More things to do over the National Day weekend.
From August 8 to 10, Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents will have the opportunity to visit the Science Centre Singapore at no cost, coinciding with the debut of the SG Science Fest 2026 during the National Day weekend. The festival, themed around the ocean, kicked off on August 8 and features an array of activities and attractions.
Guests can engage in a mystery shipwreck investigation, attend live science shows, enjoy outdoor water play, participate in hands-on marine science activities, and interact with the mascot Quby, marking its 10th anniversary. Highlights include "Shipwrecked: Uncover the Mystery," a stage where visitors examine evidence at a simulated shipwreck site, and "Robot's Bytes to Bites," a live show featuring hawkers, a robot chef, and dramatic science demonstrations.
Syrena, the founder of the Singapore Mermaid School, will provide insights into buoyancy, hydrodynamics, and human physiology through the art of mermaiding. Various marine science stations will demonstrate how ships stay afloat, explore corrosion, and examine marine organisms' colonization of underwater surfaces, with a coral restoration simulation available for hands-on learning.
Participants can collect themed stickers to create a personalized acrylic keychain as a memento of the festival. For those seeking a deeper experience, bundled tickets are available, offering access to public transport, alternative parking, and a complimentary shuttle service at Jurong Town Hall. The Science Centre remains open daily from 10 am to 6 pm during the festival.
