From world-famous gardens to quirky art workshops and wildlife encounters, you’re in for a full basket of experiences—no matter your age or interests. Ready to see what’s blooming and hopping this Easter? Here’s our top list for making your trip egg-ceptional. 

Our favorite ways to celebrate Easter in Singapore: 

  • Gardens by the Bay 
  • Universal Studios Singapore 
  • Bird Paradise at Mandai Wildlife Reserve 
  • Singapore DUCKtours 
  • Sentosa 4D AdventureLand 
  • Canopy Park at Changi Airport 
  • River Wonders at Mandai Wildlife Reserve 
  • Singapore Cable Car 

Gardens by the Bay: Springtime Blooms and Easter Fun 

If any spot captures the Easter spirit in Singapore, it’s Gardens by the Bay. Around Easter, this futuristic garden paradise ramps up its Spring Blossom displays, sweeping visitors into a world of blooming tulips, vibrant hyacinths, and pastel-hued daffodils. Picture taking family photos amid the Flower Dome’s Easter displays or joining festive-themed garden tours—the perfect setting for snapping that new profile pic. The gardens feel both magical and relaxing, with whimsical sculptures adding an extra dash of holiday cheer. 

Stick around for hands-on workshops (think flower basket-making or egg decorating) which usually pop up during Easter weekend. We love wandering the meandering outdoor paths, peeking into the cool misty Cloud Forest, and finishing with a picnic beneath the Supertrees. It’s a feast for the senses, combining floral wow-factor with a dash of egg-hunt excitement for little ones. If you crave an Instagram-perfect Easter, Gardens by the Bay sets the scene. 

Universal Studios Singapore: Egg Hunts Meet Hollywood Thrills 

For families and thrill-seekers alike, Universal Studios Singapore puts a blockbuster twist on Easter. The park often hosts seasonal events like Easter egg hunts with costumed characters, themed parades, and pop-up sweets stands. Imagine joining a park-wide hunt, where clues lead you from the streets of New York to the jungles of Jurassic Park, with chocolatey surprises every step of the way. 

Once the egg-citement wears off, you’re just steps away from headliner attractions—think heart-pounding roller coasters, family-friendly 4D rides, and lively street performances. There’s plenty of room to relax too: snack on churros, grab themed selfies with movie stars, and soak up the energy of the holiday crowd. Whether you’re rolling solo or with kids in tow, Universal Studios Singapore gives Easter an extra twist of movie magic and delight. 

Bird Paradise at Mandai Wildlife Reserve: Feathered Friends and Festive Breezes

Jenday Conure at Bird Paradise

Bird Paradise at Mandai Wildlife Reserve is a top pick if you’d like to weave a little nature into your Easter adventure. Here, walk through brilliant aviaries filled with flamingos, parrots, and cockatoos—all against a lush, landscaped backdrop. Around Easter, you may find special keeper sessions, feeding times, and guided tours with an Easter theme (think eggs, of course!). 

It’s not just about spotting rare birds; the playful, colorful vibe makes any visit memorable. Kids love the interactive exhibits and the chance to collect little bird stamps in their keepsake booklets. The River Wonders attraction is just next door, so your Easter in Singapore could become a wildlife double-header. Bird Paradise is the perfect place to relax, learn, and snap plenty of feathery, festive photos. 

Singapore DUCKtours: Quirky City Sights on Land and Water 

Hop on—literally!—for one of Singapore’s most quirky sightseeing tours. The DUCKtours’ bright, amphibious vehicles roll through historic streets and then glide straight into the bay—always a hit with adults and kids. Over Easter, expect cheerful guides to share fun egg facts, point out bunny-themed street art, or even lead mini on-board games. 

Besides the unique mode of transport, DUCKtours serves up unbeatable views of top sights like Marina Bay Sands and the Esplanade theatres. It’s breezy, entertaining, and delivers loads of local lore with a sense of humor. We love how an afternoon on the DUCKtours feels festive and a little bit silly—the perfect vibe for a spring holiday in Singapore. 

Sentosa 4D AdventureLand: High-Energy Easter Entertainment 

For those who want a little extra adrenaline with their chocolate eggs, Sentosa 4D AdventureLand is a riot. This indoor attraction swaps out the usual egg hunt for high-tech rides, immersive 4D movies, and interactive wild-west shootouts. Over the Easter weekend, there are often bonus games and holiday prizes to win—ideal for competitive families or friend groups with a taste for the theatrical. 

