31 Best Date Ideas in Singapore (More than Just Food & Drink!)

This is a really fun and unexpected experience for a date. Plus it's only an hour so you can have dinner & drinks after!

Part theatrical experience, part audio storytelling, with beautiful 1960s production set design and walking through the streets of Jalan Besar at night - this immersive street theatrical experience is like nothing we've done before. Put on your walking shoes, and be transported back in time together!

This is one of our favourite date experiences! Tanglin Gin started because our iconic Singapore Sling's main ingredient is Gin - but Singapore doesn't have its own gin! So they concocted all sorts of cool local gin flavours using ingredients in the region, and made some incredibly yummy gin in the jungles of Dempsey!

Here you'll get to smell gin ingredients and later identify them in the gins, and get to taste a LOT of drinks. It's also a gorgeous bar so you can just chill and hang out with your date here after your tasting :)

Our friends love this axe throwing session so much that they've done this on multiple date nights! Here, you'll learn to throw an axe at a target similar to an archery or shooting range and earn points based on where your axe land. Patient instructors are there to teach you the best techniques, and you'll also get your own private throwing area.

This is one of the perfect first dates since it's so unexpected, and even the most artistically-challenged can go wild with a spray can. Spend an hour graffiting your own wall and laugh about it at drinks afterward. It's the perfect way to unplug from your work week, and do something a little silly and unexpected.

A super cosy space, the Dirty Hands Only studio is the perfect date spot to spend a chill afternoon. Listen to the low hum of the potter's wheel, sink your hands into smooth wet clay, and create something beautiful (or wonky!) together.

If you love cafe hopping and brunch on weekends, you'll love this. This is probably Singapore's first and only coffee roasting experience, where you'll hand-make the freshest, most personal cuppa you'll ever drink!

Here you'll get to experience coffee farm-to-table - see the coffee plant growing on the farm; select and roast raw coffee beans over a fire; grind them up by hand; and experiment with different brewing techniques. You'll also get to enjoy a brunch of bagels and churros! (It's Coffee Meets Bagel for real!)

This cool rooftop spot exudes London speakeasy vibes, and will definitely earn you brownie points for being in the know. Learn about organic farming, put on your bee suits to meet the honey bees, and indulge in a honey tasting session with the most unusual honey from around the world. End off the evening with house cocktails!

Nothing keeps a relationship alive than the buzz of excitement 🤩. If you're looking for a thrilling adventure to do with your loved one, this is for you. Get ready to brave through leftover structures from WWII, rampant jungle vines, and wade through ankle-high mud! We strongly recommend this as a double date idea, so invite your other couple friends along for some fun.

This private wine & dine yacht trip is one of the most unique ways to celebrate a proposal or special anniversary. You'll head out on a 4-hour yacht trip to Lazarus island, enjoy a yummy 2-course meal & wine all inclusive, and catch the gorgeous MBS skyline night view from the sea. If you wish, you can also have the added special experience of catching your own fish to add to the meal.

We all know that Chimichanga does some of the best cocktails in Singapore, but we didn't know until recently that they also taught cocktail making, and offered a yummy (light) Mexican meal to cap it all off! This is a really cool experience where you explore a market beforehand to find fresh ingredients, and then get to incorporate it into your own yummy cocktails! Perfect for birthdays and special dates.

This has got to be one of our faves - it's art jamming but with an awesome random twist. You'll get to paint your own ukulele, learn to play it, and then bring it home! You can't take yourself too seriously when you're both learning to play the ukulele, and you'll get to see who can serenade the other better afterward! Perfect for first dates or cool anniversaries.

If you're looking for a bit of cheeky adventurous fun, this is a dream date. Learn the basics of longboarding with your date and by the end of the class you can impress each other with your new techniques! This is perfect for those who don't take themselves too seriously, and want a date with lots of glee.

We love Ubin - it makes us feel like we're travelling back in time. For nature lovers, kayaking among the secluded mangroves of Ubin is super special as it feels like you're getting a proper getaway from the bustle of Singapore. Perfect for couples who are looking for something fun on the weekends!

We know friends who swear that Art Jamming is the best way to spend a date! Not only can you chill out in a zen studio together, chat at your own pace, but you can also create an awesome piece of art. Whether you're good or terrible at art, this will give you lots to talk about afterward!

This is super cool - not only do you get to make your own pizza in a handcrafted brick oven, you'll get yummy pizza & beers to enjoy at the end of the session! You'll raise the fire using sustainably sourced firewood, make your own dough, and top it off with yummy toppings! Perfect for new and old couples who love food and something super unique.

This is one of our favourites for a special surprise celebration! Here, you'll have a beautiful secret rooftop garden all to yourself, where you can enjoy a private movie under the stars 🤩 This comes with 3 cocktails per person, and the host will provide a screen, projector and Apple TV (so you can stream movies from your own Netflix account). You can also bring your own picnic, or order food to be delivered!

