It was another week of Museum hunt! We visited Reflections at Bukit Chandu, a Singapore heritage for heroism. A place where visitors can know in depth of World War II, how close and real it was in the history of Singapore. It housed in a restored black and white colonial
bungalow close to the former battle site – the Battle of Pasir Panjang,
where 1,400 brave soldiers heroically defended
the last stand against a 13,000-strong Japanese army.
The exhibits, through artefacts and multi-media, invite visitors to contemplate about our nation’s war experience and to discover how far Singapore has come as a nation.

The museum is relatively small with two levels. It took us only 45 minutes to complete viewing. Js sat through a short video on the war history and journeyed through the exhibits. It wasn't exactly exciting or interactive, but it's very rich in history. Js swarmed us with many questions. Get war information prepared if you are visiting with your little ones.
I would say it's a place older kids should visit for that knowledge on Singapore's war history. Little preschoolers might find it a little too boring for the lack of interactive moments.
