The 8 Best Things to Do at Night in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best things to do at night in Singapore in 2026 are the Night Safari, the free Spectra and Garden Rhapsody light shows, Wings of Time on Sentosa and the Rain Vortex show at Jewel. The Singapore Flyer, a river cruise and Satay Street at Lau Pa Sat make easy evening plans.

Singapore is safe and well lit after dark, and many of its best sights are built for the evening. This guide covers shows, wildlife, views and night food rather than bars, so for drinks see our best cocktail bars and best rooftop bars guides. Most light shows are at Marina Bay, Sentosa and Jewel, and the Night Safari is in Mandai in the north, so split them over two nights. For more evening views, see the SkyPark Observation Deck in our best attractions guide. Show times and ticket prices change, so check the official site.
