Har Par Villa and Science Center

Har Par Villa and Science Center
I think people will laugh at us when they heard that we was planning to go there!

Built in 1937 by the entrepreneurial and charismatic Aw Boon Haw for his brother Boon Par, Haw Par Villa is the quintessential house of Chinese folklore. Described by various visitors as "fascinating, delightful, bizarre and entertaining", Haw Par Villa is like no other place in the world.Twenty-five clusters of original statues and figurines replicate Chinese mythology characters like the Laughing Buddha and the Fu Lu Shou (Taoist deities).

Happy Vesak Day!

Our entrance tickets to the 10 Courts of Hell. Each ticket cost us $1.

A must-see exhibit is the Ten Courts of Hell, featuring the ten steps of judgement before reincarnation. Literal and leaving nothing to the imagination, the statues and sets immortalise moral values and Chinese cultural heritage for generations to come.

Next, we are off to the Science Center!

We purchased the 2 in 1 package - Science Centre and 40 minutes IMAX movie. It cost $12.80 per adult.
