For a country we're constantly reminded of as a "Garden City", it's easy to forget that Singapore is essentially an island nation — surrounded by the sea, and deeply connected to its marine ecosystems.

We got a sneak peek of what's in store, from Arctic ice fields to coral reefs — here's what you can look forward to at the exhibition.

What is the exhibition all about?

"ONE Ocean: Every Action Ripples" marks the global debut of 20 years of research by the Tara Ocean Foundation. The exhibition uses interactive and immersive storytelling to showcase the fragility and wonder of ocean ecosystems.

Panellists from Tara Ocean Foundation, RideFX, and NUS shared how the exhibition brings together the work of international research teams.

Founded by Agnès Troublé in 2003, the Tara Ocean Foundation is a nonprofit organisation that collaborates with renowned scientific institutions to study the ocean.

The foundation also embarks on sea voyages, such as the Tara Coral expedition, in which the scientific schooner Tara makes its way through coral waters.

Tara Ocean Foundation is also the team behind the Tara Polar Station — a long-term observatory and laboratory studying the Central Arctic.

What to expect at the exhibition

Tides of the Red Dot

Explore local marine heritage

In case you didn't know, the warm and shallow waters of Singapore are actually home to over 250 species of coral, forming a rich ecosystem teeming with marine life.

Take a glimpse into Singapore's reef system and marine biodiversity at Tides of the Red Dot, where you'll get to explore local marine heritage.

7 Wonders of the Ocean

Panoramic 360° video projections

Watch as the currents sweep over your head and a baleen whale swims past at 7 Wonders of the Ocean — a 360° projection of the underwater world.

There are 4 touch-screen stations in the room where you can read up on marine fun facts involving whales, bioluminescence, and more.

Symphonies & Legends

A multi-sensory deep ocean exploration

If you have ever wondered what it sounds like out at sea, step into Symphonies & Legends — a multi-sensory deep ocean exploration experience.

From gusts of wind that blow above a ship to the song of whales, have a go at adjusting the levels and sounds at this interactive station.

Microscopic Life: The Superheroes of the Ocean

Learn about microscopic organisms

The ocean is more than just whales and fish — there are thousands of microscopic organisms invisible to the naked eye that play a vital role in marine ecosystems.

Stories of the Ocean

Myths & legends from around the world

Settle down in a cosy spot right under a colossal Kraken at Stories of the Ocean as you tune in to legendary tales from around the world.

Watch projections of shadow puppets and illustrations take over the walls as you listen to tales of ghost ships doomed to never find port.

Tara Polar Station

Go on an Arctic expedition

Step into a replica of the Tara Polar Station, where you'll get to navigate the unique geode structure and watch unseen footage from polar expeditions.

There are 8 digital windows inside the dome that reveal horizons of the Arctic through 3 immersive cycles — offering a glimpse into the icy polar world.

Secrets of the Blue

Free-roaming VR experience

For those who wish to truly immerse themselves in an underwater adventure, you can purchase a separate ticket for $10. Guided by a Yellow — an underwater drone — you'll get to "suit up" and "dive underwater" to explore marine life.

From watching a naughty otter make rounds around us to seeing a dolphin dive headfirst into a school of fish for a mid-day snack, vivid marine scenes unfold before your eyes.

Gift shop

Ocean-themed merch

When you're done learning about marine ecosystems, take a piece of the exhibition home with you — select from a range of limited-edition marine-themed gifts at the gift shop.

From cute marine plushies to diaphonized keychains, there's a wide range of souvenirs to choose from. You can also find educational kits to continue your ocean science exploration at home, alongside eco-friendly lifestyle products that encourage sustainable living.

At a time when ocean health, climate change, and biodiversity loss are pressing challenges, the ONE Ocean exhibition is a reminder of how marine ecosystems are inextricably interconnected with our way of life — from small actions on land or at sea, their effects ripple across oceans, coastlines, and communities worldwide.

With interactive stations and immersive storytelling, the exhibition not only provides you and your young ones with a fun time, but also a deep dive into marine ecosystems and how we can contribute to marine conservation.