Themed rides like “Extreme Log Ride” and “Desperados” deliver plenty of giggles, with motion seats, sprays of water, and all the sound effects you could imagine. You can wander over to the nearby beaches or Sentosa Cable Car after your adventures, rounding off an action-packed Easter day. Sentosa’s playful spirit fits perfectly with the excitement of the holiday. 

Canopy Park at Changi Airport: Whimsical Playgrounds and Garden Trails

Even if you’re not catching a flight, Canopy Park at Jewel Changi Airport is worth a visit—especially over Easter, when it doubles as a family fun zone. Start with the topiary walks and bounce your way across the sky nets hanging high above the airport concourse. There’s an enchanting children’s garden, creative mazes, and a misty fog bowl where everyone snaps magical photos. 

Canopy Park often features Easter egg hunts or spring-themed surprise pop-ups, along with live performances in the “garden in the sky.” Nature, play and photo ops come together for travelers of every age. Just a heads up: the views of the Rain Vortex waterfall make the perfect finale for an Easter day with a difference. 

River Wonders at Mandai Wildlife Reserve: Easter with Otters and Pandas 

Nature lovers, take note! River Wonders brings together winding river habitats, lush greenery, and up-close wildlife encounters. Spot giant pandas, watch playful otters, and drift along a gentle riverboat ride. Around Easter, the park often adds themed scavenger hunts, hands-on crafts, and even chances to meet animal babies, giving your visit an extra festive twist. 

What sets River Wonders apart is its calm, family-friendly pace. Shaded boardwalks lead you past everything from manatees to tigers, with interactive zones and conservation talks adding a thoughtful touch for younger visitors. Peaceful yet engaging, it’s an easygoing Easter outing where you can slow down, explore, and leave with plenty of photo-worthy moments. 

Singapore Cable Car: Soar Above for Views (and Easter Surprises) 

Take your Easter festivities to new heights—literally! The Singapore Cable Car whisks you over lush forest, glittering cityscape and down to Sentosa, giving you amazing panoramic views the whole way. Around Easter, the cable car lines get an extra festive touch, often with themed carriages, photo ops, and maybe even a surprise Easter treat mid-flight. 

We love the thrill of gliding between Mount Faber and Sentosa at golden hour. The ride itself feels special, but it’s also a fun way to hop between adventures—especially if you’re pairing it with a visit to Sentosa’s beaches, 4D AdventureLand, or SEA LIFE. Families can even turn it into a moving egg hunt, spotting landmarks as you glide above the city. With sweeping views of the skyline and sea, it’s a ride that feels just as memorable as the destinations themselves. 

 

Whether you’re after petal-packed gardens, animal encounters, creative workshops or sky-high adventures, Singapore is ready to turn your Easter trip into pure magic. The city’s mix of spring flowers, exciting attractions and family-friendly festivities means there’s something for everyone—young or old, visitor or local. So, grab your bunny ears, and make your Easter in the Lion City an adventure to remember!

