Singapore Oceanarium tickets on sale ahead of July 24 public opening

Flip your fins over to the booking portal for the new Singapore Oceanarium to snap up the first wave of tickets, ahead of the grand opening on July 24.

The hotly anticipated mega aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa has offered marine enthusiasts the chance to be among the first to float through its 22 immersive zones by pre-purchasing their passes.

Admission starts at SGD49 ($59) for adults, SGD35 ($42) for children 4-12 and SGD39 ($47) for seniors over 60 and the centre will be open daily from 10am-7pm.

Singapore Oceanarium has taken over the former site of S.E.A. Aquarium and is three times larger than its predecessor, with a strong focus on advancing marine education, research and impactful conservation.

The underwater journey includes a trip back in time to encounter ancient ocean giants through animatronics, digital displays and live prehistoric habitats, an adventure through Singapore’s native mangroves and an otherworldly display of illuminated jellyfish.

A 36m-wide viewing panel ensures plenty of space to witness majestic reef manta rays and zebra sharks up close in the Open Ocean exhibit.

Singapore Oceanarium vice-president Lam Xue Ying says the opening signifies the site’s evolution into a purpose-driven institute years in the making.

“We are dedicated to inspiring a new generation of ocean stewards by taking ocean education and interactive storytelling to the next level, through naturalistic habitats and immersive technology,” Ying says.

“Supported by academic partnerships, international accreditations and memberships, as well as our new research and learning centre, we’re furthering our commitment to marine conservation, research and education.”
