Unique date ideas in Singapore

1. Observatory at Science Centre Singapore

If a stargazing experience sounds romantic to you, take your partner to the Observatory at Science Centre Singapore for a relaxing Friday date night. We booked a slot for the stargazing and digital planetarium live show programme, which lasted for about 2.5 hours, and spent a chill evening with a handful of astronomy enthusiasts.

When all participants have gathered at the Omni Theatre, you’ll be treated to a mesmerising show called What’s Up There?, featuring planets, constellations, solar systems and galaxies. It’s a surreal experience, listening to the speaker calmly narrate the story while enjoying an up-close look at the vast beauty of the universe. Afterwards, we were ushered outdoors, where multiple telescopes, big and small, gave us a glimpse of constellations and planets. It certainly makes for an enchanting evening!

Tip: the gigantic telescopes tend to attract a larger crowd, so get in line for those first if you prefer not to wait.

Best for: A quiet evening spent gazing at the night sky
Price: $17 per person
Opening hours: Every first, second, and fourth Friday of the month, 7.30pm to 10pm

Singapore’s largest indoor adventure centre is home to eight thrilling activities, including gravity-defying obstacle courses, interactive climbing walls, an indoor artificial cave and a 14m-long indoor slide. Take your date to greater heights at Sky Venture, a two-tiered series of 16 challenge rope courses that’ll test your balance, confidence and chemistry.

To keep your pulse racing, head to Singapore’s first indoor Roll Glider. Grip the handlebar tight and glide down a 233m-long track that feels as exhilarating as a roller coaster ride.

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!

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 heightened because you won’t get details about the location until 24 hours beforehand.

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.

5. Kulnari Mystery Golf

This is mini golf in Singapore 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.

Best for: Playing mini golf while solving a crime
Price: $35 per adult, $29 per child for off-peak hours; $39 per adult, $35 per child for peak hours

6. Clayful Cafe

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.

Best for: Therapeutic pottery painting with coffee and cake
Price: Studio fee $30 per adult, $20 per student; $8 to $18 per pottery piece; $8 per glassware piece; top-up $5 for a drink

7. Oche

This isn’t your typical darts bar – it’s way better. The space is classy and vibey, with comfy booths and high tables surrounding high-tech dartboards. But you’re not just flinging darts at the target; the system has loads of entertaining games that will keep you in merry spirits. We gave it a shot as dart newbies and had a ball laughing, eating and drinking all night. So if you’re up for some friendly competition with your date, take aim and score.

8. HyperDrive

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.

Best for: Chasing your date at indoor go-karts
Price: From $46 for adults, $41 for children
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 12.30pm to 9pm; Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 9pm

9. The Potters’ Guilt

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. By the end of eight weeks, we walked away with one-of-a-kind works of art (and unique conversation-starter pieces for our home).

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.

There’s plenty to explore here: historic WWII artefacts, landmarks like the red Berlayer Point Lighthouse and Dragon’s Teeth Gate, the new Keppel Coastal Trail, and the nearby Berlayer Creek Boardwalk for peaceful mangrove sights.

It’s home to all kinds of unique specimens, from plants to mammals to prehistoric creatures.

If your partner’s a curious cat, they’ll love this not-so-secret museum spot. Keep an eye out for the towering diplodocid sauropod fossils, the bones of a gigantic female sperm whale, and the leatherback turtle that was found dead near Siglap beach way back in 1883.
