    Came here for Safra family day event. Realised that the area is big and had many interesting galleries, laser tag and theatre etc. Planning to come again for a full day visit to go through Sg history. Had 2 rounds of free laser tag. Kudos to the good service by the staff!

    Had a pleasant laser tag experience at the Singapore Discovery Centre. The staff Jenise, Davlin, and Alif were super friendly, patient, and guided us in detail. They also helped to take many photos for us. There were also many fun and educational activities, including a free SAFTI bus tour, scam awareness games and defence simulation games involving tanks, the Air Force and Navy, very meaningful for the younger generation to better understand Singapore’s defence in an engaging way. Highly recommended for families and kids.
