If you’re wondering what’s new to do in Singapore, you can now dive into a pool of sprinkles, soar to new heights at Clarke Quay or zip down a four-storey slide!

The lack of travel has got us digging for new things to do in Singapore on the weekends. Luckily, there are a couple of new attractions — some already opened — for us to look forward to!

1) Museum of Ice Cream

A trip to the Museum of Ice Cream is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Scheduled to open in the second half of 2021, it’s the museum’s first location outside of the United States. And if the Singapore branch is anything like the one in New York, we’ve got plenty to look forward to.

Expect fun, interactive exhibits — like a dreamy sprinkle pool. For those wondering, yes, you can try ice cream. The Museum of Ice Cream offers seven delectable flavours, from peanut butter with salted pretzels to refreshing mango with raspberry. Yum!

For those disappointed by the closure of the G-Max Reverse Bungee two years ago, here’s some good news. Clarke Quay will soon welcome a brand new thrill ride in the second half of the year — the Slingshot.

Riders will be catapulted almost 70 metres into the air, at speeds of up to 160km per hour — 10 metres taller than its predecessor! Slingshot will be located beside the remaining GX-5 Extreme Swing, and is expected to be similarly priced at around S$45 for adults and S$35 for students.

The Sembcorp Cool House, which features Asia’s largest collection of high elevation montane orchids, is already likened to a mini Gardens by the Bay.
