?The Planet Awakens?, Exploria?s signature light show spectacle at Our Interconnected World, welcomes visitors as they begin their discovery through the different worlds.

The Mandai Wildlife Reserve launches Exploria, Southeast Asia?s largest indoor, nature-themed multimedia attraction at the Green Canvas, Mandai Wildlife East, on Feb 23, 2026. 

Spanning 10,000 sqm, Exploria consists of five immersive worlds?Realm of the Giants, World of Darkness, Extreme Frontiers, Infinite Wonderland and Micro Worlds.

Through digital projections and interactive spaces across five imaginative worlds, Exploria is designed to transport visitors into nature's most extraordinary environments from high-altitude landscapes to the tiniest ecosystems. 

Visitors can discover how animals live in extreme conditions, learn about the delicate balance of ecosystems, and even get up close to nature?s smallest inhabitants ? like bees in their hives ? all in a way that would be otherwise inaccessible.

Exploria reveals nature?s hidden marvels, showing how life forms and ecosystems are interconnected beyond what can be seen outdoors.
