What is it?
The Police Heritage Centre, located within the Police Headquarters @ New Phoenix Park, is a museum showcasing the history of the Singapore Police Force.
The tour is usually suited for older kids as it covers the history of the police force and the implications history had on it. However, during the Children's Season in June, a special tour is organised for kids aged between 3 - 9 years old!
BYKidO had the privilege to arrange a tour with 10 other families for the Children's Season 2018.

To Dos
The tour is kept relatively simple with a simple craft activity, photo taking opportunity in kids sized police uniform, and a tour around the Heritage Centre.
The tour is specially catered to the age group with hands on opportunity and a guide great at asking the little ones questions too!
The children even got to go home with a gift after the tour!
*There will be a crime prevention talk by the Policemen on weekdays too!
Things to Note
- The Tour is by Appointment only. Check the Police Heritage Centre website for the latest information.
- Strictly no walk-ins allowed. As the area is a restricted area, registered participants must pre-fill in a form to provide identification.
- On event day, please bring a photo identification. Children above 7 will need to bring their EZ link cards while those below 7 do not require identification
- The tour is about 1.5hrs long, do note that registration may take some time due to the exchange of identification for a visitor pass.
Our Recommendations
- As parking is not allowed within the compound, you may consider parking at the nearby shopping malls (Square 2 or Velocity), or the hospitals nearby (Ren Ci, Mount Elizabeth Novena)
- Registration slots are taken up really quickly. For future Children's Seasons, do stay tune to BYKidO to be updated or check on the Singapore Heritage Centre website towards the end of May.
