Peranakan Museum
Take it in order: the 'What is Peranakan?' question on the ground floor is what makes the third-floor jewellery worth the climb. Small, very pretty and open late on Fridays.

Asian Civilisations Museum
Start with the Tang shipwreck: 60,000-odd ceramics bound for the Gulf, sunk off Indonesia and now shelved by the Singapore River. Do that room properly and the rest makes sense.
- Where: Civic District
- Price: Under S$30
National Gallery Singapore
Free for Singaporeans and PRs, S$20 for everyone else, open daily 10am to 7pm. The big Southeast Asia wing is shut until late 2027; the two monuments and the Singapore collection are not.
- Where: Civic District
- Price: Under S$30
Changi Experience Studio
Jewel's paid attraction about the unglamorous side of flying: trolleys, taxi queues and the people behind them, turned into games. Best with children of six and up who like to compete.
- Where: Changi
- Price: Under S$30
Canopy Park
The basic ticket buys slides, fog and topiary. The nets, mazes and glass bridge are extras, and the right move is one thrill, not the bundle.
- Where: Changi
- Price: Under S$30
Jewel Rain Vortex
The world's tallest indoor waterfall is a storm drain with a publicist. Free to watch, better from Basement 2 and the Skytrain than from the first railing.
- Where: Changi
- Price: Free
Fort Siloso
Guns built to face the sea, turned inland in 1942. Sentosa's quietest attraction holds the island's heaviest story, and you enter it through the treetops.
- Where: Sentosa
- Price: Free
Adventure Cove Waterpark
A 620-metre lazy river that drifts past rays, a reef you snorkel through and a coaster that goes uphill. The waterslide half is the ordinary half.
- Where: Sentosa
- Price: S$30–60
Universal Studios Singapore
The lemurs are gone, the Minions moved in and Mario is being built next door. The smallest Universal park anywhere is finally changing shape, and your old route won't work.
- Where: Sentosa
- Price: S$60 and above
Supertree Observatory
The pod on top of the tallest Supertree used to be a restaurant. Now it's a 50-metre open rooftop with the whole bay laid out; go at dusk on a clear day, and not in a storm.
- Where: Marina Bay
- Price: Under S$30
OCBC Skyway
A 128-metre walkway slung between the Supertrees, 22 metres up, with a little give underfoot. Our pick over the Observatory on a first visit; see your first light show from the ground.
- Where: Marina Bay
- Price: Under S$30
Floral Fantasy
Until 14 March 2027 the flowers overhead share the room with Elsa, Woody and 21 other topiary friends. Bring a child with a Frozen habit, and save the cave at the end for last.
- Where: Marina Bay
- Price: Under S$30

A catch-up goes easier with a shared task. Choose pottery or climbing by the kind of concentration you want, and book a proper introduction rather than winging it.
