occulus was popular with the kids. Imagine a VR world, riding a roller coaster in your bedroom π
Kids engaged in some digital colouring and projection.
How can we miss J Slide π
Butterflies Up-Close
Butterfly enclosure is latest exhibit at Science Centre, take note a separate entrance fee applies.
Learn more about butterflies (and moths)
Witness caterpillar transform into chrysalis, ignore Daddy crazy stunt.
Butterflies galore, some 500 of them. We heard the lifespan is only two weeks!
Do checkout the impressive migration of the Monarch butterflies.
Snow city
We can do with some cool temperate, snow and igloo most welcome.
If you need more excuse, how about sliding down the 60m snow slope in a rubber float? (video below)

I loved going to the Science Centre since I was a kid. But it does get boring after a while with all the same exhibits. It’s good to hear that they are creating new short term exhibits to cater to kids especially during the school holidays! I love the Math ones that you showed. I like it that not all activities are Math, but some are IQ as well and require you to think “out of the box”, like the maze one. I would like to try it myself! π

As a child, I did not really appreciate the SC. But I am now relishing all the exhibitions with my kids π
We were there last weekend but didn’t get to re-explore the Snow City and we missed the new exhibits too. Thanks for the virtual tour!
Most welcome Cherry, we are happy that SC keep reinventing itself to make Science relevant and interesting.
I would love to bring the kids to try the activities in Snow City and Fun Fair Maths. Personally I have slight phobia of butterflies so would give it a miss π
Buddy can try KidsSTOP now but hope he will fin SC fun and interesting soon π
Looks awesome. As a techy person myself I think there will significant benefit for people who start understanding these concepts early!
Concepts might be too early, but we can definitely cultivate the interest and curiosity first π
We were at the Science Centre last weekend for the first time. I must say I was impressed by the amount of activities the little ones can do there, plus it’s also very educational for the young and old. We would definitely go again!

Yes Michelle, precisely. SC is designed for the whole family.
There is always something new for me too, I was challenged at the Maths as I sucks at quizzes :p
Haven’t gone to the science centre this year yet! Looks really fun. Hope I still have time to go before the holidays are over.
It looked so fun! Will try to bring the kids there before school reopens!
