" Definitely a great visit not only for tourist but for locals. Brought my relatives from Canada and it was a great time of sharing for my uncle who had lived through those times and my cousin who had never lived in Asia.
19 April 2018Very well set up. Staff a little too serious though.
Still.. highly recommended! "

" A nice museum to learn about overseas Chinese heritage, with detail explanation of how overseas Chinese used to live, what inside of Chinese house from the past, etc. I really the way they use audio tour guide which we can play it in every room for the explanation. However, this museum is quite small. So, everything inside is quite packed. "

" Second time I've visited over the years. This museum is very impressive and teaches me a lot about the Singapore of yesteryear that my mum grew up in. Audio tour is comprehensive, well voiced, and perfectly paced and there is a ton of stuff to see. I estimate it takes 2-3 hours to read every placard at every exhibit. Gift shop didn't have anything special. Well worth the time and price. "

" Really good museum with focus of life in the 1950s in Chinatown. Even though the museum is small its packed with many items to see. Its main focus is on the types of people there rather than how they came to be there or how the overcrowding occurred which is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Its a fascinating look into how things were in Singapore back in the day. Well worth a look of you are in Chinatown "

" Mascara warning, if you've any sensitivity then seeing how hard life was not too long ago for some people should tug at your heart strings.
28 January 2018It is very informative and interesting with the help of the audio guide, not something that i would ordinarily partake in. The reproduction seems to be very good.
Stand in the doorway of the room of the family of 2 adults and 6 kids and think about it... "

" I spent a surprising amount of time wandering around this museum. It offers a very interesting and educational first person perspective of life for early Chinatown settlers. I highly recommend the audio tour. "

" I am very interested in social history and the Chinatown Heritage Centre was an education. Reconstructions of the living areas were fascinating and really brought the struggles and successes of the Chinese Immigrants into reality. The audio guide makes the experience even more poignant. No shortage of excellent eateries nearby. "

" Must go in singapore. Convenient location. Cheap souvenirs compare to tourism parks if you don't mind too much about the quality. A bit dirty though. Exchange money in a place call CK has great exchange rate see photo. "

" A small museum that depicts how immigrants to Singapore lived in early 1900s. I’m very thankful to live in conditions so much better than them. The museum also has exhibition on life at Chinatown and other aspects. Interesting facts and photos/dioramas. "

" Lovely staff and a really fun multimedia tour. A bit expensive as Singapore museums go, especially since it is not a huge exhibit, but enjoyable and informative nonetheless. "

" A very interesting museum! The first part of the exhibition is a wonderful recreation of the life inside a shop house. Do not miss it "

" A great interacitive tour about the history of how chinese immigrants arrived in Singapore and the lives they had while here. You get a nice little tablet running an app that'll lead you through all exhibits with an audio guide. "

" Wow, what an amazing museum! I cannot praise this place enough! It is such a gem. The exhibition is extremely well curated and the antiques very well protected. The staff members are extremely friendly. You need a good hour for the first two floors, and you need another 30-45 minutes for the last floor. "

" This place was absolutely amazing. The multimedia used was not without flaws but, man, you would really know that a lot of thought and work were put behind creating an audiovisual and tactile experience that would allow the visitor to be pulled in and to walk through what life must have been like for immigrants in early Chinatown and to understand how hard it had truly been. By the end of the tour, that fee you'd paid at the entrance? You'd know it was worth it. "

" As time goes by ... Singapore River 1981. Lots of changes, yes, but the 'Singapore model' is said to be the key factor behind political stability, economic growth, and harmonious social order in this worldfamous city. Due to private ownership museum' s entrance fee might be slightly higher. Visit worthwhile though! "

" Highly overrated place. We did not enjoy the visit as it was not well presented and could not hold our interest for long. We recommend you can give a miss to this place. "

" It's a bit pricey compared to other museums because this museum is privately owned.
21 January 2017But the exhibits makes it worth it.
Wish thy will have more promotional price for their ticket especially for revisit. Would like to visit again.
Lots of photo opportunities. "

" Very interesting. Once we step in, we travel back in time. I also live we can take our time to enjoy every detail, sit in the rooms as if we were a family member of the original "

" It is the best place to explore chinatown. From here you will know how Chinese come and live in Singapore. So everybody make a visit over here. "
07 January 2017Warren Choo
" If you love to know and learn about the history of Chinatown, this is the place you should be visiting. Although there is a entrance fee, but the knowledge and experience is worth in (in my own context). They also have a counter for local design souvenirs. "

" You wouldn't find here only an amazing, well documented and cosy museum, but the most willing and prepared staff that added to my short stay in Singapore, an unforgettable desire of coming back. "
21 October 2016Alon Cohen
" This place takes some time to adjust to, but it has a unique and interesting way to convey life in the China Town neighborhood back in the days. A lot of thought and detail have been put to this place and a lot of information is available.
29 September 2016If you find the subject of Chinese immigration to Singapore interesting, allow 1.5-2 hours for a visit in the Chinatown Heritage Centre. "
Anynomous
" This place is cheapest shopping centre in Singapore I guess. And the sellers are most chinese people. There is delicious food that made from pork. Very delicious one. You can buy souvenir here. "

" Take a peak into the life of early immigrants to Singapore. Well curated exhibitions. More activities might be better. The audio guide is a little pricey at $3 but adds additional stories and explanations to the otherwise static displays. "

" Beautifully detailed museum representing an oppressive existence. The audio guide helps to get across the dire lives of Chinatown's inhabitants from before the 20th century, and the struggles they faced piled into tiny homes. "

" Nice museum for the struggling history of early Chinese immigrants. "
