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.

Avis
événement super amusant ! Mes amis et moi nous sommes bien amusés le dernier jour, le spectacle de magie était super cool et il n'y avait pas trop de monde
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?
J'ai passé un moment tellement incroyable à Wonder World que je n'ai pas pu résister à l'envie d'y retourner, et je suis si heureuse de l'avoir fait ! Les nouvelles attractions et les nouveaux stands étaient géniaux, et les descriptions supplémentaires des travaux ont vraiment approfondi mon appréciation de la créativité derrière tout cela. J'adore ça ! <3
amusant et animé ! bien que les files d'attente étaient un peu longues et que la foire était légèrement petite. mais dans l'ensemble, c'est toujours quelque chose que je recommanderais ! payez avec Samsung Pay sur place / pass étudiant sur klook pour obtenir 5 $ de réduction.
C'était une expérience formidable avec un échange facile. Je recommande de visiter cette exposition avant sa fermeture.
une expérience plutôt cool qui essaie d'incorporer des éléments nostalgiques. Il y a même des personnages du passé qui se promènent
J'ai été assez déçue par le carnaval. Il n'y avait que 2 manèges. Les jeux étaient difficiles (à gagner). À 25 $ le billet (avec 10 jetons inclus), j'ai trouvé cela très cher. Si le prix était de 10 $, je pense que les attentes seraient revues à la baisse.
