About Wonder World
Wonder World is the Machine of Nostalgia, a magical amusement park from the 1950’s transported through time to help instil a sense of belonging. The amusement parks of the 1950’s was used as a utopian setting where people could seek comfort and escape from the day-to-day grind. Special to Singapore’s cultural heritage, the amusement parks that captivated visitors in the 1950’s were more than fun attractions, they were worlds within themselves that provided spaces for ordinary people to follow their curiosities and aspire to a brighter and grand vision of tomorrow. The purpose of Wonder World is to recapture the spectacular atmosphere of the great trio of “world amusement parks” from yesteryear Singapore.
But simultaneously, within Wonder World, visitors are encouraged to ask themselves what fuels the Machine of Nostalgia and our longing for “simpler and better times''. The amusement park experience seeks to unravel the concept and our application of heritage to the future - a technologically advanced, culturally diverse, and interconnected city of today. In the age of remakes, remasters, and throwbacks, we invite visitors to look beyond the parts that we usually see. To reignite that sense of imagination and wonder in discovering new modes of fun but with meaningful excitement. Wonder World: The Machine of Nostalgia transports people back through time to investigate the very concept of nostalgia, and how it helps instil a sense of belonging and identity amidst the pursuit of life and our dreams.
Each ticket admits one person and entitles one to a pre-loaded card containing 10 credits which is to be redeemed exclusively onsite at Wonder World, and can be used for various activities including rides and game.

Reseñas
¡Un evento súper divertido! Mis amigos y yo nos divertimos mucho el último día, el espectáculo de magia fue genial y no había demasiada gente.
My kids had fun but the fair is pretty small. only 2 rides for kids and 1 for adult. Queues for some of the popular games are pretty long and it’s not quite easy to score
Nostalgic experience! We enjoyed ourselves! It would be better if the game stations have prizes instead of stamps to redeem things ;)
wonder world is small and nothing much can do inside. $25 with only 10 tokens literally can’t exchange any great gift.
At $25 per person, it’s extremely expensive for 2 rides. how is this justified?
Pasé un tiempo tan maravilloso en Wonder World que no pude resistirme a volver, ¡y estoy muy feliz de haberlo hecho! Las nuevas atracciones y puestos fueron fantásticos, y las descripciones adicionales de las obras realmente profundizaron mi apreciación por la creatividad detrás de todo. ¡Me encanta! <3
¡Divertido y con buen ambiente! Aunque las colas eran un poco largas y la feria era un poco pequeña. Pero en general, sigue siendo algo que recomendaría. Pague con Samsung Pay en el lugar / pase de estudiante en Klook para obtener $ 5 de descuento.
Fue una gran experiencia que se recuperó fácilmente. Recomiendo visitar esta exposición antes de que cierre.
Una experiencia bastante interesante que intenta incorporar elementos nostálgicos. Incluso tiene personajes del pasado caminando por ahí.
Me decepcionó bastante el carnaval. Solo había dos atracciones. Los juegos eran difíciles (de ganar). A 25 dólares por boleto (con 10 fichas incluidas), me pareció muy caro. Si el precio fuera de 10 dólares, creo que las expectativas serían menores.
