Animal Spotlight: Seahorses is an intimate behind-the-scenes programme that highlights native seahorses and Singapore’s marine biodiversity.
PHILIPPINES, 31 March 2026 – Singapore Oceanarium invites visitors to discover the hidden world of native seahorses as well as the variety of local biodiversity through its latest programme, Animal Spotlight: Seahorses, featuring daily 45-minute guided sessions limited to eight participants per group. Designed to offer close-up access and personalised learning, the experience connects participants to Singapore’s marine life and biodiversity through behind-the-scenes encounters led by animal care specialists.
Through the programme, guests will journey across key habitats within the oceanarium before gaining access to the newly opened Seahorse Support Area, where they can observe feeding sessions and learn about seahorse care, breeding and specialised husbandry practices.
Known for their unique biology, including male pregnancy and specialised hunting techniques, seahorses play an important role in coastal ecosystems but are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, pollution and incidental capture as bycatch in fishing operations. The programme sheds light on these challenges while highlighting ongoing regional conservation initiatives and research partnerships.
As part of the experience, participants will also gain insights into how Singapore Oceanarium supports seahorse conservation through monitoring surveys and collaborative efforts in Southeast Asia, helping to safeguard wild populations and their habitats.
Animal Spotlight: Seahorses is available daily, with sessions priced at S$28 per participant, not inclusive of admission to the oceanarium. Each 45-minute session accommodates up to eight participants and includes an exclusive programme lanyard and credential. Bookings can be made at www.singaporeoceanarium.com/animal-spotlight-seahorses.
This experience is the latest addition to the Animal Spotlight series at Singapore Oceanarium, designed around both global awareness movements and the oceanarium’s evergreen programmes. Other editions in the series have included Animal Spotlight: Manta Rays, Animal Spotlight: Corals and Animal Spotlight: Sea Jellies.
