On the resort island of Sentosa, off the southern coast of Singapore, Adventure Cove Waterpark blends the thrills of a modern water park with close encounters with marine life, a combination that sets it apart from the many waterparks found around the world. Opened in 2012 as part of the sprawling Resorts World Sentosa, the park gathers a clutch of water slides, pools and aquatic experiences into a tropical setting, and its signature attractions reflect its determination to offer something beyo.....

Suspended high in the soaring atrium of a shopping mall, AIRZONE bills itself as the world first indoor net playground set within the void of a mall, a giddy network of bouncy nets, slides and play zones strung between the upper floors of City Square Mall in Singapore. The concept is as simple as it is novel, for instead of building a playground on the ground, the designers have stretched strong, springy nets across the open central space of the mall, allowing children and adults alike to walk, .....

Heart-stopping leaps and giddy heights are the stock in trade of AJ Hackett Sentosa, the Singapore outpost of the bungy operator founded by the New Zealander who first made the sport famous to the world. Perched above Siloso Beach on the resort island of Sentosa, the attraction is built around a purpose-made tower rising some fifty metres into the tropical air, from which the brave can throw themselves towards the ground on the only commercial bungy jump in Singapore. The thrill begins with the .....

The sensation of freefall without ever leaving the ground awaits at AltitudeX, the indoor skydiving centre on Sentosa that operates one of the largest themed vertical wind tunnels in the world. Long known as iFly Singapore, the facility opened in 2011 and rebranded under its new homegrown name in late 2025, but its core attraction remains unchanged, a towering glass-walled flight chamber in which a powerful upward column of air lifts flyers off their feet and holds them suspended, recreating the.....

At the heart of the historic Malay-Muslim quarter known as Kampong Glam, Arab Street is a vibrant thoroughfare whose shophouses, textile merchants and the great golden dome of a nearby mosque conjure the atmosphere of a Middle Eastern bazaar in the middle of Singapore. The street takes its name from the Arab traders who settled in the area in the early nineteenth century, when this district was set aside for the Malay community and for Muslim merchants from across the region and beyond, and it g.....

Shaped like a great white lotus blossom rising from the waters of Marina Bay, the ArtScience Museum is among the most architecturally striking buildings in Singapore, its ten upturned petals housing a museum devoted, as its name suggests, to the meeting point of art, science, culture and technology. Designed by the celebrated architect Moshe Safdie as part of the vast Marina Bay Sands development and opened in 2011, the building is itself a work of art, its sculptural form gathering rainwater t.....

Devoted to the rich and varied cultures of Asia, the Asian Civilisations Museum occupies a stately colonial-era building beside the Singapore River, its collections tracing the artistic, religious and material heritage of the continent from which the great majority of Singaporeans trace their roots. Housed in the grand Empress Place Building, a handsome neoclassical structure that once served as government offices, the museum was established to explore the ancestral cultures of the diverse peopl.....

Rising in tiers of deep red and gold above the streets of Chinatown, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is one of the most visited religious sites in Singapore, a richly decorated temple built to house what is venerated as a sacred tooth of the Buddha. Opened in 2007 on the site of an old market lane, the temple was the vision of its founding abbot, who set out to create a home worthy of the precious relic and a centre of Buddhist culture in the heart of the city, raising the enormous cos.....

Behind its serene Gothic chapel and graceful colonnaded walks, CHIJMES is a beautifully restored complex of nineteenth-century convent buildings that has been reborn as one of the most atmospheric dining and entertainment destinations in central Singapore. The name preserves the memory of the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus, the Catholic order whose nuns ran a school and orphanage on this site for well over a century, and the abbreviation is pronounced like the chimes of a bell, a fitting echo .....

Strung along a bend in the Singapore River, Clarke Quay is a historic stretch of riverside warehouses and shophouses that has been transformed into one of the liveliest dining and nightlife quarters in the city, its restored facades glowing with colour after dark. The quay takes its name from an early colonial governor and was once the commercial heart of the river trade, its godowns and warehouses crammed with the spices, rubber and goods that flowed through the bustling port, loaded and unload.....