Singapore in January

Wondering what’s the best time to visit Singapore? Hooray! - there’s no wrong answer! Just 85 miles from the equator this tiny tropical island is balmy all year round - and its multi-ethnic, multi-lingual society comprising Chinese, Malay, Indian and other nationalities, means the welcome is equally warm. That crazy cultural melting pot also means that there’s almost always a festival underway and January is no exception. So whatever time of the month you visit, be ready to be swept up in the colour and joy of celebrations. Whilst January is one of the wettest and windiest months by Singapore standards, there’s definitely no shortage of sunshine, with average temperatures still a far-from-cold 27oC. So, whether you’re looking for nature or nightlife, sights, scenery or city living, pack your shorts (and perhaps a portable umbrella) and bask in the best things to do in Singapore in January, including: • New Year in Singapore • Singapore festivals (Pongal and Thaipusam) • Chinese New Year in Singapore • Gardens by the Bay • Singapore Wildlife Attractions - Bird Paradise - Singapore Zoo - Night Safari • Singapore Indoor Attractions - National Museum of Singapore - Madame Tussauds - Virtual Room Singapore New Year in Singapore Grab your glad rags and pop some corks; there’s no shortage of celebrations for New Year’s Eve in Singapore. As the sky lights up with pyrotechnics and light projections, Marina Bay Sands is a focal point for partying and live performance. An icon of modern Singapore, this luxury hotel, shopping and lifestyle destination is topped by... yes, believe your eyes...a full-size ship, which also happens to be home to the world’s largest infinity pool. You don’t need the excuse of New Year to take a dip there - nor to come aboard to indulge in the luxury of Marina Bay Sands’ premier bar. Book your spot in the VIP area of the CÉ LA VI Skybar and sip your complimentary drink whilst you take in the stunning 360o city panorama. New Year’s Day is also the final day of the Great Bay Fiesta, Marina Bay’s winter playground, complete with snow and ice attractions, breathtaking circus shows, carousels, carnival games, food stalls and loads more. Throw yourself into the fun throughout December, knowing that New Year’s Day is a national holiday in Singapore when you can kick back, make like the locals and celebrate with a foodie feast, champagne brunch or afternoon tea. Pongal Time your visit for the middle of January to join in the joyous celebrations for the Tamil Hindu harvest festival when farmers give thanks to Surya (the Sun God), Mother Nature and the farm animals. Families honor the Sun God by cooking a pot of rice to offer up at dawn and share with family and friends. Pongal means ‘to overflow’ so the rice has to bubble over to symbolize prosperity and abundance.Although it’s a four-day festival, celebrations go on all month so you’ll find the streets are also overflowing with light, color and things to see and do. Hit Little India, the vibrant historic and cultural center of Singapore’s Indian community, for the Pongal Light-up Ceremony and grab all the pics for the ‘gram as a myriad of magical lights welcome in the festival. Visit the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple - dedicated to Kali a protector goddess and destroyer of evil. Explore the mix of Hindu and Chinese temples on Serangood Road. Shop for everything from spices to unique home decor in the Festive Village. Find flower garland sellers jostling with modern eateries and boutique hotels. Check out the Tekka Centre (Singapore’s largest ‘wet’ market) for a mystifying array of rare produce. Browse open-air goldsmith shops and sari centers. And feast your way along the colorful streets and alleys, discovering South Indian vegetarian food, North Indian tandoori dishes and local treats like prata (round pancakes) and teh tarik (pulled tea). You’re welcome. Thaipusam You may also be around to catch another colorful, but deeply religious, Hindu festival celebrated in Singapore in January or February (according to the timing of the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai). Thaipusam literally brings traffic to a standstill, thanks to its vibrant annual procession in honor of Lord Subramaniam (sometimes known as Lord Murugan), the destroyer of evil and representing virtue, youth and power. Stake out your spot in Little India’s historic streets, as the procession winds its way from the dazzling Sri Thendayuthapani Temple, the roof of which is made from 48 colored and etched glass panels angled to catch the sparkle of the rising and setting sun.Then try not to wince as you watch traditional devotees carry kavadi (literally ‘a sacrifice at every step’) which range from wooden spikes that pierce the tongue and other body parts - to huge heavy frames decorated with flowers and feathers. Less alarmingly others carry pots of milk, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Chinese New Year in Singapore The date of the first full moon of the year also determines the most important date in the Chinese calendar - Chinese, or Lunar, New Year. Whether it falls in January or February, revel in the festive atmosphere in Singapore’s Chinatown as beautiful lanterns blaze for the Chinese