Traveler reviews
Yeo Chye Whatt Kenneth
★★★★★3 weeks agoA humbling, thought-provoking experience to recollect on the suffering and sacrifice of all who lived through that dark period in time. Brought my New Zealand friend and he was thoroughly impressed and touched. Worth the visit!

★★★★★3 months agoMay 2026 — I visited this historic site and was impressed by how thoughtfully it has been preserved and presented. The Singapore government has done a commendable job making the place engaging and informative, allowing visitors to better understand its past. One suggestion for improvement would be to include more video content, perhaps even short, movie-style reenactments. This would help visitors more vividly grasp what the POWs experienced and create a deeper, more immersive connection to the history.
