What do you mean a wax museum doesn’t only have wax figures???

Tbh, the last time I visited Madame Tussauds Singapore was when my kids were still in Primary School… so omg, what a pleasant surprise to see that it now has an interactive exhibition detailing Singapore’s history and a brand new ‘Jumanji: Safari Tours 4D Expedition’ ride!

Even better, Singaporeans can use their $100 Culture Pass for entry (tix from $39 for adults). And if you go between 3-30 Sep, there’ll also be Adventure Quest where you take a personality quiz to discover your character, complete themed quests and collect stamps.
