Step Into Mandai Wildlife Reserve Exploria Experience

Imagine standing beneath towering dinosaurs, feeling the force of a monsoon storm, and peering into microscopic worlds that quietly sustain life, all within a single day, because from 3 March 2026, Exploria opens at Mandai Wildlife Reserve as one of Southeast Asia’s largest indoor, nature themed multimedia attractions, spanning 10,000 square metres and inviting you to uncover the invisible systems that hold our planet together.

A New Dimension of Nature at Mandai

Exploria is designed for visitors of all ages, with a particular focus on teenagers and young adults, blending real-world footage with science-led storytelling. Through immersive architecture and responsive media, you are transported into extraordinary environments that are rarely accessible to humans, ranging from prehistoric eras and extreme habitats to microscopic ecosystems and the depths of ocean darkness.

Your journey begins at Our Interconnected World, the central hub of Exploria. At its heart lies the Biopool, anchored by a four metre LED globe that pulses like a living heartbeat, symbolising the interconnectedness of humans and nature. As you explore, your actions send visible pulses of light to the globe in real time, reflecting how small individual actions combine to create meaningful change. The globe comes alive during The Planet Awakens, Exploria’s signature light and sound spectacle, filling the space with synchronised projections, dynamic colours and rhythms that capture the energy of the five worlds that await.

Five Immersive Worlds, Five Perspectives

In Realm of the Giants, prehistoric life towers overhead. Monumental installations and augmented reality windows bring ancient landscapes to life, placing you face-to-face with Mesozoic dinosaurs and colossal sea creatures that once ruled the Earth. The centrepiece, The Giants Show, is an eight-minute, 360-degree standing theatre experience that sweeps you through 500 million years of life, from the rise of the earliest giants across land, sea and sky to their dramatic extinction.

Micro Worlds shifts your focus to life at vastly different scales. Interactive glass orbs and projection domes magnify plankton, insect colonies, fungi, and bacteria, revealing ecosystems that are usually hidden from the naked eye and demonstrating how these tiny organisms quietly sustain life on Earth.

At Bitdeer AI Extreme Frontiers, you are transported into some of the planet’s most challenging environments through virtual expeditions and simulator rooms. From polar bears navigating melting Arctic ice to Namaqua chameleons thermoregulating in arid deserts and demoiselle cranes migrating at high altitudes, the experience offers a visceral glimpse into habitats few humans encounter firsthand. A desert simulator recreates an arid habitat heated to 40 degrees Celsius, heightening the realism of the encounter.

Infinite Wonderland celebrates the biodiversity of rainforests and coral reefs through layered multi sensory details, where wildlife emerges from dense foliage and vibrant reefscapes. In contrast, World of Darkness uncovers life without light in caves and the deep ocean, highlighting the remarkable adaptations of bioluminescent vampire squids, eyeless yeti crabs and blind cave fish.

Interactive Play and Personal Discovery

A Radio Frequency Identification wristband enhances your visit with personalised interactivity. You can create a digital avatar, activate installations and earn species badges as you engage with responsive media features. A live scoreboard in Exploria’s exit tunnel tracks your progress, and your profile remains active for a year, encouraging friendly competition and repeat visits as you continue to collect badges and build achievements over time.

Hidden Gems are embedded within the physical environment, unlocked by scanning your wristband at specific spots, rewarding close attention to your surroundings. Each world also features Memory Hooks, unique photo stations that can be unlocked to capture moments from new perspectives. Along the way, you may encounter Disruptive Moments, powerful narrative interludes that spotlight conservation messages and invite you to pledge your commitment to protect nature and wildlife.
