Singapore's first indoor snow facility, located in Jurong, will end its 26-year run.

To mark the final months, a public farewell campaign titled "One Last Snowfall" will run from June to September 2026.

During the campaign, ticket prices will be reduced to S$19 for adults and S$16 for children, down from standard rates of S$27 and S$23.

The promotional packages include one hour of snow play and a bumper car ride.

Strategic Realignment

The Science Centre Board stated the closure reflects a long-term strategy to expand STEM education initiatives.

The shifting leisure market in Singapore has increased competition, pressuring older indoor-themed attractions to balance rising operational costs with educational goals.

Eight full-time employees affected by the shutdown will receive transition support. This includes internal redeployment opportunities within the organization.

Workers who choose to leave will receive career transition assistance and severance packages aligned with Ministry of Manpower guidelines.
