Asia’s first full-scale living bioluminescence exhibition, Glowing Oceans, opens on 3 November 2026, featuring live dinoflagellates and inviting guests to wade through glowing water, swirl live dinoflagellates at the touch tanks, and see the real science behind the living light up close.
Key highlights:
– Lagoon: Glowing Oceans’ signature experience where guests can step into a living body of water and watch the water ignite beneath their feet, leaving a breathtaking trail of vibrant sapphire-blue bioluminescent light.
– Touch tables: Guests get hands-on with nature’s glow as they dip their hands into specialised touch tables, gently swirl the water, and see how thousands of living dinoflagellates respond instantly to their touch.
– Dimitri’s Desk: Step into the field laboratory of a real marine biology researcher, examine field instruments, explore lab notes, and discover how deep-sea glowing creatures use light to camouflage, communicate and find one another in the dark.
– Darwin’s Cover: Travel back in time and learn how Charles Darwin first witnessed the wonder of bioluminescent dinoflagellates through engaging, interactive storytelling.
From interactive wet experiences with living dinoflagellates to captivating displays that bring nature’s own light show to life, guests get to explore both the real science and the magic behind the glow.
