| Fort Siloso |
|
Fort Siloso dates back to the period of World War II. It is the only restored battery out of the 12 coast artillery batteries which made up ‘Fortress Singapore’ during the war. The fort is located on the western tip of the island. It is one of four coastal gun batteries constructed by the British in the country.
The fort is divided into 3 zones, including The Red Zone, The Yellow Zone and The Blue Zone. The Red Zone contains exhibits that provide an insight into the fall of Singapore to Japan during World War II.
The Yellow Zone displays a soldier's life story at the fort during the war. The Blue Zone is actually a tunnel that leads to the gun tower of the British soldiers.
The fort can be reached from Singapore by taking the Mass Rapid Transit to the Harbourfront Station. From the Harbourfront Station, one can take a bus to the Harbourfront bus interchange. The buses that operate for this sight from Harbourfront bus interchange are 30, 65, 80, 97, 100, 131, 145, 166 and 855.
Timing: 9 am – 6 pm (Daily)
Admission Fees: 283.33 INR (Adults)
177.08 INR (Child 3 – 12 years old)

The best of Sentosa Islands
|
|
At the Sentosa Islands, I plan to catch the following (other than Universal Studios, of course) based on general public feedback.
- Sentosa CineBlast + Desperados - 2-IN-1
- Megazip (Not too adventurous so avoiding Climbmax, Parajump, Northface)
- Luge & Skyride
- Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon
- Songs of the Sea
- Animal & Bird Encounters at Palawan Amphitheatre
- Segway Fun Ride (on secure circuit)
- Southernmost point of Continental Asia
For anyone who has covered Sentosa Islands as comprehensively as possible, could you please guide me on a few queries…
1) I have short-listed the following to save time and money. But am I missing anything really worthwhile from the above mentioned rides/shows/attractions?
2) Would I be able to cover all this within one day? Will it he a rush-n-run experience?
3) Do I need to go for advance booking for any of these rides? I plan to visit in Apr-May 2012… is that peak period?
4) What kind of transport is available within Sentosa to go from one attraction point to other? Are they really far-away from each other? Are there any shuttle services and how much would it cost? I don’t have personal transport…
5) What are the best economical pure veg food options within Sentosa?
6) Finally, how much would I compromise on the fun if I take along my 2-yr son, since I guess kids are not allowed on most rides?
Would really appreciate genuine feedback. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gaurav
