ALICE INTO THE NEW WORLD: Another Immersive Exhibition At Groundseesaw, Singapore

Fans of the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland can step straight into the fantasy at Alice: Into the New World, an immersive exhibition that lets you become Alice as you explore a dreamlike realm powered by five towering projector screens. The space surrounds you with sweeping 2D and 3D visuals—some even evoking the surreal energy of Alice in Borderland—while a K-pop–produced soundtrack heightens the multisensory experience. Running daily, the exhibition offers entry at SG$28 for local adults, with timings that vary by day, so be sure to check the schedule before booking your journey down the rabbit hole.
