Put yourselves to the test at the Escape Room
Seeking a thrill this Valentine’s Day? Why not try an Escape Room? A physical adventure game that tests your brains and brawn, this Japanese concept has been popular in Singapore since 2011. Solve puzzles and perform stunts in order to free yourself from the game room that you are trapped in. With a single game taking up anywhere from one to two hours, you’ll want to save more than a quick lunch date for this one.

Get some vitamin ‘sea’ by island-hopping

With white sandy beaches, quiet nature trails and beautiful heritage shrines, there’s something for everyone on the many islands around Singapore. Make a day of island hopping with your date and take some time to soak in the sights and sounds of Singapore’s natural beauty.

Dine in the heart of nature at Botanic Gardens
Dining at a UNESCO World Heritage site is not an experience to be trifled with, but The Halia delivers – great food, gorgeous setting, and generous portions. While this spot is not the best if you want some privacy, it’s still great for a quiet dinner. Romance your date under the lush foliage of the Botanic Gardens here. Located within the Ginger Garden, the menu heavily features the healthy root, which blends perfectly with their signature European flavours.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy a Pop-Up Cinema experience
Old cinemas are becoming obsolete, and Pop-Up Cinemas are becoming increasingly popular. With screenings held in cafes, bars and on rooftops, this is a unique experience that a theatre can never provide. Take your pick from the many movies being screened every week. A ticket costs less than ten dollars and entitles to you to a complimentary drink – cheaper than a theatre screening, and way more interesting.
