History and Evolution of Snow City

Snow City Singapore was launched in 2000, and it was intended to be an indoor winter wonderland in Singapore. Constructed of top-quality refrigeration and environmentally friendly insulation, it provides a consistent snowy environment throughout the year. Snow City maintains a large snow chamber with fresh snow produced regularly, such as 12 cubic metres every 24 hours. 

Why Snow City Was Built: Education Meets Entertainment

The attraction was also designed to be both recreational and educational in science. School groups and families come to understand information about climate change, the Arctic and the Ice formation. This made it one of the popular places to visit in Singapore for both fun and learning.

• Timings: 10 AM to 5 PM on weekdays (closed Mondays) and 10 AM to 6 PM on weekends, school holidays, and public holidays.
