Diggersite

Diggersite at ORTO

While it calls itself an edutainment centre, we are going to take the liberty to call it a “museum”. After all, Diggersite has a collection of small-scale construction machinery. And it’s not just for looking at – visitors can try operating the equipment. Put on a hard hat and a high visibility vest and get behind the controls. Take note that Diggersite is only open on weekends and public holidays.

Fort Siloso

Spend some time exploring the tunnels and guns at Fort Siloso, Singapore’s only preserved coastal fort.
