A heartthrob city full of heightened sensory indulgence, it's no surprise that Singapore sparkles even brighter with unforgettable experiences accentuated by its blazing skyline when the sun goes down. Here are some diverse after-dark enticements you can't miss!
A cutting-edge city tailor-made to every traveller's wildest dream, Singapore will satiate your craving for adventure, nature, culture, and larger-than-life experiences almost as soon as you venture forth into its atmospheric streets! From the futuristic jewel-toned realms and lush horticultural masterpieces like Gardens by the Bay and gravity-defying observation decks that sail across the spectacular sunsets over the state-of-the-art cityscape to memorable bumboat cruises that will mesmerise you with the unique juxtaposition of the towering skyscrapers and rustic colonial enclaves, every moment presents a thrill to the senses! For an exhilarating study of the nightly habits of diverse animal species, hop on board the nocturnal zoo's iconic tram safari and make friends with leopards, otters, elephants, and hippos at the various animal zones, stopping to be blown away at the Night Show.
Whether it's the kinetic rain sculpture, 40-metre indoor waterfall, and lush blooming foliage of the Jewel Changi Airport, the glitzy uber-shoppable galleries of Singapore's massive malls full of customisable glamour, or the Singapore Science Centre with its top-flight amenities for stargazing and the astronaut experience, this city-state is full of wonder whether you're indoors or out! If you'd prefer a stellar vantage point of its soaring architectural paragons across glimmering bridges, whimsical parks, and rejuvenating waterfronts, loop along the city's east coast on a bicycle or promenade across Helix Bridge or Instagram-worthy Henderson Waves for a night you won't easily forget!
While Singapore might have its luxe and tasteful jaunts for well-heeled leisure seekers, the vivacious city-state is no less hospitable to those looking for quirky and quintessential bonding experiences. From action-packed VR gaming zones and retro-chic arcades to fantastical indoor roller-skating rinks, cosmic bowling alleys, and entertainingly themed mini golf courses, there is no shortage of novel, inexpensive allurements to savour. If you're looking for some well-balanced fun after dinner, visit SuperPark indoor playground; ideal for anyone young at heart and up for some joyful gymnastics!
The most decadently pulsating experiences in Singapore can be enjoyed in its bejewelled laneways that seem even more vivacious at night, from the ethnically vibrant Mustafa Centre, with its mouthwatering food, traditional handicrafts, and luscious fabrics to the ritzy retail scene with nods to culture in the bespoke high fashion outlets of Orchard Road. If you're looking for a shared apartment in Singapore proffering superior access to its authentic allurements, venture no further than lyf Farrer Park Singapore.
Singapore is a multifaceted gem of a city, adept at blurring the lines between imagination and reality, and its Rainforest Lumina is a dazzling testament to this face. A multisensory realm of wonders, this immersive night walk through the Singapore Zoo is accompanied by endearing virtual critters who will tug at your heartstrings while engaging your thoughts.
For a bougie and romantic escapade where you float up into the sky over a constellation of city lights, a gourmet dinner date atop the Singapore Flyer is a one-in-a-million bonding experience. If you'd prefer gliding over peaks and rivers with a guest of your heart as you enjoy a luxuriant four-course meal, Singapore's Cable Car dining makes for an unforgettable night.
For some adrenaline-inducing competition before you hit the sack, Sentosa's Skyline Luge, with its stunning multi-coloured lights and immense mountain tracks encapsulated by views of the city in its ethereal night-time regalia., form a perfect dreamscape to whizz down.
