Images of Singapore LIVE, Boat Ride and Madame Tussauds Singapore

Images of Singapore LIVE takes you on a journey to uncover the Singapore's story, from a humble Malay fishing village to 21st century powerhouse. There is someone at every scene playing a certain role such as a Samsui woman, cinema attendant, who tells the history as well. It is interactive and theatrical. Through a unique mix of live actors and special effects in short skit and role-playing, get ready to step back in time to Singapore's past. You will be ushered from point to point by the actors. There are human sculptures along the way that would talk occasionally. It is a nice touch. 

Images of Singapore LIVE TripAdvisor Reviews 2017: The entry to this is along with that of Madame Tussauds. The story telling is quite unique with live actors in most of the places, adding a touch of reality to the show. actors were enthusiastic. short skit, role-playing made the show more interesting. very realistic in the terms of their accent and looks. I'd also like to appreciate how they interacted with the audience and made them feel like they were actually in the place! they usher the crowd from point to point, sending you on a journey from the past to the present. Good way to present the history of how Singapore has evolved. spending a long time in queue. We started of in the Harbour master's office and the show ends with a boat ride after which, we entered Madame Tussauds. The show is of about 30 minutes duration and certainly worth doing.

After the boat ride, you enter Madame Tussauds Singapore where you get to rub shoulders with the wax sculptures of your favourite icons, rock stars, actors, politicians, musicians and more.

Madame Tussauds TripAdvisor Reviews 2017: It's very beautiful wax museum. Sculptures are impressive and life-like. I was very much happy to see lot great Indian personalities statue in the museum. The place is quite small, crowded in certain places especially weekend. Some of the figures weren't very good replicas. couldn't figure out who the Marilyn Monroe one was. Don't know why they had kept an Indian Actor, Sharukh Khan in a glass enclosure. If you havent visited any other Wax museum this will be great experience. We could carry our stroller till last stop and had to park outside the building.

Tiger Sky Tower, Sentosa, Singapore

Gently rising 131 metres above sea level, relax inside the air-conditioned cabin of the Tiger Sky Tower and enjoy panoramic views across Sentosa and Singapore's Southern Islands – as well as neighbouring Malaysia and even Indonesia. Singapore's tallest observatory tower is a distinctive landmark, soaring high above the surrounding natural greenery. 

In the cabin there will be commentary about the history of Sentosa, pointing out famous landmarks across Singapore where it gently rotates up to the top, where you can enjoy 360 degrees view and comes down. 

TripAdvisor Reviews 2017: It shows the view of Sentosa and Singapore bay from a pretty good height. This is mainly to take pics from that height. It takes about 15 minutes - a nice view of Singapore harbour area with running commentary. The whole deck moves around, like a revolving restaurant, giving all the visitors a panoramic view and opportunity to click photos. Unlike stationary decks. Worth a visit. Once inside the deck of the tower, one can soak in 360 degrees views of Sentosa island as the deck slowly rotates and moves upwards. The aerial views of Sentosa presented by the Tiger Sky Tower are amazing but you can experience the same if you take the cable car as well! it's okay to ride SkyTower once and tick mark in your diary "been there, done that" but not going back for a second time. 

Plenty of photo opportunity

360 degree panoramic view of Singapore and beyond.

Fort Siloso and Skywalk, Sentosa

Fort Siloso was built in the late 19th century. During that time, Singapore had become an important trading port for the British, so it was imperative that the island was protected from sea invasion. You can discover life as a soldier, explore preserved tunnels (No real tunnels at the Fort, they are actually underground areas), underground ammunition stores and WWII-era guns. It is the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore.

The 11-storey, 181 meters long Skywalk provides guests a scenic trek above the trees en route to Fort Siloso. You may also choose to explore the fort by the Heritage Trail or the Gun Trail. Both the Skywalk and Fort Siloso are free for all, and there are also guided tours at Fort Siloso for a more detailed historical account of the area. Surrender Chamber section and guided tours are chargeable.

Fort Siloso is the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore. WWII-era weapons.

stunning unobstructed view of the Singapore Straits, Siloso Beach, Harbour Front and the Keppel Bay. Remember to bring your hat, umbrella for some shade.

Surrender Chambers (chargeable)
Relive some of the momentous events in Singapore’s history with the Surrender Chambers immersive show. Be guided by light, sound and video effects starting from the Japanese invasion, all the way to the Japanese’s eventual surrender to the British at the end of WWII. Before you leave, share a message of peace on the wall of poppies. 

Surrender Chambers

TripAdvisor Reviews 2017: The Fort Siloso Skywalk Tower is an impressive 43m high tower, which the skywalk links the Siloso Beach to Fort Siloso. The tower has lift access, which brought us up to the skywalk bridge. The skywalk bridge is 181m long, which along the way visitors would have a stunning unobstructed view of the Singapore Straits, Siloso Beach, Harbour Front and the Keppel Bay. Walking on the bridge towards Fort Siloso, we also found a number of displays by the side introducing the history of the fort and the artillery gun emplacements. Entrance is free and it promises a magnificent view of the surrounding area, regardless whether in the day or night. Stunning views from this skywalk, too hot to linger for too long, but worth a stroll. Not covered so remember your hat At the end of the walk is Fort Siloso, which was built to defend Singapore against an invasion by sea from the south. Now a museum, Fort Siloso displays its history and guns. This is a good way to reach Fort Siloso if you don't want to hike the usual route.

We were there at 11.20am and there were still some empty seats available. The ordering process is very fast, but we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. Everything is self service. The verdict: Good food at reasonable price, will definitely go back.

REVIEWS

https://www.facebook.com/pg/ThomasTownPuteriHarbour/reviews/ 2017 My girl likes hello kitty & my boy like thomas train very much. Really suit what they need. My girl insist me to return. My son still at 2 and can't do much. Likewise my girl with 92cm height a lot games she miss. Clean place,beautiful set up & great environment for kids. We will come back when both height 101cm above. When they can gets to play all the games. I love it. Great time enjoy with my kids from 10am til 6pm! The daily show was awesome. Very suitable for kids 12 and below.. but every age group can still enjoy it. Rides are very children friendly. i went during weekday of school holiday, so less people and almost always there were no queues for the rides.

Reviews from tripadvisor 2017: The shows are great. I used to pay hundred for a ticket to bring my girl to watch Barney's concert. But here, you can still watch Barney performance and take pic. The Barney experience is very well managed. Better for smaller children, there are a few rides but you can do everything in a couple of hours (unless you want to see all the shows). The kids couldn't stop playing all the activities one after another repeatedly. The facility was clean and well-maintained. The place is quite cold. Do bring along cardigan or jacket and let the kids put on Long pants.
