Singapore always has something new to offer. Whether you’re after world-class shopping, incredible food, lush gardens or a fun group activity, there’s something for everyone. In this guide we round up the top things to do in Singapore — a mix of must-see attractions and hands-on experiences you can enjoy with your team, friends or family.
Escape Room for Kids – The Emotion Expedition
Get ready for an adventure with The Emotion Expedition, Singapore’s first mobile escape room game crafted just for kids! Inspired by the idea behind Inside Out, this journey invites young explorers into the colourful world of 11-year-old Sam’s emotions, featuring playful local spots like Paiseh Park and Kanchiong Spider Land. As players meet characters representing Happiness, Disgust, Anxiety, Fear and Embarrassment, they tackle puzzles that build problem-solving, teamwork and emotional intelligence — all while racing to solve the mystery of Sam’s missing diary entry.
Best of all, The Emotion Expedition can be enjoyed anywhere — at your venue, a client location or outdoors — making it ideal for schools, parties and family gatherings.
Visit the Botanic Gardens
The Botanic Gardens is one of Singapore’s most popular attractions — and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With over 60 hectares of gardens to explore, take a stroll and admire the diverse plant life. The National Orchid Garden is a must-see, with thousands of orchids on display.
Dine at a celebrity chef restaurant
With so many amazing restaurants in Singapore, it’s hard to choose just one. For an unforgettable meal, visit one of the many celebrity chef restaurants — from Michelin-starred establishments to more casual eateries, there’s something for every palate and budget.
Explore Chinatown
Chinatown is one of the most vibrant and historic districts in Singapore. Stroll the narrow streets and admire the traditional architecture, stop by a local market for souvenirs, or tuck into some of the best street food in the city.
Visit Sentosa Island
Sentosa Island is a popular destination for good reason. There’s so much to do, from lazing on the beaches to riding the cable car. For an adrenaline hit, check out Adventure Cove Waterpark — or bring your team for an outdoor game day by the sea.
Shop till you drop
Singapore is a shopper’s paradise, from high-end designer stores to local markets. If you’re hunting for a bargain — or just some retail therapy — head to Orchard Road, home to hundreds of retail outlets and a great rainy-day option.
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands is an icon of the Singapore skyline — a sprawling complex of restaurants, hotels, shopping and entertainment. Head up to the SkyPark observation deck for sweeping views over the city, and enjoy a romantic meal or drinks at one of the rooftop bars.
Gardens by the Bay
This sprawling nature park helped turn Singapore from a “garden city” into a “city in a garden”. Wander the iconic Supertree Grove, and don’t miss the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest conservatories — a spectacular (and air-conditioned) way to spend an afternoon.
Things to Do in Singapore for Every Occasion
On a rainy day
When the weather turns, head indoors: the Gardens by the Bay conservatories, shopping and dining at Marina Bay Sands, or a hands-on art jamming or candle making workshop are all great rainy-day options.
For a date
For date ideas, you can’t go wrong with a romantic dinner at a rooftop bar, an evening stroll through the Supertree Grove, or a relaxed art jamming session where you paint together over drinks and music.
To unwind and de-stress
Feeling the pressure from work? Creative workshops are a wonderful way to switch off — a terrarium or candle making session lets you slow down, get hands-on and take home something you made yourself.
With family and kids
Families are spoilt for choice — a day out at Sentosa, the wonder of Gardens by the Bay, or a kid-friendly adventure like The Emotion Expedition escape room that’s as educational as it is fun.
