What looks like a giant rock bursting with greenery is actually Singapore's high-tech, child-friendly natural history museum (lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg; adult/child S$24/15). It displays over a million specimens showcasing the biodiversity of Southeast Asia and Singapore, and has a historical collection dating back to the 19th century. Be sure to say hi to Prince, Apollonia and Twinky, the three giant diplodocid sauropod skeletons right in its center.

There are three entry sessions per day: 10am to 1pm, 1pm to 4pm and 4pm to 7pm and the last admission is at 5.30pm. Tickets can be purchased via SISTIC or at the counter, payment is by credit card only.

To get here catch the 96 bus from Clementi MRT station.
