Learn about the Lion City: Sure, we know that Singapore has many nicknames, but do you know where they came from? Find out that and much more about the culture, heritage, and development of this island-nation at the Time Capsule.
Fun for the whole family: We know that kids can get bored easily, but R65 will make sure to keep them engaged and moving the whole time. The entire experience requires you to move and interact with the robot, so the kids will definitely be engaged. Plus, the Singapore Flyer and Time Capsule are completely wheelchair friendly, so don't let that stop you or your loved ones from experiencing something different.
It's free!: ... with your Singapore Flyer ticket, of course. And why would you say no to something that is fun and mentally stimulating, especially when you don't have to pay for it.
The whole experience is spread out over two levels and five zones. Level 1 tells the story of Singapore's past and Level 2 talks about the present and future of the nation. Take a look!
It is like going back in time when you enter the Island of Myths at the Singapore Time Capsule. Suddenly, you find yourself in a 700 year old kampong (village).
