Unpack the glow-in-the-dark spider webs, put on your witch’s hat, and start carving a pumpkin, because Halloween is just around the corner! It’s not just the spookiest time of year, it’s also one of the most fun celebrations that kids (and big kids) can enjoy together. Luckily, Singapore has plenty of options for spooky activities… Here are just 8 of our recommended Halloween events and activities for 2023:
Halloween Night Luge at Sentosa (various dates, 20-28 October)
If you like fast ‘cars’ and jump-scares then a Halloween Night Luge could be just the ticket. This exhilarating event, titled ‘Revenge of Mariam’, takes place at Sentosa’s luge tracks where for four ‘fright nights’ (20th & 21st Oct, 27th & 28th Oct 2023) the courses will be spookily lit and decorated in a scary Halloween theme. And if that’s not scary enough, expect to get a chill when spooky characters appear from the bushes or ‘things go bump in the night’ around you.
Spooky candlelight concert at CHIJMES (31 October, 7pm and 9pm)
For some sophisticated spine-tingling terror why not listen to Tim Burton’s spookiest soundtracks, including The Addams Family and The Nightmare Before Christmas, performed live in the glow of candlelight at one of Singapore’s most atmospheric buildings, CHIJMES?

‘Trick or Treat’, at the Museum of Ice Cream (13-27 October)

Each year the Museum of Ice Cream adopts a spooky theme as it celebrates the ‘sweetest Halloween’ in Singapore, with a limited-edition ice cream flavour made specially for Halloween, as well as pumpkin spice latte. Come in costume for the full Halloween experience.
