Exploria, a groundbreaking indoor multimedia attraction, is set to open at Singapore's Mandai Wildlife Reserve on 3 March 2026. Spanning 10,000 square metres, it promises to be one of Southeast Asia's largest nature-themed attractions, offering visitors a chance to explore environments and phenomena rarely accessible to humans. From prehistoric eras to the depths of ocean darkness, Exploria uses immersive architecture and responsive media to reveal nature at scales beyond everyday reach.
Visitors will embark on a journey through five immersive worlds, starting at Our Interconnected World, where a four-metre LED globe symbolises the interconnectedness of humans and nature. The attraction features interactive elements, such as a recyclable Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) wristband, allowing guests to create digital avatars and earn species badges. Bennett Neo, Group CEO of Mandai Wildlife Group, highlighted Exploria's aim to connect people with nature through "science-guided storytelling and interactive exploration."
Key attractions include the Realm of the Giants, where augmented reality brings dinosaurs to life, and Micro Worlds, which magnifies hidden microbial ecosystems. Bitdeer AI Extreme Frontiers transports visitors to challenging environments, whilst Infinite Wonderland and World of Darkness showcase biodiversity in rainforests and deep-sea habitats.
Exploria will operate from 11am to 8pm on weekdays and until 9pm on weekends and public holidays. Admission is priced at $28 (S$38) for adults and $21 (S$28) for children and students, with discounts for local residents. Special bundles and memberships are available to enhance the visitor experience
