In the Science Centre Singapore, there is a super interesting mirror maze. It is the largest mirror maze in Asia, covering an area of approximately 270 square meters and composed of 105 mirrors.
As soon as you reach the entrance of the maze, the staff will kindly give you a foam stick. This is your capable little assistant in the maze. Don’t underestimate it. Entering a maze is like stepping into a bizarre world. All around are mirrors, and each mirror is placed diagonally. The mirrors reflect each other, making you feel that there are passageways all around, as if you could never finish walking no matter how hard you try. At this point, the foam stick comes in handy. When you walk forward, hold it in front of you as if brandishing a weapon. If it touches the mirror, it means there is no way ahead. Don’t go any further.
This mirror maze also has an interesting background story. It is said that the maze was Professor Clackerty’s laboratory and his pet parrot Vanot got lost in it. When you are shuttling through the maze, you are helping the professor look for the parrot. As you walk on, you will find that it’s really easy to lose your way inside. The mirror reflects various beautiful patterns, and the lights also change colors. Different colors create different atmospheres.
In addition to experiencing the pleasure of the maze, scientific knowledge is also hidden here. Walk to the back room and you will see the dynamic chromatographic shadow separator. At first, what you see seems to be a beam of white light. In fact, it is composed of light of three colors: red, blue and green. Standing in the middle of the room, these three colors of light will cast shadows of different colors. You can also try blocking one of the lights and see what effect it will have. There is another device in which a layer of plastic is sandwiched between two polarizing filters. If you apply pressure to the plastic, you can see the colors of different parts change.
In the mirror maze of the Science Centre Singapore, you can not only have a good time but also learn interesting knowledge about light and color. Moreover, there is no additional charge to enter the mirror maze. You just need to purchase a ticket to the Science Centre Singapore. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult to enter. Come here and embark on a wonderful journey through the mirror maze!
