A scintillating symphony of cutting-edge glamour and heritage artistry, the ‘Garden City’ also hosts many surprises for adrenaline addicts with an irresistible dash of culture and nature thrown in the mix! Here are some of Singapore’s unmissable spine-tingling escapades.
Singapore is more than just a luxurious playground for bespoke brand lovers and epicurean experience seekers. While there’s no shortage of opulent highs to be had in its grandiose recreation arenas like Orchard Road and Marina Bay, the multi-faceted city will serenade your senses with hidden gems and scintillating sanctuaries, from the pastel-shaded shophouses and artisan cafés of Katong to mouthwatering street food at Lorong Buangkok, Singapore’s last surviving kampong. Whether you’re travelling with a troupe of fun-hungry friends, hard-to-impress teens, or hyperactive kids, Universal Studio promises unforgettable stomach-dropping stimulation for everyone! If you can’t choose between wildly enticing rides like Battlestar Galactica, Revenge of The Mummy, and Transformers The Ride, consider investing in an express pass so you can skip the formidable lines!
From dizzying rooftop rendezvous and elaborate trampoline parks to jungle zip lines and towering garden realms, Singapore’s gravity-defying opportunities leave nothing to be desired. However, if you’ve always dreamt of freefalling out of a plane but never worked up the courage to do it, you can get an exhilarating taste at iFly’s indoor skydiving centre. In a hi-tech, controlled environment you can safely experiment with mid-air shenanigans as you are held up in a huge glass wind tunnel and surrounded by dazzling views. If you’re hunting for a sophisticated 1-bedroom apartment in Singapore close to the city’s most elating diversions, venture no further than the likes of Citadines Rochor Singapore.
Singapore’s atmospheric adventures only amplify as the sun goes down, whether you fancy a spontaneous date at one of its cosmic bowling alleys, VR gaming zones, and retro arcades or prefer the tantalising thrills of its food streets and night markets. However, for a more unconventional edge-of-your-seat escapade that the whole family will remember for years, you can’t go wrong with Singapore’s Night Safari. On this epic excursion at the world’s first nocturnal zoo, you’ll get to ride a tram through mysterious zones featuring over 2,500 critters, from sloth bears and spotted hyenas to clouded leopards and white African lions.
If you can’t get enough of waterborne escapades, Singapore has endless enticing options, from splash-worthy theme parks like Wild Wild Wet, with its mat-racer slides and hybrid rides, to sea-and-mangrove kayaking at Pulau Ubin and the Amazon River Quest boat ride at the River Wonders wildlife park. However, if you want to perfect the skill of ‘skating on water’, head straight to the lushly gorgeous Singapore Wake Park to learn how to cable-ski like a pro! This park caters to every calibre of aquatic adventurers by offering classes for beginners and children as young as six, with ramps and obstacles to challenge seasoned wakeboarders.
With vibrant playparks tailored to adults and kids alike, knee-weakening VR worlds to conquer, and sky-high cable car dining for a bougie date night, most of Singapore’s attractions are designed to make your heart skip a beat! However, if you’re looking for a high-energy activity that’s fun for all ages without being ‘extreme’, whizzing down a mountain track boasting stunning skyline views in a cute 3-wheeled cart is a Singaporean classic you can’t miss.
