"Our 23-month-old toddler enjoyed her time thoroughly. We covered both levels in under two hours. The museum's cleanliness is worth mentioning - especially the toilets. Staff were very polite and approachable. Would recommend other parents to come."

β€œWe 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.”

β€œLove 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.”
