Dive Into Hangyodon Marine Discovery At Singapore Oceanarium

If you have ever smiled at Sanrio’s lovable misfits, then this new immersive experience will capture your heart. In celebration of his 40th anniversary, Sanrio’s quirky half-fishman Hangyodon is taking the spotlight at Singapore Oceanarium in Southeast Asia’s first immersive Hangyodon-themed experience. The limited-time installation, Hangyodon Marine Discovery, runs from 28 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, inviting fans and families to dive into a joyful oceanic adventure that blends storytelling, conservation, and edutainment like never before.

A Whimsical Marine Journey for All Ages

Set within the vibrant galleries of the Singapore Oceanarium at Resorts World Sentosa, this special feature follows Hangyodon and his best friend Sayuri the octopus on their first imaginary ocean getaway. Each zone is a sensory-rich portal that combines interactive installations, larger-than-life photo spots, and educational panels to bring the ocean’s wonders to life. More than just a festive attraction, the experience explores topics like marine conservation, ocean biodiversity, and sustainability, engaging visitors in meaningful discovery through colourful play.

What to Expect: Highlights of the Experience

As guests step into the vibrant, whimsical world of Hangyodon, they are immediately greeted by a giant inflatable installation that sets the festive tone for the entire journey. Inside, the experience unfolds across immersive zones designed to delight all ages. Striking life-sized installations and interactive storytelling stations allow visitors to learn about marine life through play, capturing the essence of the character’s adventurous spirit while creating perfect photo moments for the memory bank.

For fans of all things adorable, there is also a range of limited-edition Hangyodon-themed collectibles and exclusive food and beverage offerings. Whether you are on the hunt for a seasonal gift or just treating yourself, these one-of-a-kind mementos blend Sanrio’s signature charm with a marine twist, making them as meaningful as they are memorable.

Adding depth to the experience is a special guided programme titled Animal Spotlight: Corals, where guests get a behind-the-scenes look at how the Oceanarium cares for and propagates coral ecosystems. Led by animal care specialists, this session gives young minds and curious hearts a chance to appreciate the fragility of coral habitats, ending with a Hangyodon-themed keepsake to take home.

No Sanrio celebration is complete without a character meet-and-greet, and this one delivers. Visitors will have the rare chance to interact with Hangyodon in person. These up-close moments offer not just photo opportunities, but memories that families, couples, and long-time fans will treasure long after the holiday season fades.

Edutainment That Connects with Purpose

Beyond the cuteness and fanfare lies a core message about protecting our oceans. Through interactive storytelling and impactful exhibits, guests will encounter real-world issues such as marine pollution and endangered species, all explained in accessible and engaging ways for children and adults alike. Species such as sharks, corals, and intertidal animals feature prominently, reminding everyone how the ocean is connected to daily life on land.
