Interesting place to visit. Some good exhibition items. Probably not the thing you drag along your (smaller) kids to visit.

The battlebox at fort canning was where the British army had underground bunkers during world war 2. The organised tour which takes 2 hours is excellent & explains why there was no option for general Percival except to surrender to the Japanese. There are mannequins of various people and several short videos. Definitely worth a visit

This was one of our last activities and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide was excellent, so engaging and clearly had a passion for sharing the history of the Battlebox. We left more informed, and would thoroughly recommend this to any visitor to Singapore.

Found the Battlebox for my partner as he loves war history, however I don't think you have to be a history buff to do this as I found it all to be really interesting. I highly recommend the 2hr tour - the time just flew by and the guide we had was excellent. He was very informative, friendly and enthusiastic which made the tour awesome. Definitely glad I did this!
