Former Ford Factory – lake district

Very friendly staff n beautiful green surroundings. However, felt displays could have included more visual elements to supplement the information. Was hoping to see actual or lookalike WWII items such as equipment used or uniforms, transmitter radios n such. My friend felt lighting could be improved for some pictures in the mid section. Overall, decent effort but could be more engaging or dramatic visually.

Interesting, well curated and informative exhibition. Well-presented, accurate in date order. Well worth a visit! The Art Deco building is also stunning.

Extremely informative. I would recommend you take your child here. It gives them a good idea of the fight for freedom. The exhibitions here are historically accurate. I liked that they had a different and unique theme for different parts of the museum. They made it interactive learning but it is currently closed due to COVID-19. They have also paid respects to soldiers from different cultures and ethnicities. They have planted a war garden which shows all the plants they used during the war. Overall, I really loved this place and would definitely recommend for you to visit.

Amazing unknown and hidden museum of Singapore. Great overview of Singapore before and during the war. Events are described rather objectively and there is much to learn in every section. Great location in the old Ford Factory. Highly recommend !

Great place for anyone looking to learn about Singapore's place in WWII. It has a lot of information and even stuff like the setting for the British surrender of Singapore to the Japanese in 1942. Lots of info about what life was like for the locals. Also it isn't too graphic (which some war museums can be) so you can take the kids.

A great place to learn about Singapore history when our forefathers suffered under the incompetence of the British and the oppression and cruelty of the Japanese. Peace and prosperity shouldn’t be taken for granted and we can only rely upon ourselves to secure and maintain what we currently enjoy. Luv the tiles they use in the toilet and yes, u do need those jackets in these freezing rooms!

Informative museum with much historical value. Free admission for locals. Quiet and peaceful place. Not much people around when i went so could really go through the exhibitions without being distracted. The secondary exhibition wasn’t that interesting though. Felt like it was social studies in school all over again. Overall, a good place to learn and immerse oneself in Singapore’s history. Extremely peaceful as well with the greenery and quietness.

Day of visit : Thursday (School Holiday) Time : 2.45pm We were the only visitors when we arrived. There's an activity card for kids to attempt.... once done, exchange for a gift (we got a bag) Free entry for SG an PR Free parking Besides the interesting exhibits, this place has some nice photo-taking spots.

Wonderful WWII museum located at the old site where Singapore surrendered to the Japanese on 15 February 1942. Not crowded and very educational and eye-opening.

Memories at the Old Ford Factory serves a reminder about Singapore's vulnerable past when Britain surrendered the former colony to Japanese Imperial Army on 15 February 1942. This gazetted National Monument is a great live history lesson for locals and tourists alike who is keen to learn the devastation of war on livelihood of Singapore at that time. Kudos to National Archives of Singapore and National Heritage Board for the amazing World War II immersion to recreate the experience of how hard life was under Japanese occupation.
