The Singapore Discovery Centre is a venue which showcases various aspects of Singapore's history as well as current and future technology. It claims to tell the Singapore Story.
Singapore Discovery Centre was officially opened by then-President Ong Teng Cheong on 23 November 1996. It was originally intended to showcase the history of the Singapore Armed Forces, and the $70 million for the original construction was approved by the Ministry of Defence.

1 Review for “Singapore Discovery Center ” - Arts & Entertainment

I went to the Singapore Discovery centre on the 23rd of November, which happens to be the day which they are hosting the 3DX festival.
First things first, the inner gallery. Interactive panels that feature a wide range of topics dot the whole gallery, with most even include a mini-game to engage hands-on activity. The sonar infomation panel depicts different types of sounds dectected by sonar waves and the types of sonar, and the mini-game completes the whole experience.
The crisis simulation theatre also features a realistic depiction of a bomb explosion at Raffles Place MRT station and the loud explosion, the "flaming" screen, the surround sound system which surrounds the theatre with frenzied screams made some of the viewers jump.
The 3DX theatre is lined with plush red seats and tickets for the 3D shows have to be reserved in advance right after the purchase of admission tickets. I watched the Sea Monsters and Mummies show and found them to be very engaging and found myself being teleported to a different age in that instant.
Overall, the "discovery" experience was very well generated with numerous updated exhibits and a great theatre.
