I\u2019ve always found nights in Singapore a bit boring \u2013 once the shops close and the sun sets, I never really know what to do. I used to think there wasn\u2019t much going on after dark unless you were into clubbing. But every time I actually sit down and do a little digging online, I\u2019m surprised by how many fun things there actually are to do at night here. From stunning light shows to comforting supper spots, here\u2019s what to do at night in Singapore!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What to do in Singapore at night for a fee<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Clarke Quay: Bar-hopping & clubbing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Okay, hear me out \u2013 I know I said we\u2019d be doing more than just hitting up clubs, but let\u2019s be honest: no night out in Singapore feels complete without at least one wild detour through <\/span>Clarke Quay.<\/b>\u00a0 Minister Shanmugam just announced that restaurant-bars, pubs, and nightclubs in the Boat Quay and Clarke Quay areas can apply for extended liquor licenses till 4am on Thursdays and Fridays, starting August 18. This is part of a year-long pilot programme aimed at revitalising the nightlife scene there \u2013 and I can already picture the area coming back to life, just like the old days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back when Zouk was <\/span>the <\/span><\/i>place (okay, it still kind of is), I used to end up there almost every weekend. Pre-drinks by the river, hopping from bar to bar, dancing till our legs were tired, then grabbing 3am supper at <\/span>Hai Di Lao<\/span><\/i>. If this new initiative works out, I can see Clarke Quay reclaiming its throne as the place to be on a Friday night. So if you\u2019re wondering what to do after midnight in Singapore, look no further!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address:<\/b> Zouk, 3C River Valley Road, #01-05 to #02-06, S(179022)
\n<\/span>Opening hours: <\/b>
\n<\/b>Wed, Fri: 10pm – 3am
\n<\/span>Sat: 10pm – 4am
\n<\/span>Price: <\/b>From $25 for entry<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Night Safari: Wildlife after dark at Mandai<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you mention the word “night”, the second thing that comes to mind is definitely the <\/span>Night Safari<\/b>. I\u2019m honestly not sure if I\u2019ve been before \u2013 maybe when I was really young \u2013 but it\u2019s high on my list for 2025. I\u2019d love to hop on the open-air tram and take that 40-minute ride through six different geographical zones, from the Himalayan foothills to Southeast Asian rainforests. Along the way, you might catch glimpses of elephants, tigers, tapirs, and other nocturnal animals roaming in naturalistic habitats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing I\u2019ve heard is not to rush in right at opening time. Although the gates open at 6.30pm, it\u2019s better to arrive around 7.15pm or later to avoid the crowds coming from <\/span>Rainforest Wild ASIA<\/span><\/a>. By 8pm, things usually calm down, and it\u2019s easier to get on the tram without too much of a wait. And if you’re planning to catch the Creatures of the Night show, make sure to reserve a seat online a couple of hours before \u2013 it\u2019s free with your ticket, but seats do fill up fast. The show\u2019s about 25 minutes long and runs at 7.30, 8.30, and 9.30pm, with an extra 10.30pm slot on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Address:<\/b> 80 Mandai Lake Road, S(729826)
\n<\/span>Opening hours: <\/b>Daily, 6.30pm – 12am
\n<\/span>Price: <\/b>From $34 (kids), $51 (adults)<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Haji Lane: Hip bars, live music and street art<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you prefer a more laid-back night out, head to <\/span>Haji Lane<\/b><\/a> in Kampong Glam. By day, this narrow lane is famous for indie boutiques and colourful street murals; by night, it transforms into a quirky nightlife haven filled with trendy bars, live music, and a bohemian vibe. Stroll down the graffiti-covered alley and pop into bars with eclectic themes. You might find a cosy speakeasy, a reggae bar, or a cafe hosting an open-mic night. For example, just around the corner on Bali Lane is the iconic Blu Jaz Caf\u00e9, known for its live jazz and open-mic jams. While in the area, you can also admire the view of the beautiful Sultan Mosque nearby. Be sure to also grab a late dinner or snack from one of the many <\/span>eateries at Bugis<\/span><\/a> \u2013 options range from Mediterranean falafel wraps to local hipster cafes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insider tip: <\/b>Many <\/span>Haji Lane bars<\/span><\/a> have happy hour deals until 8pm, so you can start your evening with discounted drinks. Do note that most bars here close around midnight on weekdays and 1 – 2am on weekends, so it\u2019s more of an evening hangout spot than an after-midnight party zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: <\/b>Haji Lane is in the Kampong Glam district. <\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours: <\/b>Streets are open 24\/7; the bars are open from early evening till 12am – 2am. <\/span>
\n<\/b>Price: <\/b>No entry fee to walk around. Expect to spend ~$15-20 for a cocktail or ~$10 for a beer at most bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Cosmic Bowling: Late-night bowling with a twist\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the coolest places to try cosmic bowling is the <\/span>K Bowling Club<\/b>. Tucked inside the 313@Somerset mall, this place transforms into a mini party after dark. Imagine bowling under blacklights and glowing lanes, with music videos on giant screens and a live DJ spinning upbeat tracks on weekend nights. The pins even glow!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

