Alexa, play “Let It Snow”, ‘cos things are getting chilly (kinda) at these snow events in Singapore.
Brr, it’s cold in… Singapore? Don’t hold off your mulled wine just yet! Enjoying the snow in our tropical city may seem as unattainable as our diet plan for Christmas, what with all the festive feasts, but it’s actually possible. These spots may not have actual powdery white snow like the kind you’ll find at a ski resort, but they’re still frosty enough for you to whip out your thinnest winter wear and get in the Yuletide mood with Christmas music.
Where to find snow in Singapore for 2024

All year
Snow City’s probably the only place in Singapore where temperatures come close to wintery weather. This OG snowy spot brings us a one-of-a-kind snowfall experience every hour, every day. And if you keep up with the brand’s social pages, you might’ve caught wind of the occasional snow rave, which we love. Be sure to spend some time in the coloured ice playground before slipping and sliding down the luge.
