Crybaby Dives into Singapore Oceanarium for Its Biggest Activation Yet

POP MART is bringing one of its most beloved characters to a real marine environment as the CRYBABY Cry Me an Ocean activation makes its debut at the Singapore Oceanarium from June 24 to August 30, 2026. The immersive experience is presented in partnership with Resorts World Sentosa and the Singapore Tourism Board.

The attraction marks several firsts. It is the first CRYBABY activation ever staged inside a real oceanarium and the largest activation hosted by the Singapore Oceanarium to date. Visitors can explore 11 themed photo zones featuring giant inflatables, life-sized sculptures, and interactive installations inspired by marine life.

The experience reimagines CRYBABY as a collection of charming ocean creatures, encouraging guests to discover marine habitats through a creative and playful lens. Each installation includes character stories and educational elements designed to deepen appreciation for marine ecosystems and ocean conservation.

Among the highlights are two towering five-meter outdoor inflatables: The Anglerfish and The Pufferfish, which welcome guests before they enter the oceanarium. Inside, visitors are greeted by The Whaleshark, a two-meter sculpture representing one of the ocean’s most iconic gentle giants.

The indoor trail continues through some of the Singapore Oceanarium’s most popular galleries, including Ocean Wonders, Shark Seas, and the Open Ocean viewing panel. By placing the CRYBABY installations alongside actual marine habitats, the activation creates a unique blend of pop culture, art, and marine discovery.

To complement the experience, a dedicated CRYBABY pop-up store will open at WEAVE at Resorts World Sentosa, offering exclusive Cry Me an Ocean collectibles and merchandise. Guests who present a same-day Singapore Oceanarium ticket and spend at least S$128 at the store will receive a limited-edition CRYBABY Cry Me an Ocean eyemask while supplies last.

According to POP MART Southeast Asia Head Nok Siriporn, the activation offers fans a new way to connect with CRYBABY while exploring the wonders of the ocean. Resorts World Sentosa also sees the collaboration as an opportunity to inspire greater awareness and appreciation for marine life among visitors of all ages.

As experiential attractions continue to grow in popularity across Asia, the CRYBABY Cry Me an Ocean activation showcases how entertainment, tourism, and education can come together to create memorable experiences that resonate with fans and families alike.

Why It Matters

The collaboration brings together one of POP MART’s fastest-growing character brands with one of the world’s largest oceanariums, creating a unique attraction that combines entertainment, tourism, and marine education in a single destination.