If you're feeling a bit burnt out, or are in need of a quick recharge, you should try out forest bathing. It sounds unusual, but it's basically a guided meditation in nature that has been shown to lower stress levels and increase focus. You will come away from this experience refreshed, with a newfound appreciation for nature, and most importantly - each other.

Have you ever heard of Singapore's intertidal zones? Nor had we until recently! These intertidal zones are home to some of the coolest, cutest and weirdest marine life we’ve seen in our life. If you have a date with a wildlife lover, head out to explore our hidden marine life with a naturalist guide. You'll learn lots, plus come away with a newfound appreciation for Singapore's epic wildlife.

If you're looking for something unusual for your home, why not make your own custom rug? It's super addictive, surprisingly easy to learn and you'll get to have your own personalised rug laying in your living room! If you've just BTO-ed and you're dreaming of your new home together, this could be perfect for you :)

If you have a special occasion coming up, why not commemorate it with a private pottery class in a gorgeous lush backyard setting? Here in your own private oasis, you can learn to make special ceramic pieces (i.e. not just cups and bowls), or to customise a ceramic piece to suit your special day. It's a really special and intimate way to spend an afternoon.

This is an amazing value day out on the water! If your guy has always wanted to try their hand at fishing, treat him to a day out on the water on a beginner-friendly fishing trip! Here, he'll learn from fishing pros the basics of fishing offshore, how to use a fishing rod, how to tie your own fishing rigs, and learn the different techniques of bottom fishing, Jigging, Tenya and more! It's a private trip so you can go along and learn too, or just enjoy the sun and sea 🤩

If this is your first date, this is a GREAT conversation starter. At this splat pain session, you'll get to unwind and really let loose in a kooky and colourful way. Splat paint house is the first and only of its kind in Singapore. Here you will literally be able to throw paint at the wall, and unleash your inner Jackson Pollock!

If you and your date love trying out foodie experiences, this is a really unique and heartfelt one. This is a super fun session where you'll learn to make Makgeolli, Korean rice wine. What makes this extra special is that you'll get to do this in the comfort of the lovely home of your host, and also enjoy some yummy Korean snacks while making your very own Makgeolli.

This is great for the couple who wants to try something REALLY different - go kayak fishing! You get to go for a paddle, work out your upper body, and have fun fishing! Where’s the downside?

This kayak fishing takes place on moderate waves and currents, so you can fish at your leisure. It's a short 2-4KM course, so it's really beginner friendly! You might even catch bottom fish such as parrotfishes, groupers, and snappers.

This is a super fun, chilled afternoon - perfect for foodies who love playing with creative ingredients. Catboocha is well-known for infusing local ingredients into their yummy booch (Chrysanthemum kombucha is a REVELATION). You'll get to taste yummy Kombucha with local flavours, and make your own!

Our favourite thing about this workshop is Catboocha's ingredients lab - you'll get to mix and match crazy ingredients to come up with our one-of-a-kind booch! It's really fun for couples looking for a cool afternoon together.

You've already done pottery, but have you heard of the Japanese art of Kintsugi? This 2-hour workshop is probably the only one where you are allowed to break things!

Traditionally, Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — a metaphor for embracing our flaws and imperfections. During this unique workshop, you'll learn to mend broken upcycled ceramics with gold powders to create a one-of-a-kind ceramic piece.

This had us at Churros 😋 If you can't imagine starting your day without your coffee fix, this is a fun one for you! This is specially structured for coffee enthusiasts to explore the origin of coffee beans, and the various techniques to produce the perfect cup of coffee.

You'll learn the hand technique in brewing and the coffee’s roasting profile, and its influence on the final cup’s tasting profile. Our favourite part? You'll get churros to end the workshop!

If you have a special occasion, make it truly memorable by trying out private dining! Private dining is super special to us because not only do you get to experience someone else's gorgeous home, you'll also get to try food that's better than in restaurants! Here at a gorgeous Joo Chiat shophouse home, you'll get to enjoy great Mediterranean food, a stunning heritage Peranakan shophouse and fun-loving quirky hosts with many stories, for an evening to remember. MUCH cooler than the usual restaurant date 😍 

Spice up your weekends by going for this unique date experience - assembling and painting your own paper shoot camera! 📸😬✌️ The best part about the workshop is that you get to be creative with your designs and take home your gorgeous customised camera home ✨

P.S. This paper shoot camera is a digital camera that takes film-like photos! No more spending money on disposable cams 😉

If your date is a candle junkie (like us), this is an amazing treat! In this private workshop, you'll not only learn how to make your own candle, you'll learn how to mix and match essential oils to get the exact scent that you've been looking for. And, each time you light up your customised candle, you'll think of each other 🤩 

This is for the kids at heart (aren't we all?!). We’ve all, as kids, tried our hand at the claw machines in the arcades.

This is an art jam with a touch of whimsy. Here you and your date can claw your way to 5 toilet rolls, and then trade it for a toy bear. Then you can paint the toy bear any way you desire using acrylic paint. Of course, you'll get to bring her personalised bear home! It's a super fun way to relive childhood nostalgia, and you can score brownie points for a super creative date idea :)
