1. Fort Siloso

This historic fort was part of Singapore's defenses for decades.

Fort Siloso was where we had to do compulsory history trips when we were younger. It wasn't much back then, but they had totally revamped the place and I'm genuinely impressed with the newly curated museum spread out throughout this coastal fort. Key highlights: - It's absolutely free for this amazing attraction! And not many people here because there's quite a bit of walking. The true history buffs will love this place. - Sky walk is a new way to enter Fort Siloso, kinda cool walking above the lush greenery facing the Habourfront bay and also over a part of Shangri La hotel. - The museums ain't just contained in one building, but rather in several buildings throughout the hilly fort. Every building is like a mini, air-conditioned museum. - Love the interactive features such as Scott the AR tour guide (Augmented Reality App) you can download on your phone, and have 3D maps and soldiers pop up and reenact a historical scene, right there on your phone's screen! - The bunkers are now fitted with motion-activated sound system. Once you enter the bunker opposite Fort Siloso Square, the siren immediately goes off and sounds of machine guns and urgent voices came onto the PA system. We found that pretty cool but our young kiddos were super scared. - The exhibits were all gold, but some of my favourites were the video interviews with real citizens who went through the war, the sketches drawn by the POW (Prisoners of War) depicting the scenes during the war, and the stories of the heroes of the war and their self-sacrificial efforts. The clear historical explanations on the boards at every significant point of the way helped lots too. Warning: LOTS of walking under the hot sun. The respites were when we entered each air-conditioned building/museum to cool down. There are several routes on this hilly coastal fort, some are harder than others. Good to have a good look at the 3D model at the beginning to decide which route is most suitable for you.

This outdoor conservatory boasts more than 50 different species of butterflies, from the rare and endangered to the more common varieties. Observe butterflies as they delicately emerge from their cocoons; have a chat with talkative macaws; or even spot a free-spirited Indian star tortoise moving between tanning spots.
Reviewed By robertianl - Ellenbrook, Australia
I usually visit Singapore once a year, it's a great destination, it's clean, safe & the people are helpful & friendly towards travellers. The Butterfly Park is one of my "must do" spots to spend a couple of hours with my camera, just capturing images of the beautiful butterflies. There are also some very interesting & educational insect exhibits, ideal to capture the imagination of children. They even have a hatching area for butterflies where children & adults alike can see the butterflies unfurling their wings & making their way into the world.
