Where Every Child Gets to Imagine, Experience, Discover and Dream
KidsSTOP™ is the Science Centre Singapore’s dedicated Children’s Science Centre. Officially opened on 5 June 2014, children aged 8 years and below can learn to inquire, investigate and innovate in a safe and conducive 3,000m² gallery that focuses specifically on science for kids.
With more than 20 exhibits
Designed to introduce concepts of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, children are provided with ample opportunities to learn through interactive play.
Hands-on Activities
Themed zones such as Flight and Space, Built Environment and Supermarket provide children with ample room for exploring science topics through hands-on activities. For example, our Planet Warriors marine conservation exhibit uses immersive technology to enhance learning, and our PlayMaker Studio’s robot toys and Tinkering Lab’s activities allow children to build and create. Simple basic skills in sequencing and coding are some skills that the children will pick up as they enjoy the tech toys provided.
Edutaining Programmes
Our Educational Programmes for Schools employ creative drama and hands-on activities to communicate, engage and teach science to young children. Our dedicated educators guide them to grasp science concepts through first-hand experiences. We aim to make learning positive and enjoyable for children and to inspire continuous engagement with science through our edutainment activities.
Accessible and Inclusive
This is part of our commitment to becoming more accessible and inclusive, as such, we have prepared a Sensory Levels information guide below to help you plan your day better. Social Stories, Sensory Bag, and Quiet Sessions are available to you when you need them.
