Bored of your usual dinner and movie date combo? Give your special someone a day to remember with these unique date ideas.
1. Tour Sentosa on a Segway
Address: Sentosa Segway Tour, Siloso Beach (Opposite Bikini Bar), Sentosa, 51 Imbiah Walk, Singapore 099538 | Tel: 9825 4066 | Opening Hours: 10am – 7.30pm daily (last admission at 7.15pm) | Admission: $15 – $38 (Buy your tickets here.)
Sure, you may have been to Sentosa countless times…but have you toured it on a Segway yet? Didn’t think so.
Surprise your date with a scenic tour of Sentosa, as you both learn to manoeuvre a Segway. The motorised, self-balancing two-wheeler is surprisingly easy to ride, but hey, you can always pretend to lose balance so you can fall into your date’s arms. It’ll be our little secret, we promise.

2. Enjoy the view at Tiger Sky Tower

While you’re still at Sentosa, round off the night with some breathtaking views of Singapore from the top. Towering at 131 metres above sea level, the Tiger Sky Tower in Sentosa is Singapore’s tallest observatory tower. The air-conditioned viewing cabin slowly rises to the top (no roller coasters here, we promise), where you’ll get panoramic views of Sentosa, the Southern Islands and even Malaysia. Remember to double check that your date isn’t afraid of heights though.

Nobody likes a third wheeler on a date…unless the third wheeler is furry, friendly and four-legged. If you and your date are animal lovers, you’ll definitely want to cosy up to the pooches at We are the Furballs (WTF), a dog cafe where you can pet and play with dogs. There is also a separate cafe area where you can get your fill of cafe food.
