Tuesdays in Singapore: Top Picks for the Ultimate Adventure

Who says Tuesday’s a slow day? Singapore serves up nonstop fun and flavor.

Gardens by the Bay

Tuesdays in Singapore are anything but ordinary. If you’ve landed in the Lion City midweek, lucky you—it’s the perfect moment to dive in while crowds are lighter and favorite attractions shine. Whether you want to sip tea in a heritage shophouse, float above the city skyline, or stroll gardens bursting with color, Singapore is primed for adventure every single day. Let’s map out a Tuesday you’ll actually brag about—snacks, nature, and mind-blowing views all included. 

Our favorite things to do in Singapore on a Tuesday include: 

  • Gardens by the Bay 
  • Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck 
  • Bird Paradise at Mandai Wildlife Reserve 
  • Singapore DUCKtours 
  • Art Jamming at Café de Paris 
  • Chinatown Heritage Centre 
  • Albatross Hop-On Hop-Off Speedboat 
  • Rainforest Wild Asia at Mandai Wildlife Reserve 
  • Explore Haji Lane 
  • Grab Coffee at The Glasshouse 

Gardens by the Bay 

Every Tuesday is a good day to wander through the magical landscapes of Gardens by the Bay. The cooled Conservatories—Flower Dome and Cloud Forest—always bring a refreshing escape from the heat. You’ll step out of humid Singapore and into creative worlds, where Mediterranean olive groves give way to waterfalls and misty walkways among rare orchids. The Supertree Grove, with its sci-fi vertical gardens, looks stunning at any time, but swing by after sunset to watch the trees come alive with light and music during the Garden Rhapsody show. 

We love visiting on a Tuesday because it feels especially peaceful and spacious. The blend of fragrant blooms, lush greenery, and gentle soundscapes makes for a truly restorative experience. Whether you’re looking to snap insta-worthy shots or enjoy a quiet moment, there’s no better place for your weekly dose of wonder. 

Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck 

If you crave those postcard-worthy skyline views, the SkyPark Observation Deck is calling. Perched atop the iconic Marina Bay Sands, you’ll gaze over city skyscrapers, green parks, and shimmering waters—there’s something about seeing the city from this angle that makes you fall in love with it all over again. The open-air deck puts you on top of the world, and it’s roomy enough on Tuesdays that you can take it all in without jostling for space. 

The atmosphere up here is pure excitement—everyone’s pointing out landmarks or soaking up the sun (and breeze!). Snap a selfie with the glittering Marina Bay backdrop, then sit back and just watch boats glide by. When you’re done, you’re perfectly placed to explore the rest of Marina Bay, from cool hawker centers to jaw-dropping art installations right by the water. 

Bird Paradise at Mandai Wildlife Reserve 

Get a ‘tweet’ start on Tuesday with a trip to Bird Paradise, Singapore’s stunning new aviary at Mandai. This is a true haven for animal lovers: massive, airy walk-through habitats are filled with over 3,500 feathered residents from flamingos to parrots to hornbills. Wander through themed zones like the Amazonian Jewels and Lory Loft, where the birds aren’t shy about coming close—sometimes, you’ll even find one perching nearby as you snap a pic. 

What sets Bird Paradise apart is the immersive feel of each zone. Waterfalls, lush greenery, and interactive feeding times make it more than just a zoo; you’ll actually feel like you’re in a rainforest with new friends overhead. Tuesdays are a great day to visit—things tend to be less crowded, making your strolls through each habitat even more magical. 

Singapore DUCKtours

DUCKtours Vehicle

Ready for something completely different? Hop aboard Singapore’s DUCKtours, where you’ll roll through city streets and then—splash!—glide right into Marina Bay aboard an amphibious vehicle. This one-hour adventure fuses city highlights with pure novelty; you’ll cruise past landmarks like the Esplanade, drive through historic streets, and then float under the towering skyline as guides deliver fun facts and zippy stories. 

Tuesdays often mean smaller groups, so everyone gets a window seat for those hilarious photo ops and unbeatable views. It’s a great way to get your bearings, especially if it’s your first time, and the tour’s playful spirit leaves everyone (kids and grown-ups alike) beaming. 

Art Jamming at Café de Paris 

Feeling creative? Let your inner Picasso out at Café de Paris, a cheerful art jam studio right in town. Here, friendly staff set you up with paints, brushes, and a welcoming atmosphere—perfect for travelers who want more than just another tour. Sip coffee or a vibrant fruit tea, then design your own masterpiece to take home. 

