Very cleverly done. You become absorbed in the music. This Attraction lasts for about 15 minutes. If you sit near the front on the steps,you may get wet!

Sentosa Boardwalk

Reviewed By Q2037NXadriant - Singapore, Singapore

Great way to enter Sentosa! This is, to be honest, most eco friendly and sensible way to get to Sentosa, the bridge is connected to Vivocity Shopping mall which is above Harbor Front MRT station thus making it more convenient to get to....Stroll at your convenience, stop along the way for good photo opportunities, there are covered places to get shade from the sun and vending machines along the way.

Fort Siloso Skywalk

Reviewed By JeffLeong - Singapore, Singapore

Alighting the bus shuttle at Siloso Point station, a short walk leads to the Skywalk entrance. With free admission, two lifts bring visitors up to the Skywalk which is about 11 storeys high. The Skywalk is not sheltered save for intermittent points where display panels describe the views in front. Despite the sunny and hot weather, we enjoyed the cool sea breeze as we took in the views. Panoramic views can be enjoyed of the harbourfront skyline on the mainland, cable car towers with moving cable cars, Siloso Beach and the ships anchored off the southern coast of Singapore. The elevated walkway leads to the Fort Siloso attractions.

Fort Siloso

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

Reviewed By maryyeo - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

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 looks like a lovely place to sit and relax. Many people were swimming in the water when we went in June. This is where the rope bridge connects to supposedly the most southern point of continental Asia. It was a very lovely place to visit.

Floating Bridge at Siloso Beach

Singapores first and only floating bridge. Enjoy a relaxing stroll with family and friends from Siloso Beach to a remote island of South East Asia's most Southern point of continental Asia. Enjoy views overlooking Indonesia, Asia's little piece of paradise!

Reviewed By Toowoombatourist - Toowoomba, Australia

An easy walk either along either the beach or the more shady footpath to the suspension bridge across to the southern most point of continental Asia. The climb to the top of the thi-level lookout is worth it...a pretty view across the harbour of the multitude of passing ships.

So there is this super safe rope/wood bridge on the beach which takes you to the southernmost point of Asia... It was a nice walk in evening. The bridge closes at 7 pm so please plan accordingly
