Expecto patronum! Harry Potter fans in Singapore, referred to as Potterheads, have reason to celebrate as the eagerly awaited Harry Potter: The Forbidden Forest is set to make its debut in Singapore in February 2024. After stunning performances in the US, UK, and Europe, the magic show and light trail will enchant tourists along Sentosa’s seafront route on February 3, 2024.
The event runs from February 3, 2024, starting at 7:45 p.m. to 11:15 p.m., with the last entry at 10:15 p.m., providing approximately 45-60 minutes of magical exploration.
So, people (muggles) who are not familiar with the world of Harry Potter can finally immerse themselves in the mysterious Forbidden Forest, with the opportunity to meet Hagrid’s beloved Buckbeak. This famous exhibition will transform Sentosa’s beach route into a mystical and magical promenade. In light of this, the guests will be surrounded by fantastic animals that readers of the Harry Potter series will recognize from the Forbidden Forest. The forest is full of hippogriffs, unicorns, and sniffers. It promises fans close contact with fantastic animals.

The location is strategically lit to create an open magical path, so visitors will unfortunately not be able to use magic wands and cast Lumos spells.
It is important to note that, on the “magic path,” there are narrow sections towards the end of the path, which can create difficulties for users in wheelchairs, although the path is asphalted and in excellent condition. Guests are encouraged to leave their cars at Beach Station, and due to the limited number of parking spaces, consider using more than just cars.
This exhilarating Harry Potter-themed adventure, organized worldwide themed entertainment produced by Warner Bros. The main trail promises to take guests through favorite scenes from the franchise, namely the crashed flying car and encounters with mystical creatures.

Visitors can preserve wonderful memories by taking photos of scenes from the movies. Could it be Arthur Weasley’s flying car? And maybe that scene of a duel with magic wands. And why not try to create your patronus to light up the forest? After the show, when the sun goes down and the forest gets dark, guests can taste Wizarding-World’s famous Potter’s Butterbeer and buy original merchandise from both film series in the show’s gift shop.
Being environmentally conscious, the Forbidden Forest Experience has partnered with One Tree Planted, allowing visitors to make additional donations to plant a tree after their magical journey.
Tickets for the Forbidden Forest tour are available for purchase starting November 16, with different packages for different preferences and age groups. From a standard ticket to luxury packages, the experience offers a wide variety of options for Potterheads and inquisitive explorers alike.