New Year Opening Ceremony. Be dazzled by the lights and ornaments that adorn the streets and jostle with tourists and locals among stalls selling everything from pottery, homeware and clothes to delicious sweet and savory treats. On the eve of the new year families hurry home to share a Reunion Dinner with their loved ones, to honour ancestors and traditional deities, a tradition so important to so many people that it is often known as ‘the world’s largest human migration’. Don’t miss the Chingay parade in Marina Bay, as the year is ushered in with floats and performances including stilt walkers and lion dancers. To get a handle on what it’s all about, why not drop by the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Museum, which often hosts exhibitions to help visitors understand Chinese history and culture. It includes an exhibition of Nian Hua, traditional woodblock prints used to decorate homes for Chinese New year. Gardens by the Bay Even though local markets and shops are shut for at least a week, the major malls, tourist areas and entertainment attractions will all be buzzing. Join the crowds for River Hongbao, one of the most popular New Year celebrations, featuring live stage performances and amusement rides. It takes place at Gardens by the Bay, the stunning natural park recognizable around the world as a symbol of Singapore. Make the most of the photo ops whilst the gardens are decorated with good luck symbols, positive messages, giant coin pouches and particularly giant lanterns. But, whatever the time of year, you can Pick up a Gardens by the Bay ticket that also includes access to the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest featuring Avatar: The Experience. For New Year the Flower Dome showcases Dahlia Dreams, a breathtaking floral display of over 2000 dahlias, which appear alongside other auspicious New Year blooms like azaleas and chrysanthemums. Chinatown Not just in January but all year long, Singapore’s Chinatown is a heady mix of heritage, culture and architecture, where historic temples sit alongside hip bars and colorful street art. Testament to Singapore’s multi-ethnic society, it is the only Chinatown that is home to a Buddhist temple, a mosque and a Hindu temple along the same street.Share the peace and beauty of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum, with its tranquil rooftop garden, pagoda and beautiful interior designed in the form of a mandala.Or compare the architecture of Masjid Jamae (the Big Mosque) with the Sri Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Though Chinatown is not all tradition. After dark the streets come alive with music, so make the most of the bustling bars and food ranging from traditional flavors to modern fusion. Singapore Wildlife Attractions As the holiday season comes to a close and the crowds die down, January can be a peaceful time to enjoy some of Singapore’s main attractions at your own pace. Jurong Bird Park Wing your way to Bird Paradise, Asia's largest bird park, to discover over 3,500 birds, as well as the tallest artificial waterfall in the world. Singapore Zoo Over at the Singapore Zoo you can watch orangutans swing high above their platforms, not to mention sloths, chimpanzees, meerkats, a komodo dragon, white tigers, kangaroos and many more. Over 300 species living amid lush vegetation have ensured the zoo’s reputation as the world’s best rainforest zoo and an important center for conservation. Night Safari When night falls, take the Night Safari; you can’t fail to be fascinated by over 100 species in the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park. Follow one of the four walking trails or take the tram to see the natural habitats and learn the secrets of native and endangered species including the Malayan tiger, Malayan tapir and Asian elephant. Singapore Indoor Attractions And you needn’t let the rainy season put a damper on your adventures since Singapore has plenty of undercover attractions too. From culture to family fun, there’s something for every age and taste. Perhaps you’ll choose to get a handle on the country’s rich culture and history via the captivating installations at The National Museum of Singapore. Head over to Madame Tussauds Singapore to pose for a selfie with Taylor Swift, David Beckham and a galaxy of other stars of Hollywood, Bollywood, TV and sport. Your ticket offers an exciting 5-in-1 experience, with other attractions including the Spirit of Singapore Boat Ride and a Marvel 4D Experience. Or escape reality at the unique virtual adventure that is Virtual Room Singapore. Enjoy multi-player fun in the world’s best team-based virtual reality experience, where 3D cinematic effects are combined with an escape room concept. Immerse yourself in high-tech, high definition gameplay as you interact, walk, talk and problem-solve your way through each activity. Phew! It’s only the beginning of the year and there’s already so much to see and do. Whether you choose to throw yourselves into the colourful celebrations, pack in the attractions, or prefer a peaceful natural retreat, remember that picking up an All-Inclusive Pass or an Explorer Pass is the best way to sight-see and save in Singapore. Happy new year and happy adventuring - with Go City.

