This Mid-Autumn Festival, join us for a magical evening where science meets culture beneath the stars.

Embark on our Celestial Trail, an educational walk that winds between Japanese Garden and Science Centre Singapore, guiding you through the wonders of the cosmos at every step. And for one night only, experience our electrifying Silent Disco, where lights, music, and DJs transform our science galleries into a cosmic dance party — complete with a Silent Disco Moonwalk under the stars.
The festivities don't stop there. Catch a special mid-autumn edition of our live dome planetarium show for just $4 and enjoy free popcorn as you soak in the atmosphere. Treat yourself to limited edition mid-autumn beverages and round off your evening with late-night dining at Science Centre's F&B outlets. Whether you're here for science, the culture, or simply a night to remember, this is one celebration you won't want to miss.
Moonstruck 2026 – Watermarks of the Moon
đź“… 25 and 26 September 2026
đź“ŤGuesthouse, Japanese Garden
⏰6:30pm, 8pm (2 sessions)
Step inside the Guesthouse and enter another world. Watermarks of the Moon transforms this soaring timber-roofed space into an imagined lunar chamber — where a great circle adorns the wall as the moon, cascading cloth strips evoke waterfalls, and long winding lines trace a river across the floor.
Drawing on Japanese aesthetics, Asian shadow play, and an ambient liquid soundscape, this intimate 30-minute wellness performance is designed to feel like a private showing made just for you — a completely mesmerising moment of calm, away from the world outside. Look out for the whimsical shadow play of dancing figures cast against a retractable screen, and an intergenerational cast of seniors, youths, and professional dancers who bring this magical lunar world to life.
