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

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!

A guide to the Singapore River

Stop for a visit to Singapore and the first thing you’ll notice – after the skyscrapers and warm, humid air – is that there’s a lot of water. Rivers, harbors and canals are the lifeblood of this city, bringing trade, tourism, and tranquility to its many green and quiet spaces. At the heart of it all, snaking its way west to east from the Kim Seng Bridge the Singapore Strait, is the Singapore River. Now lined with vibrant shopping districts and dazzling sky scrapers organized around three main quays, this two-mile stretch of fresh water has been indelibly linked to Singapore’s history and livelihood from its days as a remote fishing village to the internationally recognizable metropolis it is today. Read on to find out more about: Its history Robertson Quay Clarke Quay Boat Quay The Marina Things to do History The history of the Singapore River dates back many centuries to when the ‘Lion City’ was a small fishing village inhabited at various points by traveling (or invading) fisherman from China, Malaysia, India, Java and other neighboring countries. It wasn’t until Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in 1819 that serious development began, and it grew into a large city with a well-connected trading port. The first quay was built in 1823 and large warehouses were built all along the Singapore River to house goods and merchandise being imported and exported by sea. Other industries – such as finance – thrived on this success, but it took its toll on the waterways. Pollution and congestion became so bad that in 1977 the Prime Minister launched an ambitious ten-year clean-up project. Hotels, green spaces and sewerage were installed, and most of the trade was moved out to Keppel Harbor to make way for the tide of tourism now flooding into the city. Nowadays, The Singapore River forms the backbone of social and commercial life in the city, with vibrant districts and glamorous promenades culminating in the spectacular vista of Marina Bay. Things to do Fortunately, the weather and daylight hours are pretty consistent throughout the year in Singapore, so it doesn’t really matter when you go. It’s always going to be humid, so undoubtedly the best way to experience the river is on it, where fresh breezes and water spray will cool you down. River Cruises in traditional bumboats will take you gently around the quays and the Marina for perfect waterfront pictures, or for something more adventurous try a Duck Tour in an amphibious vehicle. If you prefer two wheels, there are some great bike tours that take in all the river’s major attractions, or you could just hire a bike and do your own exploring. If you need some family fun, try a Puzzle Hunt in Fort Canning, or if you need a rest and fancy some ‘high’ life, grab a drink at the Ce La Vi SkyBar in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, where you can look back and marvel over the entire length of the river and out to the sea. Cruise around Singapore with Go City Whether you prefer your views from rooftop bars, traditional boats or riverside restaurants, there’s always something to see on the Singapore River. Be sure to have your Go City Explorer or All-Inclusive Pass handy, so you’ll save on all your favorite attractions as you go!

Things to do in Geylang Singapore

Singapore’s Geylang neighborhood is certainly something of a head scratcher. Although descriptions often begin with its status as the country’s legally-recognized red-light district, it is also one of the country’s most culturally diverse areas. Exploring its historic shopfronts is just one of the many things to do in Geylang Singapore, alongside delving into a food scene that includes everything from frog leg porridge to Ramadan treats. Lying to the east of the Kallang River as it flows towards the river cruises of Marina Bay, east-west running Geylang Road remains at the heart of all that goes on in the neighborhood. Providing a sense of old Singapore, before soaring skyscrapers took hold, it’s a street busy with Singaporeans, Malays, Chinese and western expatriates by day and night. Meanwhile unnamed lorongs (lanes) span off to north and south with the promise of all manner of delights. Wondering why Geylang is so popular and on the lips of so many? Here’s our pick of the very best things to do in Geylang Singapore! Check out Geylang’s architectural curiosities There’s probably no better place to start your discovery of Geylang than Geylang Road. Stroll along even the shortest section of its three-kilometer length and you’ll very quickly get a feel of what this neighborhood is all about. And while the low-rise properties which line this major arterial road are sure to have you reaching for your camera, Geylang’s real treasures are to be found on its surrounding streets. There’s nothing quite like picking one at random and seeing what you’ll discover – maybe the Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace or Haig Road Hawker Center. But if you’re looking for a little guidance, the colorfully-painted conserved shopfronts on both sides of Joo Chiat Road rival the Peranakan (Malay-Chinese) Houses of adjoining Koon Seng Road when it comes to the wow factor. For the chance to head inside one of these preserved homes, make an appointment to visit The Intan, a house museum dedicated to recording Peranakan culture for prosperity. The work of one man, its collection is as encyclopedic in scope as it is colorful. Discover Geylang’s artistic side If a visit to The Istan gets you in the mood for more of Geylang’s artistic side, the Eurasian Heritage Gallery is just a couple of blocks south. Created to tell the story of Singapore’s Eurasian community, it succeeds in bringing its history to life in three excellently curated galleries refurbished in 2019. Detailing a heritage which takes in Britain, Portugal, Goa and Macau, the sections on how the community survived the Japanese occupation of the island in World War Two is particularly poignant. More uplifting stories include those of swimmer Joseph Schooling, the first Singaporean to win an Olympic gold medal. Just beyond the official bounds of Geylang, on the banks of the Geylang River, you’ll also find the Goodman Arts Centre. Hosting a wide range of exhibitions and workshops, the center sits within a lush three-hectare site. It also includes a café serving up Australasian dishes with looks perfect for social media and flavors not far behind. Fill your stomach with Geylang’s specialty dishes For a more authentic look at Geylang’s culinary magic, the choices are almost endless. Geylang Serai Market is one of the largest wet markets in Singapore, meaning you can find just about anything you might ever point towards a wok. After you’ve breathed in the rich aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon and lemongrass (serai in Malay), enter the attached bazaar for fabrics, homewares and other dry goods. Carrying a buzz at any time of year, the market outdoes itself each Ramadan, when stalls lit up with decorations and open long into the night help adherents break their fast. Head upstairs to the market’s food court to sample many of the region’s delicacies. Keep an eye out for asam pedas(sour and spicy fish stew), beef rendang (a dry diced beef curry) and goreng pisang banana fritters. Alternatively, follow your nose – literally – to the durian stalls of Sims Avenue. Known as the ‘king of fruits,’ there’s really nothing else like a durian. They were the model for the Esplanade Theatres building on the opposite side of Marina Bay to Gardens by the Bay, and so pungent in aroma they are banned from hotels and aircraft. So why not let a stallholder pick out the perfect durian for you? After all, sampling the custard-like interior is something of a rite of passage when traveling in the region. Nearby, there are several simply-decorated restaurants (think school canteen chic) and more upmarket establishments with specialties including frog leg porridge on their menus. Try G7 Sin Ma or Eminent Frog Porridge to taste this savory stew flavored with soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chili. If you’re looking for a late evening drink, there are also plenty of bars in Geylang – head either along Geylang Road, or along Geylang riverfront. Enjoy Geylang’s green spaces When Stamford Raffles, ‘founder’ of modern Singapore arrived in Geylang, it was an area of coconut palms and coastal marshland. Although no longer awash with greenery, the Geylang riverfront provides a nice contrast to the bustling lanes of the area. Save your shoe leather with Gogreen Bicycle Rentals, the easiest way of taking in all the river’s sights as it doglegs through the neighborhood. Don’t worry though, there are plenty of benches on which to rest up with an ice cream, kelongs (floating platforms) and shelters resembling the kampong (village) huts that once would have been found here. Further north, Geylang East Park’s L-shaped form provides another escape from the hubbub of its nearby roads. Clean, tidy and well-maintained, you could do far worse than stop by for a lunchtime picnic with the daily mix of residents and office workers.
