Singapore is one of the most exciting cities in Asia. This city has so much to offer, from its bustling downtown area to its beautiful gardens. If you're looking for something to do while visiting Singapore or if you live here and just want to explore more of the country, here are my top 20 things that every traveler should do in this amazing city!
Singapore Zoo
Singapore Zoo is a must-see for animal lovers, as it houses over 2,500 animals from 250 species. Located in Mandai, Singapore Zoo has been open since 1973 and is home to some of the world's rarest flora and fauna.
It is open daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm (except Christmas Day), with free entry for children below 1'1 m tall if accompanied by an adult with admission paid; adults pay S$30 while children above 1'1 m pay S$20 per person (children under 4 years old get free admission).
Night Safari
The Night Safari is a must-see for anyone visiting Singapore. It's not only an amazing opportunity to see nocturnal animals, but you can also go on an exciting safari through the zoo after dark! The lights help guide your way through the park as you explore its many exhibits.
If you're lucky enough to be there during their special events (like Christmas or Chinese New Year), they have even more fun activities planned out for everyone!
Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is a garden and tourist attraction located in Singapore. It has two gardens: The Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest.
The Flower Dome is an indoor garden with tropical plants and flowers, including an orchid collection called "A Symphony of Lights" which is open during special occasions like Chinese New Year.
The Cloud Forest has trees from all over the world, including Southeast Asia, South America, Australia and Africa.
Universal Studios Singapore
If you are looking for a fun day out, Universal Studios Singapore is the place to go. The park has been open since 2010 and has been visited by more than 8 million people in that time.
It takes about two hours to see all of the attractions at Universal Studios Singapore (US1). There are two parks: US1 and Hollywood Dream. If you want to do both parks in one day, we recommend starting at US1 because it opens earlier than Hollywood Dream and closes later (at 7pm).
If you plan on visiting both parks during your trip but don't have enough time during this visit, we suggest making another trip later on so that you can experience everything!
Tickets cost $59 SGD ($45 USD) per person for admission into either park; however if there are special events happening within either park then prices may change depending on what they offer during those times such as discounts or free entry passes etcetera…
Marina Barrage
Marina Barrage is a dam that was built to control the water level in the Marina Bay. It is one of the most popular places for people to walk, jog and cycle. There are lots of restaurants and cafes along this route as well as street performers who will entertain you with their music or dance routines.
Botanic Gardens and Cloud Forest
Botanic Gardens and Cloud Forest is a great attraction for nature lovers. It's a 5-minute walk from the Botanic Gardens MRT station, and is open daily except on public holidays.
Chinatown and Little India
Chinatown and Little India are both great places to visit. You can get a feel for the culture of Singapore, enjoy some great food options, and see some interesting sights. It's also a good place to buy souvenirs if you're looking for something with a little bit more flavor than what you might find elsewhere in Singapore.
For example: If you want something that looks like an elephant but tastes like chicken (and costs less than $1), try one of these delicious treats!
Sentosa Island (Universal Studios)
Sentosa Island is a popular tourist destination in Singapore. The main attraction on Sentosa Island is Universal Studios, which has a lot of rides, shows and activities for everyone to enjoy. There are also many great food options at Universal Studios including McDonald's and Pizza Hut!
You can also shop at the stores near by like Sephora or Forever 21 if you need something new for your vacation.
Merlion Park and Merlion Statue
Merlion Park is a popular tourist destination, and it's not hard to see why. Located on the waterfront in the heart of Singapore's financial district, Merlion Park is home to one of the city's most famous landmarks: a giant statue of a mermaid with her head poking out from behind an open book. This statue has become synonymous with Singapore as a whole, and many visitors make it their first stop when they arrive in town.
The Merlion statue was built in 1972 by sculptor Kan Chee Seng; although he didn't know what to call his creation until he saw someone refer to it as "merlion" (a portmanteau of "mermaid" and "Singapore"). It soon became known as such throughout Singaporean society--and now graces everything from postcards sold at souvenir shops across town to taxi cabs driving around town!
This is the place to go if you want to do a lot of things in one trip!
Singapore is a great place to visit because of the many things you can do. There are many activities to choose from and it's a good idea to book in advance if you want to visit the zoo or do a tour of the city.
