Old guns, new attraction
Labrador Park's imposing six-inch (shell diametre) guns, machine gun posts and two pre-World War II tunnels have recently been opened to the public. The tunnels have been preserved to convey what it must have been like for the British soldiers in the last days before the fall of Singapore. The tunnels are opened to the public during the day, but groups are welcomed to a private viewing after the attraction closes at 19.00. Arrangements can be made with Singapore Explorer, an attraction management company, which provides tour guides and also runs The Olive Ristorante, an alfresco restaurant next to one of the tunnels, offers themed dinners with pre- and post-dinner cocktails.
