Sentosa Sensoryscape is a 350-metre-long connector that’s dotted with six sensory gardens and an immersive night experience. Spanning 30,000 square metres, Sentosa Sensoryscape links the north of Sentosa island (where the Resorts World Sentosa is) to the beaches on the south.
There are six themed areas along the connector along an upper and a lower deck; Lookout Loop, Tactile Trellis, Scented Sphere, Symphony Streams, Palate Playground, and Glow Garden. As the names suggest, these gardens were designed to engage all five senses – including a sixth one, your imagination.
Nature and architecture come together in each of these gardens, which have intricate structures of woven metal complemented by lush plants and the sounds of nature. But the real magic happens at night, when a unique ImagiNite experience comes alive to tell a seamless story across Sentosa Sensoryscape through interactive floor projections, augmented reality, and light shows. The ImagiNite experience (multi-media light shows) happen nightly from 7.50pm to 9.40pm.
I would prefer the projections to end a little later (like at 11pm) especially on weekends. They are ending a bit too early currently. A key part of the light projection is the AR-powered experience featuring interactive video projections in 2 zones, Symphony Streams and Scented Spheres, accessible through a free ImagiNite app.
By the way, this is part of the area where the previous large Merlion statue on the Sentosa Island was demolished to make way for this new development (if you can recall). I actually visited this Sentosa Sensoryscape once on last Thursday’s evening after work and then again on yesterday’s evening. Haha…the place do look beautiful. Here are some of the images I took:
Beautiful, isn’t it? I think only Singapore could have such creative thought on designing and building these kind of attractions.
I felt like I was a kid again when I was wondering around the misting light-up floor on the lower deck at Lookout Loop and when I was walking through several floor projections on the upper deck where my steps could trigger certain beautiful animations (that follow along with my footsteps). Some few more pictures I took around the Sentosa Island away from the Sentosa Sensoryscape area before leaving the place.
You can visit the Sentosa Sensoryscape during the day too but I’m sure it just won’t be as mesmerizing as during the evening when the light projections are on. Also it is super hot if you are going during the day (especially with recent extremely hot weather).
