Turn up the romance unique date ideas in Singapore, from dreamy dinners to creative adventures.
Running out of fresh date ideas in Singapore? Don’t worry, this city is packed with romantic places and unexpected things to do with your partner. Whether you’re into candlelit dinners, outdoor adventures, or quirky activities that break the routine, we’ve tried them all. Here are the best ways to spend date nights together, including unique dining experiences in Singapore.
1. Kulnari Mystery Golf: Play mini golf while solving a crime
This is mini golf like you’ve never seen it before – intertwined with a murder mystery. Head up the stairs, open the door, and you’re instantly transported to a dark, moody space inspired by 1920s Boat Quay. After a quick introduction, we picked up our golf clubs, golf balls, and scorecard before starting our journey.
The interactive 18-hole game is part mini golf, part detective work, which kept us fully entertained for about one-and-a-half hours. Each person gets up to six shots per hole, with intriguing messages, curious antique-looking knick-knacks, and strange skeletons along the way. Oh, and look out for the hidden slide! We got sidetracked in our attempt to beat our date’s score, so we never uncovered the killer. But fret not, you’ll get the full story at the end.
Tip: visit during off-peak hours (Monday to Thursday before 5pm) to avoid wait times at each hole. We made the best of our weekend experience by stopping at the mid-way 9th Hole Bar for a cheeky little cocktail.
Price: $30 per adult, $25 per child for off-peak hours; $35 per adult, $30 per child for peak hours
Opening hours: Varies by day
Address: Kulnari Mystery Golf, 51B Circular Road, Singapore 049406

A first of its kind in the city, this indoor aerial attraction is a thrilling hang-gliding ride.
Oh, and don’t miss out on Sky Venture, where you’ll conquer your fear of heights while suspended 15m above ground. As Singapore’s largest two-tiered indoor challenge ropes course, it features 16 obstacles that’ll put your balance, coordination and confidence to the test. After all that hard work, let loose on the three Firemen Slides. P.S. one of them is the longest indoor slide in town, standing at 14m high!

Want to unwind from a hectic week at work? Got relationship problems to sort out? Grab your partner and head to Singapore’s only axe throwing range. Axe Factor is located in far-flung Sentosa, so it’s best to drive and make a day out of it.
No worries if it’s your first time, ‘cos the friendly staff will show you the ropes. It’s not as difficult as it looks – even as beginners, we got the hang of it after a few minutes, and our axe started hitting the board more than it bounced off. This oddly-satisfying activity might just solve an argument for you and your date! Tip: if you’re the type to get bored easily, make this a double date so you can chat and chill over the hour-long experience.
Price: $76 per couple for one hour

Inspired by the story of Alice in Wonderland – but with a sassy twist – this immersive concept by Andsoforth offers oodles of fun. Plus, the mystery is elevated as you won’t get details about the location until 24 hours before.
We were thoroughly entertained throughout the two-hour, five-course dinner, from finding the hidden venue to uncovering secret chambers to conversing with quirky characters. You won’t have a dull moment if you go all out in your interactions! With unique dishes set to the theme of each room, the food is just as delightful as it looks. Tip: look out for appearances by the Cheshire Cat and wear comfy clothes for a smooth adventure.

6. Clayful Cafe: Therapeutic pottery painting with coffee and cake
Tucked away at the top corner of Orchard Central, Clayful Cafe offers a lush, green space for a quiet date. With guidance from the team, the process is pretty straightforward and beginner-friendly. Choose from pottery or glass painting and enjoy brunch dishes, drinks or cakes while you’re there. A relaxing, tranquil experience, it’s the perfect outlet for your creative expression.
We picked the pottery option and browsed through a selection of cups, bowls, vases, and figurines like cats and rabbits before settling on uniquely-shaped plates. Next, we filled our palettes with pastel hues and drew our outlines on the ceramic pieces. It’ll take about two to three hours to sketch and paint, so we’d recommend you come prepared with a design reference. After you’ve finished your masterpiece, the team will collect it for firing, and you can return in two to four weeks for collection.

Your honeymoon period may be over, but you can still feel the thrill of the chase with a go-kart race. We recommend HyperDrive at Sentosa for its hair-raising, neon-lit indoor electric circuit experience. Our wait beforehand was a little long, and the actual racing time flew by, but it’s exhilarating when you’re in the moment, zooming around a three-level race track. Even if you don’t have a driver’s license (like us), you’ll leave with a total adrenaline rush.

Take it from us: pottery classes are one of the most relaxing ways to spend an afternoon, especially if you’re perfectly happy spending time with your significant other in silence. The Potters’ Guilt has plenty of one-time options for you to experience the craft, but we recommend the Basic Potters’ Wheel ($535.60 per person) that’s spread over eight sessions.
Thanks to the affable instructors and informal environment, it’s easy to feel completely comfortable here. We learnt how to throw and trim our creations, but glazing was the best part where our creativity got to shine.

Singapore is home to plenty of parks, but Labrador Nature Reserve is one of our favourites. It’s got that perfect mix of calming forest, tranquil sea, and cool war relics. Plus, it’s one of the quieter green spots in the country, which means you can giggle and gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes uninterrupted. We’ve had plenty of deep conversations with our date while strolling around and enjoying the sea breeze.
