Madame Tussauds Singapore 

If you want a brush with fame, Madame Tussauds Singapore brings you closer to the stars—well, their waxy lookalikes, anyway! Just a short walk from SkyHelix Sentosa, this attraction is packed with incredibly lifelike figures of everyone from international A-listers to local heroes. Snap a selfie with Taylor Swift, shake hands with President Obama, or pose behind the wheel in the Marvel 4D Experience. 

There’s more than figures—Madame Tussauds offers a fun journey through Singapore’s history with immersive sets and interactive displays. Get behind the scenes with special VR experiences or board the Spirit of Singapore boat ride for a unique twist on classic wax museum fun. It’s pure selfie heaven and a guaranteed laugh, especially with friends. 

Universal Studios Singapore 

Calling all thrill-seekers: Universal Studios Singapore sits just a quick tram ride or stroll from SkyHelix Sentosa and promises action-packed fun. The vibe is contagious as soon as you enter—think street performers, vibrant tunes, and the unmistakable scent of popcorn and churros. Favorites like Battlestar Galactica (two coasters in one!), Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, and Transformers The Ride will keep your adrenaline spiking. 

But there’s more to do than just scream your lungs out! There are shows, parades, and themed restaurants where you can refuel in Hollywood style. Universal Studios offers something for kids, big kids, and Instagrammers alike—so everyone leaves with a huge grin and a phone full of great memories. 

Sentosa 4D AdventureLand

Sentosa 4D Adventure Land

Need a break from the sun? Duck into Sentosa 4D AdventureLand for a cool blast of air and a seriously immersive entertainment fix. Right by SkyHelix, this indoor adventure is all about interactive rides and movie magic. Experience simulated roller coaster thrills, wild virtual journeys, and action-packed narratives, complete with moving seats, wind, and special effects that put you right in the center of the action. 

There’s something here for both horror fans and giggle-chasers, from the spooky Haunted Mine Ride to the Western-themed shoot-out ride. It’s the perfect option for groups or families looking to squeeze more fun out of their Sentosa day—especially if tropical rains roll in. 

Scentopia 

Just a short wander from SkyHelix Sentosa, Scentopia is a treat for the senses—especially your nose. Here, you’ll discover the fragrant world of Asian botanicals, getting hands-on with perfume making, scent trails, and interactive AR experiences that dive into everything olfactory. The scent bar lets you create your own signature perfume, and the staff make the whole process playful and approachable. 

Walk the aromatic gallery trail to explore the lush diversity of Singapore’s natural flora, and don’t miss the shop packed with unique souvenirs that’ll make your luggage smell delightful for weeks. It’s a perfect change of pace from Sentosa’s more heart-thumping attractions, focusing on relaxation, creativity, and learning. 

Wings of Time Fireworks Symphony 

Cap your Sentosa adventure with a grand finale at Wings of Time, just minutes from SkyHelix Sentosa. This evening spectacular combines water jets, laser effects, and pyrotechnics, all synced to a stirring soundtrack that fills the night air. Grab a seat as the sun dips, and prepare to be swept away by the tale of friendship and courage set against Sentosa’s open-air backdrop. 

The atmosphere buzzes with anticipation before the show, with gentle sea breezes and soft sand beneath your toes. When the first fireworks explode over the water, you’ll understand why people rave about it—kids, couples, and friends all leave grinning and speechless. It’s the ultimate way to end a Sentosa day. 

Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett

Sky Park Sentosa

Think SkyHelix is high? Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett is where the real daredevils head. This adrenaline-filled spot lets you walk the plank, leap on a giant swing, or even take the only bungee jump in Singapore, all with panoramic South China Sea views. The mood is electric here—spectators cheer on friends, music pumps, and the bar serves up ice-cold drinks for those who prefer their adventures horizontal. 

Whether you push yourself to the edge or just watch others work up the nerve, Skypark Sentosa feels like a festival of fun. It’s popular with groups and solo travelers alike, and everyone walks away with a new sense of adventure—and, if you’re brave, a serious “look what I did!” story. 

Palawan Beach 

Craving sun, sand, and that ‘holiday feeling’? Palawan Beach is just steps from SkyHelix Sentosa and offers relaxed tropical vibes perfect for recharging. Golden sand, gentle waves, and iconic rope bridges—this is where you can unwind after your adventures, perhaps with a coconut in hand and your toes dipped in the warm water. 

Families will love the play areas and safe-swimming lagoons, while couples and friends can find space for sunbathing or pick-up beach volleyball games. Wander out over the suspension bridge to the “Southernmost Point of Continental Asia” for the ultimate vacation photo-op. It’s a piece of paradise, right in the heart of Singapore. 

FOC Sentosa Beach Club 

When your stomach calls or you’re ready for a chilled drink, head to FOC Sentosa Beach Club. This Spanish-inspired waterfront haunt is all whitewashed wood, breezy cabanas, and laid-back rhythms. Dig into their signature paella or try grilled octopus while enjoying panoramic sea views that make every meal pop. Their sangria or signature gin and tonics are the stuff of legend—perfect for a lazy lunch or sunset toast. 

Whether with friends, family, or solo, the vibe is always welcoming, with occasional live DJs, shaded daybeds, and a menu full of Mediterranean crowd-pleasers. Stay for the views but return for the food—you’ll leave dreaming of beach clubs everywhere you go. 

 

After you’ve floated high above Sentosa on SkyHelix, you’ll find there’s no shortage of ways to keep the excitement—and relaxation—going strong. From the sky-high thrills of AJ Hackett to laid-back beach cafes, immersive museums, and extraordinary aquatic worlds, this corner of Singapore packs in fun for every mood. So go ahead, mix a little adventure with your chill time, taste your way through global flavors, and make every Sentosa moment count—you’ll wish every day had this much variety!

