Robodogs Are Coming to Sentosa & Mandai in 2026—This Is Bigger Than You Think!
Tech-Powered Fun Meets Nature and Play in Singapore
Families in Singapore can now team up with adorable AI-powered robodogs for a one-of-a-kind guided experience. The Singapore Tourism Board (STB), in partnership with China-based travel platform Mafengwo, has launched a fun pilot programme running from April 18 to May 17, 2026. These multilingual robodogs bring interactive storytelling, real-time recommendations, and playful surprises to two family-favourite spots: Sentosa Sensoryscape and the new indoor attractions at Mandai Wildlife Reserve (Exploria and Curiosity Cove).
Little Steps Insider Tips For Seeing The Robodogs In Singapore:
- Stroller-friendly? Yes, at both locations—Sentosa Sensoryscape is a wide, accessible green connector, and Mandai’s indoor attractions offer easy navigation with changing facilities and rest areas nearby.
- Ages? Great for all ages! Toddlers love the dances and waves, while older kids enjoy interactive chats and surprise stunts. Families with children under 7 will especially appreciate the free or low-key photo moments.
- Hidden mini find: Look out for the robodogs in stylish outfits during dance performances—they add extra cuteness and photo ops that kids go wild for.
- Travel-with-kids tip: Book guided tour slots in advance where possible to avoid disappointment, and combine with a full day at Sentosa or Mandai for maximum fun without rushing.
The robodogs use advanced AI to chat in English and Mandarin, learn about your family’s interests, and share curated stories about the attractions. It’s a fresh, engaging way to explore Singapore that feels personal and exciting for kids and adults alike—perfect for making every visit memorable.
VISIT IN SENTOSA: Robodog Highlights at Sentosa Sensoryscape:
- Join a guided tour (approx. 20 minutes) at 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm, where robodogs share stories about the lush Sensoryscape, a 350-metre green connector linking Resorts World Sentosa to the island’s beaches.
- Enjoy a fun dance performance by five robo-dogs in cute outfits, happening three times daily at 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and 5:45 pm, each lasting about 5 minutes.
- Snap photos during daily meet-and-greet sessions at 2:05 pm and 4:05 pm. These sessions last around 25 minutes.
- At Exploria (Southeast Asia’s largest indoor nature-themed multimedia attraction, 10,000 sqm), robodogs perform playful moves and surprise appearances in the central “Our Interconnected World” hub—perfect for memorable photos.
- At Curiosity Cove (Singapore’s largest indoor nature-inspired playscape for kids 12 and under, 4,600 sqm), they greet families alongside the Ranger Buddies crew with waves, stunts, and interactive fun across four immersive zones.
- These indoor spaces are fully air-conditioned and designed for hands-on play and learning—great for hot or rainy day
Why Little Steps Loves It:
This pilot blends cutting-edge AI with Singapore’s love for innovative family experiences. It’s not just a gimmick—the robodogs make exploration more interactive, inclusive, and fun, helping parents create those “wow” moments without extra planning stress. Plus, it aligns beautifully with STB’s push for tech-enhanced visits that feel warm and welcoming.
Who It's Perfect For:
Families with kids of all ages, especially those who enjoy tech, animals, nature, and interactive play. Multilingual support makes it ideal for international visitors, including Mandarin-speaking families.
