Valentine’s Day is here again, and whether you’re spoiling your significant other or treating yourself, we’ve rounded up some fun and unique ideas to make the day extra special.
Let’s add an extra dose of love and creativity this year!
1. Marina Barrage Picnic
Let’s revisit a classic: Marina Barrage.
If you have lived in Singapore for any amount of time, you have probably laid out a picnic mat here, flown a kite, or simply just admired the skyline here.
Roll out a cute picnic mat, munch on your favourite snacks, and take in the stunning skyline with your favourite person beside you. Take it up a notch with a picnic setup service complete with fairy lights and comfy cushions.
Alternatively, you can always Grab your preferred bites to be delivered straight to the barrage’s drop-off point. Also, get there early to snag the perfect spot!
This OG spot never goes out of style.

4. Hotpot Date
Indulge in cult-favourite hotpot spots like Haidilao or Beauty in a Pot. Invent new sauces at their condiments bar, or order ingredients you’ve never tried—trying out new things is always fun with someone doing it with you!
Hotpots have even leveled up to open up halal-certified franchises as well, so nobody gets to miss out on this delicious date!
5. Unusual museums
From Keppel Road to the Civic District Area, Singapore is full of art exhibitions to see! Don’t just limit your mind to museums or galleries though, because Singapore is also full of the most unusual exhibits.
For the horror lovers, Hell’s Museum in Haw Par Villa is sure to leave you with thrilling memories; while those looking for a more leisure experience can explore the Vintage Camera Museum or MINT Museum of Toys.
Other niche spaces to view also include The Gem Museum, Singapore Musical Box Museum, and the Chinatown Heritage Centre.
6. Photobooth spree
Go on a photobooth spree with 22 of our favourite photobooth studios this Valentine’s Day, and create memorabilia out of your photostrips.
Cut out your photos into a keychain at Solace Studios, or create a NFC CD keychain at Dollop Photobooth to listen to your favourite couple song wherever you go. Although these are activities listed off the top of our heads, you can expect even more photobooth experiences to pop up along the week of Valentine’s Day.
7. Intimate concerts
Spend the weekend watching a Candlelight Concert playing soundtracks from your favourite animations, artists, or classical musicians. Enjoy soothing music under the architecture of the gothic CHIJMES Hall, intimate chamber of The Arts House, or the prestigious Victoria Concert Hall.
Alternatively, you can watch free performances across the Esplanade every weekend with yummy street food in hand. Free performance venues across the Esplanade include the Esplanade Concourse and DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre at Esplanade, but do keep a lookout for their programmes list for any additional spots!
8. Brain Teasers
A bizarre yet surprisingly fun activity, test your brains by trying out past school worksheets and marking them together. Papers we recommend trying out are timetables practices, mother tongue spelling exercises, and science multiple choice question papers.
If you’re not up for the brain teasing, colouring worksheets to see how you portray the same picture is also a really great way to bond and understand your partner a little better (and get a grasp of their artistic skills).
Valentine’s Day date ideas don’t always have to look like going to a Michelin-star restaurant, because this day is all about showing your love, creating memories, and making your partner feel special. Whichever you choose, remember that it’s the thought, effort, and love that makes it truly special at the end of the day.
