The Story of Studio Ghibli Wonderland Is Coming to Singapore — Here's Everything You Need to Know
Calling all Ghibli fans — Totoro, No-Face, and the Catbus are making their way to Singapore! The Story of Studio Ghibli, the immersive exhibition that first debuted in Shanghai, is set to open at Gardens by the Bay on 18 December 2026. This marks its first Southeast Asian stop! And in true Ghibli fashion, the Singapore edition isn't just a smaller regional stop — it's set to be the largest presentation of the exhibition to date.
Tickets are officially on sale now, with Klook as the Official Ticketing Partner! Here's everything you need to know before you go.
What is The Story of Studio Ghibli?
The Story of Studio Ghibli is a walk-through immersive exhibition covering nearly 3,500 square metres, featuring 12 life-sized recreated worlds inspired by some of Studio Ghibli's most beloved films — including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and The Boy and the Heron.
Produced by TSUKURU, INC. and M Experience, the exhibition goes beyond static displays — expect interactive multimedia installations throughout that put you right in the middle of each scene, alongside several world-first experiences making their debut here in Singapore.

What to Expect Inside the Exhibition
1) Meet the Ohmu from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Come face-to-face with the majestic (and massive) Ohmu, one of the most iconic creatures from Studio Ghibli's earliest works. It's a striking way to kick off your journey through the exhibition's 12 worlds.
2) Wait for the Cat Bus Beside Totoro
Step into the world of My Neighbor Totoro and stand right next to the beloved forest spirit himself as you wait for the Cat Bus to roll by — one of the most nostalgic, photo-worthy moments in the exhibition for longtime fans.
3) Step Inside a World-First, 8-Metre Spirited Away Bathhouse
The headline attraction of the exhibition is undoubtedly the world's first eight-metre-tall three-dimensional recreation of the iconic Spirited Away bathhouse. Wander through its bustling boiler room and imagine Kamaji hard at work among his endless drawers, before continuing through the mysterious, lantern-lit streets that Chihiro once wandered.
4) Push Open the Bakery Door from Kiki's Delivery Service
Begin your very own delivery journey by stepping through the wooden door of the Guchokipanya bakery from Kiki's Delivery Service — a charming, smaller-scale moment tucked between the exhibition's larger set pieces.
5) Discover World-First Immersive Experiences
Beyond the film-inspired sets, the exhibition also features multiple world-first immersive experiences, with interactive multimedia installations designed to place you at the centre of the story rather than just looking in from the outside.
Combine Your Visit with Gardens by the Bay
Since the exhibition takes place right at Gardens by the Bay, it's worth turning your visit into a full day out. Consider pairing your Studio Ghibli tickets with a visit to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome for a day that mixes Ghibli's fantasy worlds with Gardens by the Bay's real-life botanical wonders — a fitting combo, considering how much Ghibli's films draw from nature themselves.
Why This Exhibition Is a Big Deal for Fans
Studio Ghibli, founded in 1985 by Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and Toshio Suzuki, has spent decades telling stories that centre on kindness, courage, and respect for nature — themes that continue to resonate across generations. Spirited Away alone took home the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, while The Boy and the Heron swept the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Academy Award in 2024.
With Singapore serving as the exhibition's first Southeast Asian stop — and its largest presentation yet — this is a rare chance for fans across the region to step into these worlds in person, without a flight to Japan or Shanghai.
Ready to Step Into the World of Studio Ghibli?
Whether you grew up waiting for your own Catbus or you're discovering these films for the first time, The Story of Studio Ghibli promises a nostalgic, larger-than-life journey through some of animation's most beloved worlds.