It’s wildly relaxing, whether you’re a seasoned artist or painting for the first time. Tuesdays are wonderfully laid-back, with more space to experiment and chat with locals who drop in after work. Imagine leaving Singapore, not just with photos, but with art you made yourself—now that’s a souvenir. 

Chinatown Heritage Centre 

Dive headfirst into Singapore’s remarkable history at the Chinatown Heritage Centre. This immersive museum is packed with sights and stories from the city’s early Chinese immigrants, unraveling everyday life through perfectly recreated living quarters and interactive displays. The detail is next-level: flickering lanterns, era-appropriate furniture, and recorded voices share secrets from Singapore’s oldest ethnic enclave. 

We love it on Tuesdays because it’s usually quieter, giving you time to soak up the evocative atmosphere and savor every tale. Step outside for a stroll around Chinatown, where temples, bustling markets, and some of Singapore’s tastiest street eats await—consider this your ticket to a different era. 

Albatross Hop-On Hop-Off Speedboat 

For a thrill with a salty breeze, join the Albatross Hop-On Hop-Off Speedboat experience. You’ll zip across the water, hopping between city highlights with sun, spray, and skyscrapers all around. It’s sightseeing, but with a sense of play—this speedy boat takes you to top spots along the river and Marina Bay, perfect for both time-crunched travelers and anyone who loves the feeling of wind in their hair. 

We recommend grabbing a spot on a Tuesday when boats aren’t overly packed, making every seat feel like business class. Guides share quirky facts en route, and the photo ops—city skyline, Merlion, glinting water—are absolutely unbeatable. 

Rainforest Wild Asia at Mandai Wildlife Reserve

Rainforest Wild

Escape the city bustle and get wild (literally) in Rainforest Wild Asia, part of the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. This immersive zone offers up-close encounters with orangutans, hornbills, and shy forest dwellers, all hidden within lush tropical greenery. The habitat is so convincingly crafted, you’ll forget you're just a short journey from Singapore’s brightest lights. 

What’s special about Rainforest Wild Asia is the sense of adventure: winding walkways, rope bridges, and shaded jungle make it the perfect Tuesday mini-escape. You can spot animals from tree platforms and see them roam, leap, and play in massive natural spaces. It’s a full sensorium—cool shadows, birdcalls overhead, and the thrill of spotting an otter or macaque around the bend. 

Explore Haji Lane 

If color-packed street art, indie shopping, and quirky hangouts are your thing, Haji Lane is an absolute must. Nestled in the Kampong Glam district, this narrow lane buzzes with creativity from morning café culture to neon-lit cocktail nights. Browse for vintage threads, original local designer pieces, or try one of the wacky, Instagrammic dessert shops lining the street. 

Weekdays mean less rush, so you can actually chat with shop owners or score the comfiest coffee nooks. Haji Lane’s murals and matchstick-sized bars deliver a slice of Singapore at its most relaxed, curious, and cool—definitely Tuesday-friendly. 

Grab Coffee at The Glasshouse 

For your caffeine fix, peer into The Glasshouse, a bright, leafy café tucked inside CHJIMES’ gothic arches. Baristas here serve up legendary cold brews and artisan pastries in a sun-dappled glass pavilion; it feels halfway between a garden and a modern greenhouse. Try their loaded open-faced sandwiches or the yuzu cheesecake for a local twist on café classics. 

On Tuesdays, you’ll find remote workers, creative types, and curious travelers hanging out—making it just the right spot to refuel, write a few postcards, or plan the rest of your day. 

 

Tuesdays in Singapore are a great chance to try something new without the crowds. With so much variety, weekdays here feel special. And if you’re not done, many of these experiences are just as good on Wednesday.

