The Battlebox

The Battlebox isn't like any other museum. Because it's a former subterranean military bunker, artifacts and multimedia will show you how British soldiers decided to surrender Singapore to the invading Japanese during WWII. What began as a top-secret bunker and hub for British espionage soon became a forgotten piece of history after the war. However, following its re-discovery in the 1980s, the bunker-turned-museum reopened in 1997, welcoming curious visitors to take a closer look. Upon entering the Battlebox, you must participate in a 30-minute guided tour, following which you are free to explore the bunker.

By the way, there's no need to be concerned about the museum being overcrowded because the number of visitors each time slot is strictly regulated. This museum is better appropriate for a mature audience due to the tour's historical content. While children are welcome here, parents with strollers and PWDs should be aware that there is one flight of stairs to navigate while entering and exiting the Battlebox. Inside the bunker, however, wheelchairs are accessible for use.