Best night clubs in Singapore

Looking for somewhere to dance the night away in Singapore? You’re in luck! With its warm evenings and lively nightlife spots, this city is the perfect place to be nocturnal. From rooftops to resorts, house to hip-hop, there are clubs for all tastes here – and if you happen to stay out all night, there are plenty of picturesque spots for watching the sunrise. Our list of Singapore’s best night clubs includes: Zouk Ce La Vi Headquarters Marquee Tanjong Beach Club 1-Altitude Raffles Hotel Zouk One of the oldest and most famous clubs in Singapore, Zouk began life as a renovated warehouse complex in 1991. The first in the city to introduce house music, the club grew and expanded until it was relocated in 2016 to its current premises in Cannery Block in Clarke Quay, near Fort Canning Park. Past and future collide in this new, two-floor, five-bar compound, as it still has the feel of an industrial warehouse but with super-modern LED lights everywhere. Zouk always boasts an impressive list of resident and guest DJs – past artists to have led the rave here include Chemical Brothers, Avicii, Bjork, Louie Vega, Roger Sanchez and Primal Scream. And the DJs aren’t the only ones mixing things up here – there are karaoke rooms in the Red Tail Bar, and Spin classes available every day with Absolute Cycle X. Ce La Vi SkyBar If you’re going to scope out the night scene while you’re in Singapore, then you absolutely have to try the 57th floor Ce La Vi SkyBar at the Marina Bay Sands. Its lofty position attracts some of the best local and international DJs, so you can be sure you’ll be dancing to the best and freshest tunes. Enjoy unmatched views over the city, looking down on the Gardens by the Bay to the Marina and the river beyond. If you’re peckish, there’s a menu of tapas-inspired treats perfect for sharing, and their signature cocktails are inspired by classic favorites with a local twist. Party until the small hours with the stars overhead and the twinkling metropolis below. And the best part is, with your Go City Explorer or All-Inclusive pass, the first drink is already paid for! HeadQuarters by the Council If underground vibes are more your thing, head for Headquarters on Boat Quay opposite the Asian Civilizations Museum. Run by local music agency The Council, Headquarters hosts parties every Wednesday to Sunday night, showcasing local and guest DJ’s playing the best and newest house, techno and disco music. Red laser lights and a giant cage set the scene here – but if you’re feeling a bit more mellow, head upstairs to find a cozy balcony with sweeping city views. ‘Chilled’ is the catchword here, and there’s no dress code – instead Headquarters recommends you wear your most comfy shoes (though they do politely note that ‘slippers are not encouraged’). Marquee Another offering from the Marina Bay Sands, this time indoors – not that you’d know it, because this epic adult playground boasts 70-foot-high ceilings and around half an acre of floor space. Accurately calling itself the biggest nightclub in Singapore, Marquee fills its ample space with massive LED screens and cutting-edge sounds from the latest DJ heavyweights (previous acts include Tiesto, Afrojack and Steve Aoki), so it’s a properly immersive experience. As if that wasn’t enough, there are three-storey-high slides to ride down and an 8-pod Ferris Wheel with individual photo booths and epic views over the whole club. You’ll probably have to queue at some point, but it's worth it because this mega-venue is genuinely mind-blowing. Tanjong Beach Club Since we’re talking about clubs in Singapore, we can’t not put a beach bar on the list. There are plenty, but Tanjong is the one to beat. Snuggled on the western edge of Sentosa Island (just down the beach from the Wings of Time light display, if you want to make a proper evening of it), the Tanjong Beach Club was launched in 2010 by two brothers from Australia who felt that party goers in this very by-the-book sort of city needed a place to let their hair down. Pop by during the day for chill out music, beach volleyball and awesome seafood, or turn up on the right night and you can join one of their famous ‘Smack my beach up’ celebrations, where you’ll find plenty of opportunities for beer pong, cocktail buckets and whatever subsequent consequences might ensue. 1-Altitude Another one on Sentosa, this time a terrace bar taking up the entire roof of the Outpost Hotel. It’s easily recognizable thanks to its modern black and white exterior, and the entire hotel is adults-only so you can come here any time of the day or night to get your grown-up beach bar fix. It’s right in the center of the island, so if you’ve spent the day meeting your heroes at Madame Tussauds or pumping adrenaline at Universal Studios you can head here afterwards to sip a cocktail and enjoy 360 degree views of the sunset. Then get your dancing heels on (or kick them off, whatever suits) as this daytime oasis transforms into a trendy chill-out bar with sleek dance sounds and night sky views all around. Raffles Okay, this is not strictly a nightclub (unless you define night club as somewhere that serves drinks after sunset, in which case we’re good), so consider it our alternative suggestion for anyone who’s more into history than hangovers. Easily visited via the Red Line of the Big Bus Tour, this colonial-style villa is one of the oldest in the city and has a past-guests list brimming with celebrity and royalty. Raffles is also the birthplace of the Singapore Sling, invented in a time when it was considered impolite for ladies to consume alcohol in public. The bartender saw an opportunity and disguised it in a juice drink, and unsurprisingly it was a massive hit. You can try one in the historic Long Bar, or you might prefer the more sophisticated interior of the Writer’s Bar, named for the numerous literary greats who’ve stayed in the hotel over the years. Dance the night away with Go City In Singapore, you can sightsee all day and party all night with a Go City Explorer or All-Inclusive pass. You’ll save on all your favorite attractions and have a vacation that’s truly one to remember!
