A hidden gem at the National University of Singapore, the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research houses more than 500,000 animals and plant specimens that you can get up close with. Children can marvel at spectacular animals ranging from dugongs, a giant turtle, tigers, bats and more. They can also have fun competing against one another in animal-themed giant puzzles and paper craft stations. Don’t forget to take this chance to join an exclusive tour of the museum’s three-storey archive section that is rarely opened for public viewing.
