Spirit of Exploration
Curiosity has always pushed the boundaries of the known world, leading to discoveries that shaped the world as we know it today.
At the heart of the Spirit of Exploration zone lies the Jewel of Muscat, a remarkable reconstruction of a 9th-century Omani dhow, a vessel that once navigated the vast Indian Ocean. Above it, the Pier Adventure’s suspended web offers a daring new perspective, inviting visitors to step beyond solid ground and unlock a whole new perspective of the zone. Nearby, the Explorer’s Nook café provides a moment of respite, with marine themed pastries, and curated lifestyle products.
Step into the footsteps of explorers past and present, and leave with a renewed sense of wonder, because every great journey begins with the spirit of exploration.
Singapore’s Coast
Discover a hidden world where land and sea intertwine in a delicate balance. Step into Singapore's Coast and be transported to its mangrove shores – where resilient marine life have not only adapted to thrive in ever-changing waters, but are also a crucial part of the local mangrove ecosystem.
Encounter local species like the Archerfish and Barred Mudskipper in live habitats, each a testament to nature’s ingenuity. Watch as other coastal animals come to life through projection mapping, scuttling across rockwork in a mesmerising display of movement and light.
Here, experience Singapore’s biodiversity up close at discovery pools, where the brush of a Knobbly Sea Star or the ripple of a Spotted Seahorse offers an intimate connection to marine life. The journey deepens with exclusive insights from research partners, unveiling findings on how these coastal inhabitants continually adapt to Singapore’s evolving environment.
