What You Can Expect

Discover Singapore Through Ant Eyes

Witness live ant colonies in action as they build tunnels and societies, paralleling Singapore’s journey from a small kampong to a thriving nation. This exhibit is a fantastic way to introduce concepts of community and innovation to your children in a fun and engaging manner.

Meet Extraordinary Insects

Get up close and personal with some of nature's most bizarre creatures. The Macro Studio allows you to take stunning, detailed photographs of exotic specimens like camouflaging stick and leaf insects and graceful praying mantises. It’s an ideal spot for a memorable family photo op.

Ant Pointillism Art

Marvel at the incredible artistry created by an artist on the autism spectrum. From a distance, the works appear to be beautiful paintings, but up close, each "stroke" is a tiny ant. You can support the artist by purchasing these artworks too.

Kickstart Your Insect Pet-Keeping Journey

If your little one is an animal lover, this is the perfect opportunity to learn about a new kind of pet! You can even purchase specially designed enclosures and make your own ant-home with a one-month replacement guarantee.

More Pictures and Our Experience

We were apprehensive before visiting TinyTopia and wasn't sure if it will be something the kids or ourselves will enjoy. However, the fear proved to be unfounded as we found ourselves very quickly captivated by the exhibitions.

The kids were also caught up in trying to see what the ants where doing in each exhibit. Fascinated by being able to watch up-close as the busy insects scurry across the dioramas of the Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands and more!
