The Singapore Science Center is one of the most frequently visited tourist site of Singapore. The cost of the scientific center was around S$12 million and was inaugurated in the year 1997 on the 10th of December by the Minister of Science Centre Board, Dr Toh Chin Chye.The reason of its construction was to have a center that would display the exhibits that were related to science, which were previously an integral part of the National Museum of Singapore, so that the National Museum could emerge as a museum that would display exhibits that are of great historical significance.

This idea of setting up a separate center was put forward by the Science Council of Singapore in the year 1969 and this idea got the support of the government of Singapore. The government of Singapore looked at this prospect as a step to promote the subject of science and Raymond Woo was given the charge for the construction of this science center.
