We walked here from our hotel with no expectations and were blown away. The bunker is a must see for history buffs, especially if you are interested in Singapore during WWII. I am puzzled by the comments about the difficulty of online booking. The 6 of us walked up and had no trouble getting in nor in understanding the exhibits, which were awesome! It was a good complement to the National Museum across the street from this exhibit.

The staff are extremely helpful and guide you though the process of downloading the audio guide. They ask for a small donation - starting at $5 for the audio guide. I very much enjoyed the audio guide. The bunker has 12 rooms which have props and information on the wall. It is very well kept and very very interesting. Overall this one was one of the best things I did in Singapore. Definitely worth the $5 for the audio guide. Just make sure you bring headphones.

Found the history fascinating and the dioramas and self guided audio guide was excellent. We couldn’t find any tours and the only information online said you must have a guided tour. This is wrong. They offer the self guided audio by donation (asking for S$5, S$10 or S$50). You must go to Fort Canning Park and walk to the Battlebox. There, you will be helped. They have a small gift shop too. Well worth seeing.

Absolutely amazing. We got a little history lesson from Raymond before we entered. So knowledgeable. We were so grateful. It’s a great experience. From the time you walk down the steps until you exit. The settings and memorabilia are so good. If only those walls could talk. I have been to many jails and historical places including Alcatraz. This is the best yet. Be sure to do guide if you can afford otherwise the audio is great too but make sure you read the info in each room. Lots more to learn. Keep your eye out for the Japenese writing on the walls. Just amazing!

Battlebox is an historical self guided tour, of the bunker at Fort Canning Hill in the park. My husband and I enjoy history, and he particularly likes War stuff, but this is a lot about Singapore and how it 'came to be' the way it is. You can take a self guided audio tour of this historical war bunker, occupied by the British on their failed mission to protect and hold Singapore. At the first sign of trouble they capitulated, but you'll find out all about the lilly livered, girly officers here, and what happened, and what they 'endured'. Its a shame they didn't have more guts. (Shame they weren't Australian). It was fascinating, and honest and real, with real stuff still in the tunnels and bunkers, that seems like you're back in the past. VERY worth it and very well done.

The Battlebox exhibit on Fort Canning is an extremely well done museum space telling important Singaporean and British World War Two history. The site is closed Monday and Tuesday, but open the rest of the week for both free and paid tours of the site. The audio tour and signage is very well done, and deserving of top marks. The site of the British military leadership when the decision to surrender Singapore, the well maintained (or refurbished) bunker tells a compelling tale.

I visited a few years ago, and it was one of the best museum visits I have ever had. We had a young guide who told us so much about the background to these events and the reasons why things turned out as they did. Now, there is only an audio guide that just gives the basics, but it is still worth a visit. The dummy occupants are very well done and bring the place to life.

This is a must for anyone interested in the history of Singapore and/or World War II. The audio tour is well done and worth the extra cost for the enhanced experience. The location, Ft Canning Park, seems a worthwhile destination to explore as well! The grounds are lovely and the paths well marked.

I have been here before, several year ago and thought it was excellent so wanted to take my partner to show him. I found the website clunky and hard to navigate and the booking of tickets tedious. The site itself is terrific but the audio units are awful. The booking portal implied that you needed to bring your own headphones ie that you would use your own units however on arrival - we were given a small audio unit -these were truly awful - mine actually did not match the displays - at one point, I asked my husband what I should be listening to as it did not match what was in front of me. He said track 11 and I played track 11 which he was listening to for the room we were in and my track 11 was actually for the next room, I needed to listen to track 9 (or whatever) even though we were both in front of the same display ie my numbers didn't match. The units are far more complicated than they need to be and really need to be checked after each usage as to get a message on your unit (as mine did) when trying to find the right track, that says "erase all data" is really inappropriate. I think this is a great attraction and I really like it but the surrounding supports need to be brough up to par.

We were in Singapore for a week and a friend recommended this visit. Set at Fort Channing it is easily accessible by underground. The gardens themselves are worth a visit and it’s the only park I ever visited with an escalator. The staff at battle box are very friendly and helpful. They ensure that you have access to the audio before giving yo7 access to the bunker where allied forces were commanded before the fall of Singapore to the Japanese. Historically interesting, the mannequins are a bit weird but well worth a visit.
