The take

The Maritime and Port Authority's gallery on the pier's second level covers port heritage and operations, and lets you take the helm in a ship-handling simulator. The ferry counter for Kusu and St John's is downstairs, so it's an easy add before an island trip.

Before you go

Are there free tours at the Singapore Maritime Gallery?

Yes, volunteers lead a complimentary session, Tides of Time: Exploring Singapore's Maritime Story, on selected weekends, and you sign up on the MPA's page. Individuals can also book public tours of Singapore Maritime Discoveries there, while schools and corporate groups arrange private tours with the gallery.

How do I get to the Singapore Maritime Gallery without a car?

Take Marina South Pier MRT (NS28) Exit B, since the MPA encourages public transport and parking at the pier is limited. If you do drive, alternative parking is at Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, and bus 400 from there or a 10 to 12 minute walk along the sheltered linkway reaches the gallery. It sits on Level 2 of the pier building.

Is the Singapore Maritime Gallery open on Monday public holidays?

Yes, the gallery is closed on Mondays except public holidays, so a Monday holiday is a day it opens. Otherwise it opens Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 6pm, and admission is free. The ferry counter for Kusu and St John's is downstairs, so a Monday holiday works for an island trip too.
