This one’s for the adventure seeker. As part of the Fort Siloso Night Experience, guests will be led through a 1.5-hour walking tour of the military museum which features a treasure trove of World War II memorabilia. What’s interesting is that each tour group will be led by a guide who will take you through a realistic experience that resembles the dim setting that WWII soldiers had to endure themselves.

Whether you’re a newbie or a pro skater, indoor roller skating is the perfect activity for you and your friends to try if you’re looking for some wholesome activities to do over the weekend. At HiRoller Indoor Skating, guests can expect to roller skate in a fun and nostalgic discotheque-like setting, all while jamming out to their favourite tunes.

Looking for a cute date idea? Consider visiting the Night Safari with your beau. As part of the experience, here, you can go on a walking trail or hop on the tram to explore and learn more about the fascinating animals in their enclosures.  On the weekends, you can watch the keepers at work and catch the big cats during their snack time, and watch them devour their meaty treats.

Go cosmic bowling

Who says dance party music only belongs in the club? Bust your bowling moves at this hip joint located in the heart of town. The bowling alley comes complete with dazzling disco lights, groovy tunes, delicious bites and lots of booze for you to enjoy through the night. This hidden gem in 313 Somerset is also open till 1am everyday, so it’s perfect if you’re looking for something to do after dinner or even after catching a movie in the evening at Cathay Cineleisure.

Every night, Singapore’s skies sparkle, not so much with stars, but with lasers and LEDs. Music and choreographed fountains dance along by Marina Bay Sands.

Immerse yourself in a symphony of dancing fountain jets, vivid visual projections, and advanced lasers with the light show starting nightly from 8pm, and the water show at 9pm.

With more than 500 board games to choose from, it’s a good thing Mind Cafe closes at 2am, or even as late as 6am on the weekends.

Pay by the hour, and be sure to get some food to munch on while you play through the night.

The Projector screens classics and indie films in the evening and it's perfect if you prefer to go for something a little more different than your usual movie screenings in town. Located at places like Golden Mile Tower and Cineleisure,  it’s got all the vibes the alternative activity-seeker will love.

Get an LED night kite from Kite Culture and head to Marina Barrage where the night breeze makes it perfect for this activity.

Also, no more squinting your eyes at your kite with the sun glaring at you!

If you’re bored, you can shop around Mustafa Shopping Centre that is known to be open 'round the clock.

You’re sure to be entertained shopping all night long!

If you can’t sleep and fancy some chill time, try reeling in some prawns at Hai Bin Prawning.

Located at Punggol, this prawning joint is open 24/7. The prawns here are huge, and there are barbecue pits (that’s included in the hourly fee) for you to roast your victorious win.

Equipment and baits are also included in the hourly fee.

Cycle the night away

There’s nothing like the cool breeze and peaceful roads you can experience when it comes to cycling at night. Besides the lack of sweat from the sweltering heat our country is famous for, the roads are practically empty late midnight, which makes it perfect for cycling.

Grab a few friends and head to one of the many bike trails in Singapore to cycle your night away.

Love football but hate the humid, stifling heat that comes with all things outdoors in Singapore?

Here’s a solution: play football indoors, at midnight. Singapore’s first indoor football stadium, The Cage is open from 8am to 2am for football fans.

With 6 identical five-a-side pitches as well as ventilation fans, comfort areas and a music system for you to play the songs you like, you can spend all night here scoring goals. Make sure to book a slot before heading down!

There’s nothing new about drinking or shopping, but what about the two combined?

You can do so at the popular Don Don Donki by Don Quijote. A one-stop hyper-mart for all your Japanese needs, some of the stores across the island are open 24 hours and have everything you possibly need – from Japanese snacks to clothes to phone cases and more.

Located right inside some of the Don Don Donki outlets in Singapore is Drink Drunk Donki, the bar section of the store serving authentic Japanese beers and sakes.

If you can’t sleep, the best way to work up a sweat and tire yourself out is with a trip to the gym.

Not a fan of overcrowded gyms? Hate waiting for your turn to use the squat rack? We feel you. 

Head to any of these 24-hour gyms in Singapore like Anytime Fitness, where you can work out in relative peace and quiet in the middle of the night.

When was the last time you hit the spa and had a really relaxing, pampering session?

Take a break from the bustle of the city and recharge at these 24-hour spas.

Purchase a spa pass at Spa Nes and walk into a relaxation paradise.

g.spa is another spa oasis that is also 24 hours, with invigorating spa treatments and saunas that ensure you fully relax.

Catch a midnight movie

If overexcited chortles, annoying phone notifications and loud whispering annoy you often at the cinema, why not catch a midnight flick instead?

The cinema will be quiet, and you can have a wider selection of seats to choose from. Just be sure to not choose a horror movie if you get creeped out easily.

Cinemas not your thing? Here are alternative places where you can watch your favourite movies!

Sing your heart out
