Experience Bioluminescence At Science Centre Singapore From 3 November

Written by Jon Phay
From 3 November 2026, Science Centre Singapore is bringing bioluminescence to life with Glowing Oceans, an exhibition where visitors can wade through glowing water and meet the living organisms behind the light. Tickets start from S$7.

Meet the living organisms behind the glow

Glowing Oceans lets visitors interact with live dinoflagellates at touch tanks. These tiny organisms produce light through a chemical reaction, giving off blue flashes when the water moves.

Billed as Asia’s first full-scale living bioluminescence exhibition, it also introduces glowing deep-sea creatures at Dimitri’s Desk and traces Charles Darwin’s encounter with the phenomenon at Darwin’s Cove. The experience is suitable for ages four and above.

Make it an ocean-themed outing

Continue exploring at ONE Ocean: Every Action Ripples, running at Science Centre Singapore’s Annexe until 3 January 2027. Through large-scale projections, spatial soundscapes and free-roaming virtual reality experiences, the exhibition explores how marine ecosystems connect with everyday life.

ONE Ocean tickets start from S$10.
