There are a lot of events happening now and in the coming months. If you are planning a visit to this modern and vibrant city-state, check out these new experiences at your favorite spots in Singapore!
Experience the Wonders of Pandora at the Gardens By The Bay Singapore
The long wait is over! Avatar: The Experience will finally open on 28 October 2022, at Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay Singapore. Cityneon Holdings, Disney Location-Based Experiences, and James Cameron and Jon Landau’s Lightstorm Entertainment have worked closely to come up with an amazing walkthrough event highlighting the beauty and unique storytelling of Avatar – the global blockbuster movie and the highest-grossing film of all time.
If you’re planning a trip to Singapore, you may consider getting tickets to this limited-time Avatar experience. So far, plans include replicating Pandora’s fantastic realms of misty waterfalls, ethereal greens, and mysterious walkways to immerse visitors in this one-of-a-kind collaborative plan. Otherworldly creatures and surprising sights may make their way onto your path, so don’t miss the chance to see how this famous Southeast Asian garden plans to stage this amazing bioluminescent world!
Apart from commemorating the impending premiere of the second Avatar film, this unique experience also marks the 10-year anniversary celebration of Singapore’s Gardens By The Bay. Whether or not you’re planning to visit this incredible backdrop, we strongly suggest visiting this popular tourist attraction. The Cloud Forest is always a big draw, but the Gardens have other sights worth a day of strolling and exploring, such as the Supertree Observatory, the Flower Dome, and the Garden Pod!
Visiting the Gardens By The Bay is an incredible opportunity to learn more about tropical flora and fauna. However, visiting during the run of the Avatar-themed space is an immersive wonder that’ll offer a special glimpse into the movie’s mystical charms. Get a spot for this walk-through experience from 28 October 2022 to 31 March 2023. Klook is the official ticketing partner and you can get 10% off Early Bird tickets to Avatar: The Experience if you book now until 28 October 2022. Enter AVEARLY10 at checkout.

Unwind And Destress At The Hot Spa Singapore
Nothing says “rest and relaxation” quite like a day of pampering treatments at a spa. If you’ve spent hours exploring the sights of Singapore, your body might need the deep soothing that only a day at the spa can give. This is what makes an indulgent day so enticing at The Hot Spa, a relaxation center that’s been open in Singapore since 1996. Recently they’ve offered packages for enjoying their spa facilities: the Relax Indulgence Spa For One or For Two, and a 12-hour spa pass.
The 12-hour spa pass gives you access to Hot Spa’s incredible facilities such as the cinema hall and lounge area. You can take dips in the hot and cool pools, sweat the pain away in the sauna or steam room, then grab a refreshing drink at the bar. This package also comes with their in-house chef’s premium, freshly-cooked meals, desserts, and drinks like coffee, fruit juices, and Milo.
If you want all these privileges plus more specialized treatment to knead the stress out of your body, the Relax Indulgence Spa is a solid choice. This package lets you enjoy a 90-minute full body massage, where you choose one massage style out of these options: aromatherapy, deep tissue, or the Hot Spa signature therapist’s specialty.
This package also comes with your choice of special treatment – either detoxification, cupping, or moxibustion, which burns dried plants over body points to facilitate healing. These extra treatments are well worth the splurge, as they’re often said to help high-tension points and reduce pain.
Detach from the fast-paced, busy days that have worn out your body by trying these Hot Spa packages. Whether you choose to relax solo or invite your family and friends to chill with you, it’s a blissful reprieve to have while in the Lion City. Purchase your ticket now

Dining in Singapore can be a feast for the senses thanks to its melting pot of different cultures and tantalizing cuisines. But what if you could literally elevate your Lion City meal? This is something you can actually do if you try Singapore Flyer Sky Dining, an incredible experience that lets visitors savor multiple courses aboard Asia’s Largest Observation Wheel.

Trying Singapore Flyer Sky Dining is a snap – you can book a package on their official website or through popular tourism activity sites like Klook. Dress a little more snazzily if you plan to try this, as they recommend smart casual attire and don’t allow flip-flops or slippers.
This experience lets you choose a delectable four-course meal: Western, Oriental, or Vegetarian. The Western menu has tantalizing courses like angus steak and smoked duck breast, while the Oriental menu’s hearty soup and braised chicken are full of flavor. The vegetarian options are just as delicious, with dishes such as deep-fried vegetable balls and braised mushrooms. Singapore Flyer regularly changes up these menus, so check if the choices are to your liking before booking!
You’ll be feasting on your chosen dinner menu for two rotations on a Singapore Flyer capsule, and getting a pre-booked package gives you priority boarding so you can skip the long queues for this popular tourist attraction. It’s typically set for two rotations (roughly 60 minutes), but for those who want to celebrate a special occasion, you can book a private sky dining experience so you can have a more intimate meal.
Hop aboard a Singapore Flyer capsule and indulge in a specially-prepared dinner with an incredible view of Marina Bay! It’s a different take on dining under the stars that can feel quite romantic, and it’ll give you an unmatched look at Singapore’s glittering cityscape.

Make Gardens By The Bay the Location of Your Next Staycation
When seasoned tourists think of iconic Singapore attractions, the Gardens By The Bay is often at the top of the list. In the middle of the Lion City’s concrete jungle, this massive nature sanctuary is a flowery respite for weary city dwellers.
Spanning around 250 acres in the heart of downtown Singapore, the Gardens By The Bay were created to enhance the city’s existing greenery and improve Singaporean quality of life. It’s comprised of three gardens: the Bay South Garden, the Bay East Garden, and the Bay Central Garden.
One of the newest things to do here is to book a staycation at the Garden Pod, a boutique hotel consisting of peaceful duplex units surrounded by lush foliage. The units are positioned in a pinwheel pattern so they all offer a unique and fantastic view of Gardens By The Bay and Marina Bay.
The Supertree Observatory is another must-see because of its tall tree canopies and incredible view of Marina Bay. Seven of its incredible Supertrees are designed to gather solar energy as part of their commitment to sustainable living. Snap pics of these before grabbing refreshments at The Social Kitchen! Hot tip: go at night to catch one of the evening light-and-sound Garden Rhapsody shows, where it feels like the trees are coming to life!
The OCBC Skyway is a great place to capture panoramic shots of 12 amazing vertical gardens. Discover incredible ecosystems at the Kingfisher Wetlands or check out the myriad fauna in World of Plants. The Gardens By The Bay has so many natural attractions where people can stroll, learn more about the environment, and enjoy a serene picnic despite the bustle of everyday life. We strongly suggest that you set aside a full day during your Singapore trip to enjoy its verdant wonders!
