Inside SG’s Next-Gen Oceanarium Experience
Anna Agoncillo
Formerly known as the S.E.A. Aquarium, the beloved underwater destination has undergone a bold transformation, emerging as the Singapore Oceanarium. More than just a name change, this is a sweeping reimagination of scale and vision.
Located at Resorts World Sentosa, the Singapore Oceanarium offers far more than a dazzling display of marine biodiversity. It presents itself as a global leader in ocean education, research, and conservation. Visitors are no longer simply spectators. They are invited to engage with a powerful narrative that connects humanity to the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.
Inside, the Oceanarium showcases immersive zones that guide guests through different realms and time periods of the ocean. The redesigned layout feels more expansive and fluid, replacing the dense signboards of the past with storytelling-driven exhibits that captivate and inform. The enhanced flow allows for a more intuitive experience that deepens connection with the marine world.

Ocean Wonders introduces guests to the surreal elegance of sea jellies, creatures that have drifted through the oceans for over half a billion years. Cylindrical tanks offer a full view of these fascinating animals, including rare species such as the Atlantic Sea Nettle and the Fried Egg Jelly. The rotating displays are both hypnotic and educational, highlighting the careful in-house breeding work of dedicated aquarists.
Ancient Waters offers an entirely different perspective. Life-sized animatronics and fossil exhibits bring to life ocean giants from prehistoric eras. Guests can observe modern-day descendants like the Arapaima, Horseshoe Crab, and Epaulette Shark in live tanks, bridging the world of ancient predators with present-day survivors.
The Spirit of Exploration zone features the Jewel of Muscat, a full-scale reconstruction of a ninth-century Omani sailing vessel. Suspended above is the Pier Adventure rope course, an optional ticketed activity for thrill-seekers. Nearby, Explorer’s Nook café serves marine-themed pastries in a spacious and comfortable setting perfect for a mid-visit break.
Shark Seas offers an adrenaline-pumping experience. Visitors walk through a tunnel surrounded by powerful predators such as the Scalloped Hammerhead and Sandbar Shark. Through the official app, guests can also engage in augmented reality experiences that reveal the complex reproductive systems and conservation challenges facing these species.
The Open Ocean zone features the largest viewing panel in the attraction. Manta Rays, Zebra Sharks, and Eagle Rays glide through a breathtaking aquatic landscape that evokes a sense of calm and awe. It is one of the most iconic spots within the Oceanarium.
Interactive areas like the Cleaner Shrimp zone allow guests to immerse their hands for a unique spa-like experience. At the Art-quarium, visitors can digitally design their own fish based on adaptive traits, blending fun with science.
Beyond the exhibits, the Oceanarium offers specialty programs such as the Fossilist Workshop, conservation-focused diving courses, and deep-sea encounters featuring rare creatures like the Japanese Isopod and the Australian Ghostshark. Ticket prices begin at S$42 for Singapore residents on weekdays, with additional premium experiences available for those who want to go deeper.

Are you excited to visit soon? A friendly reminder: Ticket prices for the Singapore Oceanarium start at S$42 for Singapore residents and S$50 for non-residents on weekdays. Rates increase slightly during peak periods, with adult tickets priced at S$49 and S$55 respectively. Discounted rates are available for children and seniors too.
Ultimately, the Singapore Oceanarium is more than just a visual treat as it’s a journey into the heart of marine life. Guests are sure to leave not only amazed, but also inspired to care for the ocean and everything that calls it home.

What It’s Like to Buy POP MART in Taiwan, Thailand, & Vietnam
Founded in 2010 by Chinese entrepreneur Wang Ning, POP MART began as a lifestyle store offering quirky pop culture merchandise. Over time, one product line rose to prominence: art toys. Inspired by Japan’s gacha machines, POP MART embraced the blind box model, where customers never know which character they will receive until they open the box. The thrill of surprise became its signature.
As a frequent traveller and passionate collector, I have discovered that the best travel keepsake is not a fridge magnet or postcard, but a POP MART blind box. Recently, I visited POP MART stores in Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Each location brought a different experience worth sharing.
TAIWAN
Taipei’s Ximending district is home to one of the most iconic POP MART flagships. The store spans four full levels, with a grand exterior resembling a theatre. Inside, you will find a rotating exhibition space, a VIP lounge, and exclusive merchandise featuring Pop Bean and other character lines.

During our visit just four days ago, the lines were long and products sold out quickly. Still, my sister managed to get a Twinkle Twinkle box, and I picked up a Hacipupu. Beyond the Ximending flagship, POP MART outlets and Roboshops are widely available in cities such as Kaohsiung, Chiayi, Taoyuan, and Tainan.
THAILAND
In Thailand, the POP MART craze is equally strong. The flagship store at CentralWorld in Bangkok offers limited edition collectibles exclusive to the Thai market. Additional branches can be found in major malls like Terminal21 Asoke, Siam Center, Central Ladprao, Central Westgate, and Fashion Island.

We explored the CentralWorld branch hoping to shop, but the checkout line was too long, and our schedule was tight. We left without a purchase, a reminder that timing is everything for POP MART collectors in Bangkok.
VIETNAM
Apart from Taiwan, our family’s most recent travel included a stop at Ba Na Hills in Da Nang, Vietnam. To my surprise, the POP MART store there is set inside a castle. It was a unique setting for a collectible hunt!

Vietnam currently has two official POP MART locations. One is inside Crescent Mall in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. The other, which we visited, is located inside Ba Na Hills, high in the mountains. With no queues and well-stocked shelves, we were able to buy four blind boxes in under 10 minutes.
VERDICT: MOST REWARDING POP MART EXPERIENCE
Of all the stores I visited, the Ba Na Hills location in Da Nang stood out the most. The stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and relaxed shopping experience made it the most enjoyable. Since it requires extra effort to reach and an admission ticket to enter, it seems to keep the crowd size down and the product selection wide.
If you are planning a trip and love collectible art toys, a POP MART visit might just be the most memorable part of your journey. Whether you find yourself in Taipei, Bangkok, or Da Nang, the right blind box could be waiting for you!
