This is a war memorial & as such is definitely worth a visit. Naturally it may not be on every tourist's agenda. Add it to your visit to Sungei Buloh wetlands and the farms around northern Singapore. It will add another perspective to your trip.

Its in central Singapore, you drive past it regularly, I like its simple form and poignant message, but its not really a destination in itself.

Lived in Singapore off and on since 2003. Visited for the first time yesterday with my mother. This place is very moving and real. Should be a must visit for all of us. The Japs were barbarous.

This is a war memorial and not a Disneyland attraction. There is no McDonald's and no t-shirts to be bought. However, if you are interested in learning about a part of WWII and honor the people who died for Singapore and/or their mother country, then this is an interesting place. The memorial is near the Kranji line on the MRT.... More

Can't understand the comment that Kranji War Memorial "doesn't have a lot to offer" - what are they looking for for goodness sake? Anyway, Kranji is easy to reach from Kranji Station on the MRT - costs less than £2 from the centre of Singapore. Less than a 10 minute walk and you are surrounded by the reverence and dignity...

Located in the Northern part of Singapore, its one of the best and well maintained War Memorials I have seen, the way memorial has been laid out makes it easy to look for a group and the soldier who contributed his life to WW11. Some of war stories from the Japanese occupation were very interesting. To me the fall of... More

I don't ever understand reviewers who go to war cemeteries and then give them low marks. They are war cemeteries, they are what they say on the tin and are not supposed to be tourist attractions with rides and places to buy ice creams and anyone who expects otherwise is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Kranji is incredibly... More

The grounds are immaculate and well tended. Staff are on hand to answer any questions you might have. Easiest way is Bus/train to Kranji MRT then a short walk.
