Spanning 350 meters, Sentosa Sensoryscape offers a unique garden walkway experience between Beach and Imbiah stations. Departing from conventional green paths, it incorporates interactive zones and augmented reality to present Sentosa in a fresh light.
Entry is FREE for Sentosa Sensoryscape
Before visiting Sentosa Sensoryscape, keep in mind that while admission to the attraction is free, there are fees to enter Sentosa Island, starting from $4 for standard entry via Sentosa Express or $2-$6 if arriving by car or taxi.
Given that Sentosa Sensoryscape is entirely outdoors, it’s advisable to dress comfortably for the weather and consider bringing an umbrella or raincoat in case of rain.
Inspired by the human senses, Sentosa Sensoryscape features six zones that seamlessly blend nature with architecture. There are six sensory gardens: Lookout Loop, Tactile Trellis, Scented Sphere, Symphony Streams, Palate Playground and Glow Garden. Each zone corresponds to one of the five senses – sight, touch, taste, smell, and sound – with an additional “sixth sense” catering to imagination through an AR-powered experience accessible via the ImagiNite app.
Unlike typical nature parks, Sentosa Sensoryscape encourages intimate interactions with plants in three of its zones, offering a more immersive experience. Highlights include Symphony Streams, where mesmerizing light installations and the sound of water create a captivating atmosphere, and Tactile Trellis, which invites visitors to feel the textures of various plants.
