The Singapore Oceanarium is more than just an aquarium; it's a journey into the heart of the marine world. Designed to inspire knowledge and action for ocean stewardship, the oceanarium boasts an expansive suite of purpose-driven public programmes and an impressive array of 22 immersive zones to explore.
From the ethereal Ocean Wonders where thousands of Moon Jellies mesmerise in one of the world's largest Kreisel habitats, to Ancient Waters which transports you back in time to an era of formidable prehistoric marine creatures, every zone offers a unique perspective. Imagine coming face-to-face with life-sized animatronics of the Dunkleosteus and Xiphactinus!
Discover the delicate balance of Singapore's Coast, showcasing resilient local marine life in mangrove shores, and delve into the fascinating phenomenon of a Whale Fall and Seamount where a fallen giant creates a thriving deep-sea ecosystem. The Drop of Water zone transforms the microscopic world of plankton into a magnificent display, revealing their essential role.
Embark on the Spirit of Exploration, where the remarkable reconstruction of a 9th-century Omani dhow, the Jewel of Muscat, takes centre stage, and brave the Pier Adventure's suspended web for a thrilling new perspective. Witness the incredible journeys of marine creatures in Migrators, from vertical movements of bioluminescent fish to the vast travels of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins.
For a truly immersive experience, explore Benthos, where elusive Green Morays and formidable Tasmanian Giant Crabs thrive near the shallow seabed. Life in the Deep unveils the mysterious world of the abyss, showcasing creatures adapted to extreme pressures, complete with stunning lighting effects and augmented reality features via the Singapore Oceanarium mobile app.
The evolutionary leap from water to land is brought to life in Conquering Land, featuring live habitats of Axolotls and Japanese Giant Salamanders, alongside digital representations of extinct species. Prepare for an extraordinary encounter at Shark Seas, where majestic Sand Tiger Sharks and Scalloped Hammerheads glide through a breathtaking tunnel.
Coral Gardens celebrates the stunning diversity of hard and soft corals, highlighting crucial restoration efforts and offering a glimpse into the secretive world of Moray Eels. In Reef Animals and Kelp Forest, marvel at the vibrant life of the reef and even peek into the Aquarist Lab to see breeding programmes in action.
The Open Ocean habitat offers an immense window into the deep, where Manta Rays, Spotted Eagle Rays, and Zebra Sharks glide gracefully, creating the breathtaking illusion of being submerged. Understand the ocean's powerful currents in Open Ocean Currents, observing schools of fish move in synchronised beauty and reflecting on human impact with the 'Garbage Patch' art installation.
Finally, explore the ingenuity of human-made structures in Artificial Habitat, where shipwrecks become thriving ecosystems, and delve into the last great frontier in Deep Ocean Exploration, featuring a life-sized replica of a deep-sea submersible.
