Resorts World Sentosa has officially launched ticket sales for the highly anticipated Singapore Oceanarium, which opens to the public on 24 July 2025, following an exclusive opening ceremony on 23 July. This new world-class attraction promises an immersive marine journey that blends storytelling, science, and conservation to inspire love and action for our oceans.

Dive Into Opening Season Celebrations

To mark its debut, Singapore Oceanarium is unveiling a special season of opening festivities, featuring curated exhibitions, hands-on workshops, and artistic showcases led by distinguished local talents. These experiences are designed to spark curiosity and encourage visitors of all ages to explore their role in ocean stewardship.

One of the key highlights is Research & Learning Week (25–27 July 2025), hosted in the oceanarium’s dedicated Research and Learning Centre. Visitors can expect expert-led talks, interactive workshops, and research showcases developed with partners like the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC).

Don’t miss the Living Oceans Exhibition, featuring curated specimens from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum and marine research posters from the RWS-NUS Living Laboratory. Together, these exhibits highlight the beauty and fragility of marine ecosystems.

Meanwhile, Ties That Bind, a stirring photo gallery by renowned Singaporean photographers Toh Xing Jie and Michael Aw, captures the intricate connections that sustain ocean life. Featured in the Spirit of Exploration zone, the showcase includes images of marine animals native to Singapore waters and celebrates local photography talent as part of SG60 National Day.

A Smarter Ocean Experience: New Mobile App Launch

Launching on 23 July 2025, the Singapore Oceanarium mobile app brings an extra layer of interaction to the marine journey. With augmented and virtual reality features, the app lets users purchase tickets, access exclusive digital content, join volunteer activities, and even make interactive pledges to ocean conservation.

App users will also enjoy priority entry lanes and unlock free access to Pier Adventure (worth S$10, valid till 31 August 2025). This elevated web structure offers sweeping views of the Jewel of Muscat, a ninth-century Arabian dhow replica from the former Maritime Experiential Museum.

Visitors can also submit ocean pledges through the app, which appear on a real-time digital board—a living display of collective action. Each commitment is emailed as a personalised card to serve as a lasting reminder of one’s role in protecting our oceans.

Tickets to the Singapore Oceanarium are now available here. Guests are encouraged to book early to secure slots during the opening celebrations and take part in the full lineup of exhibits, workshops, and conservation talks available throughout the launch period.