Christmas in Singapore

It's the same every year. Horned animals, jolly red fellows, and gifts wrapped in paper start appearing on TV. Those songs clog up your favorite radio stations - you know the ones. And you hear the distant scream of your bank account as it prepares to be drained of all its savings. Yes, that's right. It's Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. So if you're considering visiting Singapore this winter, you might want to know what Christmas is like in the city. Well, don't worry; we've got all answers down below, as well as suggestions to amplify your merriment! Read on, and discover Christmas in Singapore. Including: How do they celebrate Christmas in Singapore? Is Christmas in Singapore good? Is Christmas a big holiday in Singapore? Christmas cheer at Gardens of the Bay Christmas at Universal Studios and more! How do they celebrate Christmas in Singapore? In such a multicultural city, it's no surprise that Christmas is handled in a rather traditional sense. Shopping malls are wrapped in tinsel and fairy lights, Christmas trees spring up from nowhere, and stockings adorn many a shop window. So, really, it's probably just like your home town. Only in Singapore, so the weather's much better! Is Christmas in Singapore good? It is! You'll find plenty of Christmas activities to enjoy in and around the city, as well as Christmas shopping savings, markets, and plenty more. But we'll get to that. Is Christmas a big holiday in Singapore? Even though there's a relatively small Christian population in Singapore - around 19% identify as Christians - Christmas is still a big holiday in the city. Much like many of the other religious holidays and festivals celebrated in Singapore, Christmas gets a similar treatment. Now that we've got your burning questions out of the way, let's talk about the best things to do over Christmas in Singapore! Christmas cheer at Gardens of the Bay If you're visiting Singapore, you've probably already heard of Gardens of the Bay. Thanks to its beautiful SuperTrees, it's one of the most recognizable green spaces on the planet. With millions of plants, multiple biomes, and even an Avatar movie crossover found within, there's plenty to do and see for every visitor. But what of Christmas? Well, you've got a few choices. First is Christmas Wonderland. Arguably Singapore's biggest Christmas extravaganza, visitors will be treated to the kind of light show one expects at Garden Rhapsody - just extra Christmasy. But that's not all; you can also meet Santa and snap a pic, play carnival games, explore the Mistletoe Alley Christmas market, and even hop on some rides. All-round yuletide fun for one and all, just like Santa always wanted. This one runs throughout December, so if you're visiting Singapore over Christmas, you should be just fine. The other is Poinsetta Wishes, a massive display of delightful Andalucian flora that gets a Christmas glow-up every winter. Every year, a different Christmas theme takes over the Flower Dome. Last year it was Nordic-inspired Christmas treats like gingerbread reindeer and a giant hollowed-out apple adorning Santa's sleigh. 2022/23's display hasn't been announced yet, but keep an eye out online to find out. Typically, the Christmas display at the Flower Dome runs from the end of November to the beginning of January. Joy to the world at Universal Studios Universal Studios is every cinephile's ideal theme park. With tons of rides dedicated to some of the planet's biggest film franchises, it's fun for kids and bigger kids alike. One moment, visitors will be dodging dinos at the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure; the next, they'll be riding alongside Optimus Prime as the Transformers battle the Decepticons. But over Christmas, it transforms into a winter wonderland. The halls are firmly decked with boughs of holly, carols bellow out around the park courtesy of your favorite universal characters, and you can hop on the Universal Rocking Railway to catch a glimpse of trees inspired by Shrek, Minions, and plenty of others. You can also post a letter to Santa and watch as the Postmaster Elf drops it off at the North Pole Postal Service. And when you're overcome with hunger from all the Christmasy activity, head to the Festive Market to pick up some Christmas twists on Singapore favorites. Pick up some cheer at a traditional Christmas market We've already talked about Gardens by the Bay's Mistletoe Market and Universal's Festive Market. But what other markety delights can you find in Singapore? Well, there's the Chinatown Christmas Market, which appears at the end of December, from Dec 19-20th, and then again from Dec 26-27. See Chinatown adorned in decorations, and prepare to pick up some great bargains on food, knickknacks, and decorations if you're behind on your Christmas schedule. Then there's the Christmas Fair at Crane Club. From Dec 4-5, you can pick up some great gift ideas, all made by local businesses. From clothes to homeware and plenty of chocolate to boot, you'll find something for everyone at this brilliant Christmas spot. Or, try I'mable Gift Market, a conscientious Christmas Market that not only offers sustainably-made products, but they're also made by people with disabilities. And no matter what you pick up, you'll know that your purchases help the community and disability services. Does it get much more Christmasy than that? Not in our book. Let loose at a Christmas Village And finally, we'll end our exploration of Christmas in Singapore with a visit to Changi Festive Village. From November 4 - Jan 2, you'll be able to attend one of Singapore's best-kept winter secrets. Located onsite at Changi Airport, this wonderful village provides with a myriad of activities on offer. Hop on a go-kart and race around a circuit, jump into the dino-themed bouncy castle, lay your eyes upon a huge 50+ foot Christmas tree, and top it all off with some Christmas bites. Brilliant. And there ends our guide to Christmas in Singapore! Wherever you choose to spend your winter holiday, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
