I quite enjoyed my visit to Fort Siloso. It's an old military installation built to defend Singapore harbour, though ironically the guns had to be turned inland when the Japanese invaded from Malaya in WW2. The exhibition consists of various tunnel complexes, bunkers and gun installations with some mannequins and information about the history of the complex. As you'd expect... More

This was a great attraction. The tour guide on the WW2 replica bus was fantastic and very passionate about the story behind Fort Siloso. Once at the top you walk through the history of the fort as it tells you about the many changes it has gone through. In addition to the fascinating history there are spectacular views of Singapore.... More

the fort,but not the beach, offers a great deal of history telling and many photo-taking opportunity. Ironically they are just a stone throw apart and a vast difference in colors. More

Fort Siloso is one of the best historical site in Singapore. It has a biggest collection of British Army memorabillia, gun emplacements, bunkers, military tunnels. It chronicles the life of an imperial british soldier from the late 19th century to mid 20th century. I like the fact that each section of the fort is color coded. This means it is... More

I was under the impression that this would be a classic fort. Rather it is quite a few small buildings and sites spread out on a hill at the end of Sentosa Island. As a history buff I was interested and learned some things, but to be honest my colleagues (we were in Singapore over a weekend) were not so... More
