What happened
Science Centre Singapore is celebrating the fall season and early November with three exciting new experiences for visitors of all ages. The Halloween event, Spookology, runs until November 1 and includes a live mystery game where participants investigate a science experiment gone wrong amid spooky challenges like giant spiders. Special after-dark programming on October 30 and 31 adds DJs, exclusive science shows, stargazing sessions, and a horror short film screening.
Beginning November 3, the Science Centre introduces the Glowing Oceans exhibition, Asia’s first immersive bioluminescence exhibit featuring live glowing marine plankton. Visitors can walk through a shallow lagoon that lights up with their every step and explore interactive tables and tanks that illuminate in response to touch. Additionally, to mark Quby’s 10th anniversary, five unique collectible plushies inspired by marine life and local culture have been launched for fans to take home.
Why it feels good
These activities invite visitors to connect with science in playful and sensory ways that stimulate curiosity and wonder. The Halloween theme brings thrills with a scientific twist, helping children and adults engage with fears and mysteries in a fun, educational setting. The evening programs add a festive social vibe that enhances the learning experience.
Glowing Oceans offers a rare chance to witness and interact with the magical phenomenon of bioluminescence firsthand. This living exhibition fosters appreciation for marine ecosystems and highlights the wonders of nature’s light-producing creatures. Meanwhile, the Quby plushies celebrate a popular icon beloved by children, providing tangible keepsakes that inspire ongoing interest in science and exploration.
What to enjoy or watch next
Visitors eager to partake in Spookology should plan to attend by November 1 and consider booking after-dark sessions, which run from 7pm to 11pm on October 30 and 31. Younger children have specially designed activities through Spookology Juniors at KidsSTOP, perfect for introducing science through creative play and discovery.
Starting November 3, the Glowing Oceans exhibition is open during regular Science Centre hours, with different ticket prices for Singapore residents and tourists. It’s best suited for children over four and adults due to water and lighting conditions. Meanwhile, for Quby fans, the new plushies can be purchased at the Curiosity Shop and make for delightful gifts or mementos of a fun science outing.
