Not your typical “things to do in Singapore” bucket list!
Co-written by: Kimberly Lai & Michelle Neo
While we’ve had to put our Travel Bucket List on hold last year, we’re gonna make the most of this year — travel or no travel — with this massive list of things to do in Singapore!
Here’s the twist — it’s not just going to be the usual sights. This time, we dug deep to find unconventional experiences. Imagine exploring Marina Bay Sands on a Segway, learning to dive without oxygen tanks, or smashing bottles with baseball bats.
That said, this bucket list isn’t all crazy. Go ahead and tick off simple things too, especially if you’ve never done it before. Chill on a yacht, catch your own prawns for dinner, and learn how to appreciate tea. They may not be wildly epic, but definitely worth trying at least once in this lifetime — who knows, it could turn out to be a new hobby!
Some experiences are free to do, while others are worth the splurge.
It’s massive list of things to do in Singapore — jump to your favourite section:
Get your heart racing | Learn something new | The great outdoors | Not your usual chill activities | Cultural and historical gems, with a twist | Traveller for a day
