The buzz on what’s happening in Singapore this week
1. We’re shore you’ll love this…
Ever wondered what goes on under the sea? Well, this is your chance to find out. ArtScience Museum and OceanX have come together to present Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath, a large-scale exhibition that takes visitors through the ocean’s layers. Check out original installations, interactive experiences, scientific datasets, and captured footage, all put together by internationally recognised artists, scientists, educators, and technologists.
The exhibition is split into six zones, covering everything from vibrant coral reefs to the deepest reach of the abyss. Keep your eyes peeled for Flock of, where you’ll find a suspended installation of kinetic helium-filled balloons resembling “fish”. You’ll also be mesmerised by Lucida, an immersive light sculpture that makes you feel like you’re underwater as you interact with it.
2. A new men’s mental health concept to aid recovery
Did you know June is Men’s Mental Health Month? In conjunction with the month, Off Days – a new concept designed to improve men’s mental health – will be launched later this June. At the centre of the programme is a card deck filled with expert-backed prompts developed with mental health professionals that can help men navigate emotional conversations in an unintimidating way. A portion of the proceeds from the card deck will go towards sponsoring therapy sessions.
3. Have a slidin’ good time at Sentosa
You’re invited to usher in the sunny season at Skypark Sentosa, which will be relaunched with Skyslides by Klook. This new experience features two distinct slides that stand at 44 metres and offer panoramic views of Sentosa. Skydrop begins with a brief drop element before transitioning into the slide’s curved path, while The Big Klook Slide offers a more relaxed, scenic experience from the same height. Bookings are available via Klook and on Skypark Sentosa’s website.
4. Anyone wants free ramen?
Made you look! On to the deets: from 8 to 19 June 2026, Woke Ramen is offering a free bowl from its new summer series menu… but with a catch. You can only redeem it if your name is Sunny or Summer. What a quirky idea! Just bring along your identification card (for verification purposes, of course) to the Changi Airport Terminal 1 or Compass One outlets and start slurpin’ away.
An homage to Singapore’s perpetually “hot season”, this campaign is all about the brand’s limited-edition ramen bowls featuring orange cheese broth brightened with juicy mandarin orange. But what if you’re not Sunny or Summer? Don’t worry, you can still enjoy the three bowls, starting from $15.90.
5. South Korea’s iconic burger chain lands in the west
After Lotteria’s successful debut at Jewel Changi Airport, South Korea’s leading burger chain is expanding into the heartlands, bringing its signature burgers and sides to hungry diners in the west this time. The Jurong Point outlet will open this July 2026, serving Lotteria‘s best-known menu items including the bulgogi and shrimp burgers, Korean fried chicken, and Shake Shake nuggets. Watch out for exclusive merch and opening specials, which will be rolled out during the store’s opening.
6. Get ready for loads of sweet, sweet deals
June is often synonymous with shopping sales in Singapore. Besides 6.6, shopaholics can also look forward to Amazon Prime Day, which will be held in Singapore from 23 to 26 June 2026. Enjoy incredible deals on tons of products across a wide range of categories, including books, home and kitchen essentials, and more. Plus, free delivery in as little as two days on eligible items.

7. Cj Hendry presents another joyful experience at IMBA Theatre
The acclaimed Australian artist has not one, but two experiences taking place in June. Following Cj Hendry’s Flower Market installation is JuJu World, the world’s first inflatable experience dedicated to the visionary’s JuJu collectible series. Fans and visitors can look forward to limited, large-sized JuJus crafted exclusively for Singapore, and the first JuJu experience in yellow. The ticketed experience will run from 20 June to 18 July 2026 at IMBA Theatre‘s gallery space.
8. Ikea launches its legacy collection to great fanfare
We’re certain you’ve caught wind of the frenzy at Ikea’s stores in Alexandra and Tampines. Well, that’s ‘cos the Ikea PS 2026 collection just dropped! The collection is all about playful functionality, where being practical doesn’t mean compromising on bold colours and fun designs. From inflatable chairs and eye-catching table clocks to flexible floor uplighters and tiered trolleys, the collection pieces promise versatility and character. Head to Ikea Alexandra or Tampines to marvel at the collection in action.
9. A new experiential retail hub opens in Orchard
We’re witnessing the rebirth of Orchard Road – what a time to be alive! Scape is ushering in a new era with the opening of L^ife, a new lifestyle concept. Occupying the premises’ two floors, visitors can check out fashion, beauty, wellness, and more. Besides retail, you can also participate in workshops, life experiences, and content creation.
L^ife’s beating heart is the two-year retail accelerator programme, created by Innovate 360 and the Singapore Retailers Association, and supported by Enterprise Singapore. Brands participating in the programme will gain access to retail space and be able to nurture their capacities to accelerate success through mentorship, training, and business development support.
10. Messina celebrates its first anniversary with a month-long celebration
Has it already been a year since the Australian brand launched in Singapore? That’s right – and Gelato Messina is marking its first birthday with a sweet month-long celebration! It has introduced a limited-edition three-tier birthday cake ($120) featuring three flavours: Robert Browny Junior, Mr Messina, and You Make Me Unicorny. The cake will be available throughout June with a two-day pre-order notice.
Other fun things to look forward to include the return of 10 beloved creations released between now and 15 June 2026, extra scoops available between 4pm and 6pm from 8 to 11 June 2026, and a collaboration with local bean-to-bar chocolate maker Lemuel Chocolate from 16 to 30 June 2026. I scream, you scream, give me that ice cream!
11. Cloudfields’ second chef collaboration focuses on reworked comfort food
Tan Boon Liat Building‘s newest dining destination has taken Singapore by storm, becoming one of the go-to places for food and time around the table. And now, we have one more reason why you should visit this buzzy cafe in Outram. Cloudfields has collaborated with chef Takeshi Araki, formerly of one-Michelin-starred restaurant Esora, on a limited-time menu that reworks familiar fare into elevated creations.
Between now and June 2026, feast on special items like the fried chicken and shiso linguine ($26, a dish blending an umami pasta with oyako-don flavour), and The Roasted Hour ($16, Basque-style hojicha cheesecake served with fresh green apple sauce and whipping cream finished with hojicha powder). But why stop there? Go on and order signatures such as the cacio e pepe fries ($18, a must-get!), negitoro and kimchi tuna meltz ($29), and the tiramisu caffe ($15, a not-so-sweet finisher).
And that’s a wrap on what’s happening in Singapore this week (and beyond).
