Bask In The Sunset

While the sunset over the Marina gives you the Singapore Strait and the skyscrapers of the Central Business District (CBD), you’ll get a more relaxed view of the sun setting down over Sentosa.

Singapore Flyer

One of the best locations to catch the sunset on the Marina is the Singapore Flyer. A full rotation takes 30 minutes. You’ll see the sky changes from the hues of sunset into the night, where the lights illuminate the city.

You’ll get an aerial view of the city’s skyline stretching from the Singapore Strait, with the towering Marina Bay Sands and the skyscrapers of the CBD.

The official website sells the tickets at S$33 ($24). There is no booking of time slots so be there at least about a half-hour before dusk to catch the sunset in all its glory.

SkyPark Observation Deck

If you prefer to take your time to bask in the sunset and the city lights of Singapore’s Marina, you may head up to the SkyPark Observation Deck. High up 200 meters above ground on the 57th floor of the Marina Bay Sands, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking 360 view.

The entrance fee for the Skypark Observation Deck is S$23 ($17).

Singapore Cable Car

For a totally different view of Singapore sunset, away from the city, head on to Mount Faber. Take a ride on the cable car from Mount Faber into the sunset at Sentosa Island.

While on the cable car, you will get to see the Port of Singapore – the Best Global Seaport of 2021. The aerial view spanning from the port to the island as the cable car descends from Mount Faber into Sentosa gives you an idea of how Singapore “works hard and plays hard”.

At the time of writing, the Singapore Cable Car is offering an unlimited ride in a day for S$29.70 ($22).

Skyride Sentosa

You can also enjoy the sunset view from within the Sentosa island from the slow rise up the Skyride before going down the Luge station. As Sentosa is next to Singapore’s seaport, you’ll see ships of all sizes docked off the beach.

The sunset view of Sentosa from the Skyride may be enjoyed on either Friday or Saturday when the Skyride runs until 8.30 pm.

Do check the last ride up before you plan to go for a Skyride sunset. At the time of writing, the best deal is S$30 ($21) for 4 rides on the Skyride and 4 rides down the Luge. Check its official website for any running promotions and to buy your tickets.

Adventure in the Dark

After basking in the sunset, set yourself up for some adventure in the dark. Some of the fun activities at night in Singapore are either at Sentosa island or the Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

Luge Sentosa

Extending its regular Luge ride, the Night Luge’s last ride is at 8.30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The adrenaline runs differently when you zoom past the lights in the darkness of night.

To enjoy the Luge experience to the fullest, you should start on its longest trail, the Dragon Trail (688 meters (2,257 ft)).

The Jungle Trail – its oldest trail of 628 meters (2,060 ft), has been upgraded with a tunnel feature. Imagine whizzing through the tunnel at the Luge’s highest speed! Then go on to its 2 new trails that have more “twists and turns with hairpin corners” – Kupu Kupu (638 meters (2,093 ft)) and Expedition (658 meters (2,159 ft)) Trails.

The sweetest deal is the S$30 ($21) for 4 rides up the Skyride and 4 rides down the Luge. This will give you the chance to try all the 4 Luge tracks available. The Night Luge is only available on Friday & Saturday nights.

Check its official website for any running promotions and to buy your tickets.

Rainforest Lumina

Over at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, running its third and last season from July 2021 to 13 Feb 2022, Rainforest Lumina is a multisensory night walk within the Singapore Zoo. You will be guided by 8 virtual animals through their luminous world for a stretch of 1km in the dark tropical rainforest.

Some reviews described the Rainforest Lumina as “an enchanting experience for the young at heart” as well as an “Avatar-ish” land, referring to James Cameron’s Avatar movie.

Rainforest Lumina operates only from Thursdays to Sundays and during the eve of and on Singapore public holidays, 7.15 pm to midnight. The last admission is at 10.15 pm. Tickets are at S$18 ($13).

Night Safari

Hop on over to the Night Safari, one of the popular night attractions in Singapore. Dubbed as the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park, you are set to experience the lurking wildlife safely from behind enclosures.

Get on the complimentary guided tram ride to see the animals in all the zones of the Night Safari. You may spot your favorite zone within the 4 available walking trails.

The Night Safari opens from 6.30 pm and the last admission is at 11.15 pm before closing at midnight.

Indoor Night Activities For the Family

For families who would rather be indoors yet not want to miss out on the night activities in Singapore, here are what you can plan for your loved ones.

Jewel Canopy Park

Launched right before the pandemic broke the world, Jewel is the gem of Changi Airport. Linking to its 3 Terminals, it is a merged complex of retail and nature-themed entertainment. It is also where you can find the Rain Vortex – the world’s tallest indoor waterfall.

The Jewel Canopy Park sits on the topmost of Jewel’s 5-story indoor garden. With a single admission ticket, your family can enjoy 4 main attractions.

Slide down the giant art piece of the Discovery Slides, sit in the midst of clouds in the Foggy Bowls, find animal sculptures through the Topiary Walk, and be charmed by the different flowers of the Petal Garden.

Tickets are at S$5 ($4) and can be bought online or when you arrive at Jewel.

Mini Golfing at Holey Moley

While the night is still young, head down to Clarke Quay where you can put some holes in Mini Golfing at Holey Moley. It is family-friendly but do take note that it becomes strictly for above 18 years old after 8 pm due to liquor licensing.

Price starts at S$20 ($15) per person for 9 holes.

The City That Comes To Light

For the Little Red Dot that Singapore is known for, the city lights sure brighten the country through the night. Take your time to explore the city.

City Cycling

They say to get to know a city is best through cycling. Being a humid country, cycling around the city has been one of the favorite late night activities in Singapore. One of the best routes in the city is to go along the Singapore River.

As an island country with a whole plot of reclaimed land beyond the Singapore River, most historical sites are where the shore used to be. The sites down the route will take you through these notable landmarks:

If you do not have your own bicycle, you may rent it through CityScoot for your night cycling.

Supertree Observatory

Standing over 16-story high within the Gardens By The Bay, the Supertree Observatory gives you a bird’s eye view of the city’s skyline. Hang out at the Deck or have your dinner with the magnificent view at the Social Kitchen.

Tickets to the Deck start at S$14 ($11).
