UWS’ opening in 1991
UNDERWATER World Singapore (UWS) will cease operations on June 26, 2016 after 25 years in operation, announced operator Haw Par Corporation yesterday.
Starting from today, prices at UWS will revert back to its 1991 opening ticket prices of S$9 (US$6.63) for adults and S$5 for children. Meanwhile, free admission will be given to beneficiaries from charity partners the group has worked with in the past.
The tourist attraction has also sent its pink dolphins, fur seals and otters to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom (COK) in Zhuhai, China.
The early closure, despite its Sentosa lease that will only expire in less than two years, is to facilitate the transfer of the marine animals to COK, stated Har Par Corporation in a media statement.
