The Trick Eye Museum was nice, especially for families since it's fun for the children and picture taking. Expected more for the cost ($32-adults; $28 children). Experience with Headout was fine.

A superb discovery for me, who knew nothing about Asian and Singaporean painters, and especially Cheong Soo Pieng. The place is beautiful and peaceful, and the guardians are very kind and give explanations about the works. Fabulous!
