Ahh….Singapore! With one of the lowest crime rates in the world, this little country might be small, but it is mighty, and the nightlife of the city-state is legendary.
Not only does it pulsate with energy, music, and the aroma of its famed street food, but Singapore’s nocturnal offerings cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences.
If you, like me, are a night owl, I’ve got your back! In this blog post, I’ll share some of my favorite things to do in Singapore at night!
1. Stroll the Gardens by the Bay and Visit Marina Bay Sands
Covering an expansive 101 hectares, the Gardens by the Bay is an essential stop on any Singapore itinerary, particularly for its nighttime charm.
You’ll experience incredible music and light amidst the artificial trees with canopy-like structures that shimmer at night. Check out Supertree Grove, home to 12 of the 18 awe-inspiring trees.
Since you’re in the area, a visit wouldn’t be complete without going to the top of Marina Bay Sands, the iconic hotel that you see in postcards these days.
One of the best places for views and open way past midnight, it is the perfect place to have a Singapore Sling at CÉ LA VI, the rooftop bar and restaurant, and enjoy panoramic views of the gorgeous skyline at night. The Singapore Sling is an iconic beverage created in Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel, Singapore’s oldest hotel.
2. Enjoy the View from Singapore Flyer
For an unforgettable experience, hop on the Singapore Flyer, a giant observation wheel near Marina Bay Sands. Rising 165 meters above the ground, you can get the regular package which lets you go on one rotation for 30 minutes in a shared capsule or rent your own for a more private time.
There’s also a package for the Time Capsule Experience where you can enjoy Singapore’s history, present, and future guided by R65, a time travel robot that shows you the country’s transformation.
3. Get into Nature at the Night Safari
If you’re a nature lover, this nocturnal zoo is a must-visit. Come and visit Singapore’s wildlife park that showcases amazing animals that aren’t in cages.
From Tasmanian Devils and Clouded Leopards to fishing cats and other creatures, the Night Safari has won numerous awards for its efforts in conservation and the treatment of animals in their care.
You can choose from the tram ride, buggy, walking adventure, keeper talks, or enjoy a unique night dining experience in a nocturnal zoo under the stars in a Tipi tent. Try to get on the Fishing Cat Trail and you might be able to see wild felines in all their hunting glory!
4. Party the Night Away at Clarke Quay
The riverside Clarke Quay is filled with popular sites, clubs, pubs, and bars that come alive when the sun sets. Stop at the Warehouse Bar or Level Up to enjoy some rock and roll hits, or dance the night away at Cuba Libre with their Latin music.
If you’re not into club life or bright lights, you can go around the corner to Boat Quay and hit the numerous laid-back sports bars for a beer, or two. These places open way past midnight and usually wind down at 2 or 3 am.
5. Catch a World Class Performance at Esplanade Theatres
If you’re into art, don’t miss the Esplanade Theatre. The uniquely shaped concert hall features shows across numerous cultures and genres.
You can enjoy the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra or a Chinese play, just make sure to check out their schedule to find out what’s on. There are also shopping and dining experiences at the Esplanade Mall that will keep you entertained before attending a performance.
6. Join the Sentosa Naturalist Night Walk

As you join the tour, you’ll rely solely on torch lights and a guide sheet to explore the “wild side” of Sentosa.

Head over to the cultural enclave at the east of the Singapore River. The district of Little India is filled with restaurants, contemporary street art, beautiful temples, and more.
One of its main attractions is the Mustafa Centre, a legendary late-night shopping center where you can buy almost anything under the sun, so get ready to spend!
8. Bike Along the Eastern Coastal Loop
A popular walking, biking and running route, the Eastern Coastal Loop connects Pasir Ris Park to East Coast Park. You’ll find plenty of lush greenery along the loop, and you can also dip your toes in the ocean waves.
The route is well-lit and is filled with many recreational stops like hawker centers and restaurants but the best part is the spectacular views of the sea.
If you keep going west along the loop, you’ll also be able to access the Marina Bay area.
9. Play Cosmic Bowling
Try one of Singapore’s cosmic bowling alleys with friends or family for a fun night! One of the most popular spots is K Bowling, located at the heart of Orchard Road.
You can book ahead right here.
Aside from the funky lights, there’s also a live DJ and dinner menu to keep you occupied after you finish your game.
10. Get Spooked with The Creepy Tales of Singapore Tour
This best-selling tour will explore scary spots in Singapore with some authentic “Ghost Hunting” equipment. A tour guide will also tell you haunting stories of World War II in Singapore and send chills down your spine.
The night experience is four hours long and ends at the world’s largest Chinese cemetery, estimated to have about 100,000 tombs.
11. Enjoy the Night Sky with Cable Car Sky Dining
Sky Dining Singapore lets you have a romantic dinner while riding a cable car and enjoying a bird’s eye view of the beautiful city down below at night.
The ride uses an award-winning network that runs between Mount Faber, Sentosa Island, and Harbourfront.

13. Let Your Rage Out at Fragment Room
Release your rage and let down your walls in the Fragment Room, Singapore’s first rage room located on the ground floor of 490 MacPherson Road.
It’s a short and effective therapy session where you can smash plates, glasses, vases, and other household items. It’s open until 10 pm, so pop in any time before then.
14. Get on a FunVee Singapore Night City Tour
Enjoy a scenic city night ride on the FunVee Open-Top Double Decker bus.
Go through the landmarks of the colonial district from the Parliament House to the National Gallery, and you’ll also experience the vibrant Chinatown, iconic Merlion Park, and the Marina Bay Sands area.
15. Night Luge at Skyline Luge Sentosa
Zip down a dazzling neon-lit track while listening to the latest hits on Sentosa Island at the Night Luge Ride.
If you’ve never heard of it yet, it’s part go-kart and part toboggan that’s fueled by gravity, a great way to race with your friends!

18. Sing the Night Away in Karaoke Rooms
Singaporeans love karaoke, so join them and sing the night away!
Singapore has a healthy bunch of karaoke spots across the island but you can try K.STAR, a themed karaoke room that’s perfect for parties, or Teo Heng KTV, a well-known affordable karaoke chain in Singapore.
19. New World’s End Immersive Street Theatre
The immersive experience is set in the 1960s and tells the story of Kiran and Rosa, as they fall in love in the New World’s Amusement Park.
It’s a story of loss and regret, told in glittering cabaret lights, a dingy apartment, and a collapsed hotel room. You’ll be putting on a pair of headphones and invited to listen to the story personally as you’re guided through back alleys and fantasy rooms.
20. Kayak Fishing at Night
Join Fever Kayak Fishing and listen to the serene Singapore night at kelongs (houses on stilts) around Pulau Ubin, a little offshore island. You’ll be fishing under the stars, so you can leave your sun protection at home.
The activity starts in the evening which is when bigger fishes come out and become active. Catch some Mangrove Jack, Barramundi, Grouper, or even sharks lurking below your kayak.
21. Go to a 24-hour Spa

Don’t have the time to get out of the airport? The crown jewel of Changi Airport is a nature-themed entertainment center and retail complex.
Marvel at the majestic Rain Vortex Light Show that starts at 8 pm daily, take a cool walk at Canopy Park or visit the SENSE art installation at the west trail of the Shiseido Forest Valley.
You can also take the free airport shuttle that goes right through the mall and past the indoor waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery. You’ll feel like you’re in Wakanda!
