Fort Siloso
near Underwater World
$8/5 adult/child
10AM-6PM
all buses, then transfer to tram

Formerly the largest British naval base in Fortress Singapore, its guns staring balefully out towards the sea in preparation for enemy attack. The Japanese rode bikes down the peninsula instead; after your visit here, be sure to visit the Battle Box at Fort Canning Hill to find out what happened next. Now turned into a museum, you can follow a tour through the area complete with lots of wax figures to find out what the life of a recruit was like. Nearly doubled in size in 2004.

Images of Singapore
near Cable Car Station
$10/7 adult/child
9AM-7PM
green, blue bus

A sugar-coated, kid-friendly retelling of the official Singapore story, where people of many races have come together to live in harmony. Renovated in 2006 and now uses the latest technology, but there is not all that much substance under the glitz.

Sentosa Luge & Skyride
Beach Station
$10 single ride, plus $1 for child riding with adult

Up the hill in a ski lift and down again in a steerable bobsled. Kid safe. Good attraction for younger kids as the incline of the track hinders going very fast. Not very exciting for those over 15. If you are inclined to go, resist temptation to purchase multiple trips until trying it the first time. The newer Dragon Trail is closed on rainy days.

Songs of the Sea
60 Siloso Beach Walk
$10
Daily at 7:40PM and 8:40PM
Beach Station

Multimedia extravaganza with live cast, pyrotechnics, water jets and lasers. Very popular, so book ahead, especially on weekends.

Underwater World
near Siloso Beach
$22.90/14.60 adult/child, includes admission to Dolphin Lagoon
all buses

Claims to be Asia's largest tropical oceanarium, it features a walk-through aquarium with lots of sharks and fishes and many smaller tanks.

Long a bit of a joke — Singaporean wags like to quip that "Sentosa" actually stands for "So Expensive and Nothing to See Actually" — Sentosa's attractions have received some much-needed upgrades in recent years, with the worst of the lot unceremoniously demolished. Offerings of interest to adults are still quite limited, but at there's enough to keep children amused for a day or two. For all attractions below, a "child" is defined as being between three and twelve.

Sentosa Merlion
$8/5 adult/child
10AM-8PM
Imbiah Station

A stretched-out 37-metre version of the statue by the Singapore River, which is lit up at night - note, the Merlion highly disappointingly no longer shoots lasers if in fact it ever did from its eyes. Admission enables you to take the elevator up into its mouth and gaze out over the nearby Port of Singapore, as well as experience some seriously cheesy exhibits downstairs.