Your Complete Guide to Singapore in August

Singapore has been attracting visitors since Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles established a trading post on the island in 1816. Two centuries later, Singapore continues to tick all the boxes. What’s more, Singapore in August is exceptionally explorable. Cultural diversity ensures even hawker centers serve up delicious tasting foods. Orchard Road provides an almost endless shopping extravaganza, while safety is never something you’ll have to worry about. At the same time, history seeps out of every street corner, even the high-tech Downtown area. In short, Singapore is not just a stopover, but a destination in its own right. Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Singapore in August. Why August is a good time to visit Singapore Singapore’s weather in August is arguably the best of the year. Although it remains rainy in Singapore in August, rainfall is some of the lowest of any month. Since temperatures average 31°C year-round, and humidity levels around 82%, the other most important factor is sunshine hours. Less rain invariably means more sun, and August in Singapore is one of the sunniest of the year. In fact, along with June, July and September, August is considered one of the best times of year to visit Singapore. Add to this the festivities around National Day, and you’ll experience Singapore at its most celebratory! Things to do in Singapore in August With the weather set fair, a great way to delve into Singapore’s delights is with a Historical Singapore Bicycle Tour. Peddling along the city’s oldest streets, you’ll get your first glimpse of its grandest monuments. Free from the barriers of a vehicle, you’ll also absorb the extraordinary ambience of Chinatown and the Museum District. Thanks to reliable public transport, such as the MRT metro system, nowhere in Singapore is far away. But if in doubt, Big Bus Singapore has stops right throughout the city on its yellow and red hop-on hop-off routes. While in the Museum District, it would be a shame not to visit the National Gallery Singapore. That’s because the gallery contains the largest collection of Singaporean and southeast Asian art of any public institution. Highlights include works by Xu Beihong, Georgette Chen, and Liu Kang. No trip to this part of Singapore in August is complete without visiting Gardens by the Bay. Known for their 18 ‘supertree’ vertical gardens, Gardens by the Bay actually span over 100 hectares. Give yourself plenty of time to explore, since beyond Supertree Grove there’s also the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome greenhouses. The second is the largest in the world, and seeks to replicate a Mediterranean-style climate. Beyond Downtown Singapore A short distance from the Flower Dome, Singapore Cable Car links two very different Singapore attractions. Head south on the Sentosa Line, and you’ll get a bird’s eye view of family-friendly beaches (Palawan is one of the best) and the rollercoasters of Universal Studios Singapore. After all, Sentosa is the home of Singapore’s theme parks, with several to choose between. In the opposite direction, the cable car’s Mount Faber Line takes visitors to Singapore in August to the peak of the same name. Having traveled across lush rainforest, you’ll have the chance to follow forest paths. Alternatively, simply enjoy a cocktail (or two) at the cool bars at the top with uninterrupted views. But for an altogether different take on Singapore, head to Pulau Ubin. Reached via motor-powered bumboats from Changi (itself worth discovering), this tiny island harks back to the time of Raffles. Car-free, the best way to get about is by bike, although it’s also small enough to walk around without becoming exhausted. Sights include stone quarries readopted by nature, mangroves, coconut plantations, and Singapore’s last traditional village (kampong). End your visit with an order of Pulau Ubin’s famed chili crab. There are several charmingly ramshackle restaurants just by the boat jetty. Food and drink in Singapore Deciding what to eat will be your biggest problem when visiting Singapore in August. Because of the city’s cultural diversity, international favorites aren’t hard to find. But it would be a shame to depart Singapore having eaten nothing but burgers and pizza. Luckily, good food isn’t hard to find. Pretty much every neighborhood will have its own hawker center. So important are they, that they’re now listed by UNESCO as part of humanity’s Intangible Heritage. Although menus can be limited – each stall within a center tends to focus on a couple of dishes – your taste buds will thank you for it. Look out for Singapore noodles, laksa, and murtabak, a type of savory pancake. Chinatown is the obvious place to head for authentic Cantonese and Hokkien dishes. Many you’ll never have seen back home. And for the flavors of the Indian subcontinent, there’s only one place to head – the aroma filled alleys of Little India. Unmissable Singapore August events Singapore is a thriving destination for events, and August is no different. While the likes of Paris and Rome are snoozing in a mid-summer daze, Singapore is alive with unique experiences. The biggest event in Singapore in August is National Day, a public holiday on August 9. The days in the run-up see the red and white of the Singaporean flag appear right across the island. The day itself comprises a series of activities. These include a large military parade and live performances from top names. It comes to an end with a magnificent firework display. Should you miss National Day, Singapore Night Festival in the latter half of August is a good alternative. Running for more than a decade, it sees famous buildings decorated in lights. All manner of surprise live elements mark the city’s history and culture. Why not visit Singapore in August with Go City? Take the plunge, and you’ll find Singapore in August a destination that gives back ten-fold. All the same, Singapore does have a reputation for being on the pricey side. The answer? Travel with Go City. Our All-Inclusive and Explorer passes give visitors to Singapore incredible savings on admission to attractions big and small. It means you can do even more on your Singapore vacation without worrying about your bank balance.
