Remember the time when the family spent the weekend out and about? With the gradual Phase 2 reopening, we can't wait to start visiting our favourite venues again.
After being stuck at home for nearly three months, staring at the walls, we’re longing to be back to our theme parks, museums, parks, and other attractions. With more and more places reopening again, we thought we would take a look back at some of the places we just can’t wait to get back to!
1. ArtScience Museum

Home to an array of immersive exhibits, the ArtScience Museum is where you can feast your senses on exhibits that combine art and technology. You can always count on the museum’s interactive exhibits and kid-friendly programs to keep the little ones entertained.

8 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098269 | (After 9 Jul) Thu – Sun: 1 pm – 9 pm (normal hours until 5 Jul)
Reopening: 1 Jul 2020
Thrill-seeking fanatics are probably experiencing withdrawal symptoms from not being able to scream your lungs out in a twisty-turning rollercoaster ride. With more than enough thrill rides and live shows to keep you busy for a day, the Universal Studios Singapore has to be one of the best destinations in Singapore for some mindless fun.
With the USS opening, it seems we won’t have to wait for long before we’re taking nosedives and going around bends on thrill rides. Although a few things visitors should note is that you have to have prior reservation before heading down, and while all the rides will be available, live shows and street entertainment will not.
3. S.E.A. Aquarium

8 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098269 | Sat – Tue: 10 am – 5 pm
Reopening: 4 Jul 2020
The S.E.A. Aquarium is a place of wonder where over 1,000 species of marine lives dwell. It’s also a great place to introduce the little ones to the world under the waters. And yes, you can find the entire cast of Finding Nemo, from the famous clownfish to the vegetarian Hammerhead Shark, here.
While the aquarium will be reopening soon, you will be required to place a reservation before visiting and ticketing is only available online.

18 Marina Gardens Dr Singapore 018953 | Mon – Sun: 9 am – 9 pm
Reopening: 1 Jul 2020 (Flower Dome)
Singapore may look like a concrete jungle at first glance, what with towering buildings and apartments wherever you turn but there is more to our little sunny island than just that, such as the little pockets of nature like Gardens by the Bay.
At the current moment, only the Flower Dome is open and the other places within the grounds such as the OCBC Skyway and Supertree Observatory slated to open in stages later on. The Far East Organization Children’s Garden will also be open to all visitors.
Please note that some (or all even) of the establishments in the list may have changed their opening hours in view of the current Covid-19 situation. We advise you to check with the respective places first before heading out or making plans.
