What do you do with an old, disused monorail station? Convert it into a gallery, of course!

The Sentosa Nature Discovery gallery occupies one of the old stations of the previous Sentosa monorail line which was discontinued in March 2005. The old Sentosa Monorail ran in a loop through seven stations from the old Ferry Terminal (now within Resorts World Sentosa), around to Fort Siloso and to the beaches and back to the Ferry Terminal.

Some of the monorail stations have been repurposed. One is now the Surrender Chambers at Fort Siloso, and another is the Sentosa Nature Discovery gallery.

Overview of Sentosa Nature Discovery

The Gallery provides an introduction to the eight natural habits found on Sentosa. These habitats range from coastal forests to rocky seashores to secondary forests and parklands.

Different types of barks

There are also various hands-on exhibits found under the sloped roof of the gallery. For example, you can touch and feel a variety of rocks and tree barks.

Listening station

To hone listening skills, an activity station plays back birdsong.
