National Museum of Singapore

The draw for kids is Singapore Odyssea in the Glass Rotunda, where a wristband wakes up an animated wildlife companion that guides you through Singapore's story. The revamped Singapore History Gallery tells more than 700 years of history with hands-on and multimedia displays, and outside by the Front Lawn, A Whale of a Tale is a playground modelled on the blue whale skeleton the museum once displayed.

Tip: Singapore Odyssea is by timed entry, so book a slot on the museum's website before you go.
