We would love to introduce you to Planet Botanaris, a collection of our creative perspectives which shape an exciting foreign planet for our visitors to explore. Located in Springfield Town Center Mall, we are set to introduce an immersive Arcade experience featuring a blend of gameplay and exploration through various alien biomes.

Planet Botenaris was born from the idea to create an experience where guests could interact with creatures in a foreign world. This idea sparked a series of concepts that would evolve into a planet with a simulated ecosystem through scenery, light, smell and sound. Our experience invites visitors to explore our planet and encounter the peculiar wildlife that inhabits Planet Botanaris through creature interaction points where guests will receive quests to complete in the various areas of the experience. What makes our experience unique is the chance to befriend the creatures you meet by completing quests shaped by minigames spread around the world, seamlessly blended in their respective environments.

Our world is shaped through four biomes. First you will encounter Evergrowth, an expansive age-old jungle-like biome full of life in a blend of earthly & alien flora together with ruins of a long forgotten Botanari civilization eons ago. Then you may wander to Lunaria’s Hollow, a rough gorge cut out by the forces of nature exposing minerals and caves alongside its streams and waterfalls left by the river that sculpted this area. Up for more adventure? Then get ready to step into Marexis Reef, a rather unexplored piece of the planet where paths are riddled with obstacles for guests to conquer in a vibrant alien coral reef of unmatched size. Or traverse to the depths of the Echoing Shallows, a winding cave system where dark tunnels are lit up with glowing minerals and fossils.

Our protagonists, two young children who placed a wish on a shooting star, had their wishes answered through the visit of the Botanari. Now grown up to become bright scientists on a mission to save our planet, they have set up research facilities in collaboration with the Botanari, to allow humanity to learn from their way of life. In their research facilities guests will encounter Innovation Station. An interactive museum experience where guests can learn about the vast and exciting history of Botanaris and uncover the similarities between their planet and our own. Want to learn more about the creatures you encountered during your visit, then make your way to the Arcadium, a care centre where you can interact and play with your new Botanari friends.

Our world is not bound by its borders.From our harbour Bo-Tan Bay, explorers can embark on a cruise through the stars and land on the far outskirts of Planet Botanaris where new and exciting creatures can be discovered.

Ever wanted to board a starship? Well, now you can dine in one! Experience exciting dishes inspired by beloved Botanari recipes onboard Solaria, the starship that brought the Botenari to our world. Our restaurant overlooks the experience and can be entered directly from the mall, even for visitors without a Botanaris boarding pass. Eager to get a quick bite while exploring, then make a stop at one out of three F&B spaces with dishes inspired by their surroundings.

Planet Botanaris is a year-round experience, with seasonal events that transform the terrarium throughout the year—celebrating summer, Halloween, winter, and Easter with immersive decor and exclusive creatures available only during these special times, such as The Festival of Luminescence in Winter or Sun’s Peak Celebration during summer holidays.

We’re also committed to making Planet Botanaris inclusive and accessible to all. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed—from our use of sustainable materials to the integration of real plants, cultivated in collaboration with local nurseries to bring the environment to life in the most authentic way possible.

Thanks to your interactive smartband and mobile app, your journey doesn’t end here. Your progress is saved, letting you pick up right where you left off on your next visit. Level up, discover new creatures, unlock secret zones, and continue your mission in Planet Botanaris.

We’re working hard to bring this magical world to life. Get ready to explore, discover, and connect—with nature like never before. See you soon at Planet Botanaris!
