Reservations are required, and the ticket is tied to a thirty-minute entry window on a specific date — you may still queue. Non-refundable and non-transferable, no re-entry, and only card payment is taken inside.

A booking fee of S$4 PER TICKET is added at checkout, on top of every price here. For a family of four that is S$16, taking general admission from S$172 to S$188. It is the real gotcha.
Everyone on one booking must buy the same ticket type, so a resident cannot claim the resident rate while a visiting friend pays the standard rate on the same order.
Closed Tuesdays. Children under twelve must be with an adult, and under-threes go free.
It is a ticketed, timed-entry experience rather than a museum in the ordinary sense: you walk a one-way loop through fourteen themed installations — the sprinkle pool, a banana maze, an infinity room — and the ticket covers free-flow ice cream from stations along the way, with around nineteen flavours in rotation. General admission starts near $43, with a lower rate for Singapore residents who show ID, and entry is booked online for a fixed 30-minute window.
Most people take an hour to ninety minutes to walk the whole thing. Note that it closes on Tuesdays, and it stands right beside the Singapore Botanic Gardens. There is no MRT within walking distance — the practical routes are a taxi or Grab straight to the Loewen Road drop-off, or buses 7, 75, 77, 105, 106, 123 or 174 to the CSC Dempsey Clubhouse stop followed by a ten-minute walk uphill.
The ticket includes unlimited ice cream at every station, so arrive hungry and skip dessert elsewhere — the value is in eating your way round, not in the photographs. Singapore residents should book the resident rate with ID at the counter rather than buying the general ticket by reflex; it is several dollars cheaper for the same entry.

What you should be paying
Ticket resellers earn a commission on what they sell you. We sell nothing, so here is the operator's own price — compare before you buy.
S$43
for General admission, straight from the operator's own price table.
Anything above S$43 is a markup. A reseller can be genuinely cheaper — some run below the gate price to win the booking — but you now know which side of the line you are on. Check the total at checkout, not the headline.
See it on the operator's own page →S$5
12% off General admission: S$38 instead of S$43, on every adult ticket.
This is wider than most people think. The operator's own product name is "Singapore residents only", and it checks a digital or physical ID — Singpass is explicitly accepted. It does not say whether an Employment Pass qualifies.
S$28.67/hr
S$43 for General admission over about 1.5 hours, or S$25.33/hr at the resident rate. A thirty-minute entry window; the visit itself is not capped. The duration is our estimate, not the operator's.
Rain, heat, and what to do about it
Live readings and forecasts from NEA. Four days is the limit — past that, nobody is forecasting, they are showing you an average.
Southwest Monsoon
June to September
Short, sharp early-morning showers and occasional squall lines. Drier overall than the northeast wet phase.
The other good window. Rain tends to arrive early and clear, leaving usable afternoons. This is also when haze can occur, which is worth checking rather than assuming.