K Bowling has a bar and lounge seating, so you can enjoy drinks or finger food between turns. Challenge your pals to a game, groove to the music, and maybe even hit the dance floor when the mood strikes. It\u2019s a family-friendly spot by day and a trendy hangout by night. Also, wear white or neon-colored clothing if you want to glow under the blacklights \u2013 makes for fun photos!<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: <\/b>313 Orchard Road, #03-27, S(238895)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours: <\/b>Daily, 10am – 1am<\/span>

Ever tried racing down a hill at night on a three-wheeled cart? At<\/span> Skyline Luge Sentosa<\/b>, you can! The Skyline Luge offers gravity-fueled go-kart-like rides down winding tracks on Sentosa Island \u2013 and on Friday and Saturday nights, they operate after dark for a special Night Luge experience. The tracks are adorned with vibrant neon lights after sunset, creating a trippy, colourful path as you zoom downhill. It\u2019s like a real-life Mario Kart, complete with glowing corners and an LED-lit forest around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Start by taking the Skyride (open-air ski lift) to the top, enjoying panoramic dusk views of Sentosa\u2019s skyline and the sea. Then hop on the luge cart \u2013 you control the speed by pressing the handlebars \u2013 and off you go! There are a few different tracks (Dragon Trail, Jungle Trail, etc.), all illuminated in multicoloured lights at night. Feel the cool night breeze as you navigate the bends. It\u2019s an exhilarating yet family-friendly activity \u2013 fun for both kids and adults (children just need to be at least 6 years old or 110cm tall to ride alone).<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: <\/b>45 Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa, S(099003)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours: <\/b>Fri – Sat, 7pm – 9pm (Night Luge)<\/span>

6. GX-5 Extreme Swing and Slingshot: Adrenaline rush in Clarke Quay<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the heart of Clarke Quay, you\u2019ll hear screams piercing the night \u2013 that\u2019s the<\/span> GX-5 Extreme Swing and Slingshot<\/b>, two high-adrenaline rides that will literally fling you into the air. It\u2019s the ultimate nighttime adrenaline activity in Singapore\u2019s nightlife district. The GX-5 Extreme Swing is like a giant pendulum. Up to 5 people are strapped into an open-air capsule, hauled up 40m, then released to free-fall swing over the Singapore River. You\u2019ll drop and swoop at up to 120 km\/h, with the city skyline as your backdrop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Slingshot (located right next to it) is exactly as it sounds \u2013 you and your friends sit in a steel cage ball, and you\u2019re launched 70 metres into the air in 2 seconds flat! It\u2019s like being a human catapult, experiencing G-forces and a brief moment of weightlessness as you bounce and rebound. From the peak of the launch, you get an inverted view of Clarke Quay\u2019s lights (if you manage to keep your eyes open!).<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: <\/b>3E River Valley Road, Clarke Quay, S(179020)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Opening hours: <\/b>Daily, 4.30pm – 11.30pm<\/span>
\n<\/b>Price: <\/b>$45 for the GX-5 Giant Swing, $45 for the Slingshot (per person, per ride)<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Late-night supper and 24-hour shopping: After-midnight local adventures<\/span><\/h3>\n

Two quintessential after-dark experiences to consider are<\/span> supper at Swee Choon Dim Sum <\/b>and <\/span>midnight shopping at Mustafa Centre<\/b>. For over 50 years, Swee Choon has been the go-to spot for <\/span>late-night supper feasts<\/span><\/a>. Chomp down on Swee Choon\u2019s fluffy <\/span>xiaolongbao<\/span><\/i>,<\/span> siew mai<\/span><\/i>, BBQ pork buns, and their legendary<\/span> liu sha bao<\/span><\/i>. The eatery is no-frills (bright lights, simple decor), but the food is delicious and cheap! <\/span>After filling your belly, take a short walk to Mustafa Centre in Little India \u2013 Singapore\u2019s famous 24-hour mega mall. This place is an insomniac\u2019s shopping paradise, a labyrinth of departments stocking everything from electronics and jewellery to groceries, toys, perfume, luggage \u2013 you name it, Mustafa probably sells it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best part: Swee Choon and Mustafa are just a 10-minute walk apart, making for a perfect late-night combo. Start with supper, then walk off those calories in the fluorescent-lit wonderland of Mustafa. By the time you\u2019re done, the MRT may be running again (if you stay until 6am)!<\/p>\n
