Geneo Mall at Singapore Science Park is a new hub that is directly connected with sheltered access to Kent Ridge MRT Station. Part of the larger Geneo development, the mall has an expansive atrium that looks simply stunning as well as retail and dining options that make it a spot worth exploring.
The Geneo mall is part of the Singapore Science Park’s latest life science-focused precinct with a mini city concept. Geneo gets its name from an amalgamation of two words “Gen” and “Neo”, a nod towards the precinct’s aim to foster the next generation of innovators.
Geneo Mall at Science Park
Geneo Mall encompasses 39,000 sq ft of retail and dining experiences across three levels – the bottom level which is known as Basement 2 and two above ground, the first of which is Basement 1 and above that is Level 1.

One of the most striking features of the mall is the event plaza which incorporates a 300-person amphitheatre.
The event plaza has a soaring ceiling and it is fitted out with lush plants that add a sense of nature to the space. The louvred glass canopy is supported by impressive 25 m tall timber structures.
The timber structures accentuate the huge ceiling and make it feel especially grand. It is almost as if you have stepped into a huge and expansive cathedral.
It is a spot where people can buy their food and sit down to enjoy it in the open-air, sheltered area.
This part of the mall also serves as an event space.
Geneo Mall Food and Dining Options
The Geneo Mall food options range from casual spots where you can get something quick to eat as well as sit-down restaurants for those who do not mind taking a longer meal.
The Geneo restaurants are spread over all three levels of the mall.
The Basement 2 is where you will find the most casual eateries.
These include a Korean food outlet with seating, Ha-Jun Korean.
Just next to Ha-Jun Korean is YGF Malatang.
Another food option is the Pasta Express counter.
There is also a Toast Box in the basement.
Other food stores include Grains & Co. (which sells wraps), a fruit stall, and BreadTalk.
For those who are arriving early and want to get a grab-and-go breakfast, the BreadTalk has breakfast burgers.
The basement is also where you can take the underground passage to Kent Ridge MRT Station. If you are coming from Kent Ridge MRT (or Basement 1 of One@Kent Ridge), head towards Exit E.
Restaurants at Geneo
Putien and Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe are located on the first overground level, ie. Basement 1. They can be found next to the grand atrium.

There is also a food court, Makan Street, on the opposite side of the Atrium from Putien and Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe.
One floor above at Level 1, there are more food outlets such as Olive & Peach, which sells sandwiches, as well as Subway and Xi Men Jie.
Coffee options include Luckin Coffee and Fun Toast.
Here is a tip. If you are looking for an alternative sit-down coffee spot, there is Bub Coffee, at the Shoppee building next door.
Coming soon at Level 1 is a Swensen’s outlet that looks like it will be offering the Swensen’s Unlimited Buffet, just like the outlets at Changi Airport Terminal 2 and VivoCity. And kids below 5 get to dine for free!
Retail Shops at Geneo Mall
There aren’t that many retail shops inside the Geneo Mall.
Amongst the few is an eyewear shop and there will be a MiniSo opening as well.
There is also a fitness gym, BFT, located within Geneo Mall.
For more of your shopping needs, you will have to head across the street (or under the street if you are taking the underpass) to One @ Kent Ridge mall.
Exploring Geneo
Another spot that you can visit while at Geneo is the outdoor garden known as Seed. It features paths that wind amongst ponds and shows off a variety of plant species.
It is designed with a ginger theme to creates an immersive sensory experience. You can explore a spectrum of colors, fragrances, and textures provided by gingers and their botanical relatives at this outdoor garden.
Venture further towards to the rest of the office buildings at Geneo and you will find an outdoor fitness area. Next to the fitness area, there are a couple of bench swings.
For those who wish to get a dose of nature, Kent Ridge Park is a walk away.
Placemaking Programme at Geneo
You can also look forward to interesting events being held at Geneo throughout the year. There will be programmes that champion innovation, discovery, and community engagement organised by Singapore Science Park.
For example, from 25 to 27 April 2025, Geneo will hosting the Flavours of Tomorrow Festival, a future food showcase where visitors can experience cutting edge food innovation through curated tasting menus, interactive demonstrations, and vibrant live performances designed for all ages.
These programme aim to establish Singapore Science Park as a thriving hub where science, technology, and community converge in exciting and meaningful ways.
