Gardens by the Bay music night

The Gardens by the bay do daily music events where the all light up to particular music. Usually two shows at 7:45pm and 8:45pm but this could change. Get updated times here. It’s fantastic to watch. When we were there it was May the 4th which is Star Wars day, so there was a light and music show in the theme of Star Wars. Very magical!

Ride a bike around Sentosa

Sentosa island is just gorgeous! You can hire a bike and ride around or even stay on the island. Sentosa also is the southern most point of continental Asia, so pretty cool to visit and see and get a photo with the sign. You can get to Sentosa by car or enjoy the cable car ride over from the city.

Ride the Luge on Sentosa Island

On Sentosa Island there is a Luge which gives awesome Mario Kart vibes, especially at night when it’s lit up! It is the second Luge in the world after the first in New Zealand. Certainly a fun thing to experience.
