Singapore Discovery Centre Reopens With An Escape Room, Laser Tag & AR Exhibit
Singapore Discovery Centre (SDC), being one of the most popular school excursion spots, holds fond memories for many of us. But even the best-loved attraction needs a revamp every now and then.
After a 6-month renovation, SDC is back with more exhibits and attractions.
In addition to existing galleries, the newly-revamped SDC now has an escape room facility and laser tag arena so you can engage both your brains and brawns during your weekend trip.

Families with aspiring Hardy Boys or Nancy Drews would love a visit to Black Lake Facility — the largest escape room attraction in Singapore.

Spanning 2 levels, the facility comprises 13 rooms fit into 4 themed chapters that intertwine into a single cohesive plot.

Visitors will play the role of special agents to learn the fate of 5 brave soldiers who were involved in a top-secret mission called Operation Onyx.
It is a reconnaissance mission to the alternative dimension using a mysterious ancient relic that is being experimented on by the Black Lake Facility.

Prices start at $24 for children aged 3-12 and $30 for adults 13 and above.

Visitors in search of more exhilarating fun should consider visiting the Black Lake Laser Battlefield.

Incorporating technology into the activity, laser tag participants can shoot at projected creatures like aliens, monsters, and zombies.
Battlefields can also be altered in an instant, allowing participants to experience multiple ‘terrains’ during their visit.

With the addition of Augmented Reality (AR), visitors can now have a more immersive experience rediscovering key moments of Singapore’s history at the Through the Lens of Time exhibit.

Some of these key chapters date back to more than 700 years ago but also include more recent ones like the 1983 Sentosa Cable Car rescue mission.

The best thing is, admission to the exhibitions is free for all Singaporeans and PRs. Non-Singaporean adults and children would have to pay $10 and $8 respectively.

The exhibit will open to the public in mid-November.
Visiting Singapore attractions can be equally exciting
Though our travel plans might have been thwarted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, visiting attractions at home like the SDC can also be pretty exciting too.
Since the attractions will only open on Saturday (31 Oct), we’d suggest planning ahead and calling up your friends first.
