Why visit Omni-Theatre
Omni-Theatre is a dome-screen theatre located next to Science Centre Singapore. It offers immersive educational films on a massive curved screen, including planetarium shows that project the night sky across the entire dome.
Unlike standard cinemas, Omni-Theatre uses a wraparound screen that fills your field of vision. You sit reclined, looking up at the dome, which creates the sensation of being inside the scene. It is one of only a few dome-screen theatres in Singapore.
What makes Omni-Theatre distinctive
- Dome screen: The curved screen covers a 180-degree field of view. Seats are reclined so the screen fills your entire peripheral vision.
- Planetarium shows: The theatre projects the night sky onto the dome, with guided narration about constellations, planets, and space exploration.
- Educational films: The regular film programme covers space, nature, science, and exploration topics. Shows run 30 to 45 minutes.
- Immersive sound: Multi-channel surround sound creates a 3D audio experience that matches the visual dome.
Who Omni-Theatre suits best
Good for:
- Families with school-age children aged 5 and above.
- Children interested in space, astronomy, and science.
- A midday reset between Science Centre activities.
- Adults who enjoy documentary-style films without the distractions of a standard cinema.
Not ideal for:
- Toddlers and very young children. The content and the dark, loud environment can be overwhelming.
- Visitors who get motion sickness from tilted seating and wraparound visuals.

Omni-Theatre requires a separate ticket from Science Centre general admission. Tickets are S$12 for adults and S$8 for children aged 3 to 12. Science Centre members get discounted rates. Shows run on a fixed schedule. Check the official Omni-Theatre page for current showtimes.
