This once-secret bunker documents Singapore’s past during World War II. Located inside Fort Canning Hill, the Battlebox was once a top-secret bunker that was built to be bombproof and self-sufficient. Construction was completed between 1936 and 1941. During WWII, it served as an underground command centre for British-led troops in Singapore. It was also inside the Battlebox that the British made the momentous decision on 15 February 1942 to surrender Singapore to the Japanese forces.Plan your Battlebox visit and explore what else you can see and do in Singapore using our Singapore online trip builder.

My husband wanted to visit this well hidden gem. I wasn’t keen…but having been persuaded I’d go again. Absolutely fascinating!

The tour was interesting; the tour guide threw in some interesting titbits about the war. Unknowingly, spent 2 hours in the bunker, going through the write up and videos. Worth visiting, if you enjoy history. :)

The BattleBox Museum was fascinating with lots of information about the history of Fort Canning and the events of World War II leading up to the Surrender of Singapore. Well worth the visit. Thanks to our guide, Joanne.

Came across this Uncle Paul who was mopping the floor. I agreed with him that the floor really shined like diamonds. Instead of the usual muddy smell for some cave, it smelled quite nice. A job well done

When you are a tourist in Singapore and you and your child are interested in history, this is one place you should not miss. The Battlebox Museum houses WWII memorabilia. We were made witness to the unfolding of the war in the Southeast Asia Pacific Region and the events leading to its end. The bunker was amazing. The docent was very knowledgeable (of course) and witty. 😍 He gave us a wonderful tour of the place, one that greatly added to my knowledge of the war in the Pacific Region. We were advised to not take photos and videos that is why I only have photos of the tickets.

This museum is totally worth the time and cost. The guides are excellent. After about half an hour of being shown the history, visitors can wander about for as long as they want. The ticket even allows you to come back later in the day. It's a great place to visit during the heat of the day.
