custom

It’s only getting sweeter at the Museum of Ice Cream this season of love. The attraction has introduced its Night at the Museum series just in time for Valentine’s Day, with fun adult-centric activities when evening rolls around.

The fully-guided and immersive route, dubbed the Cone-nection Cube, is designed to deepen on-site interactions for friends and couples through play with intimate quests for partners and best friends to complete. And then, of course, there’s unlimited ice cream tasting. Once you’re done, you can look forward to a celebratory sprinkle shot at the alfresco bar.

And with the kids out of the way, booze will be served. At the Scream diner, for instance, sip on a welcome drink of floral Hendrick’s Lunar Gin cocktail or mocktail, while the alfresco bar will dole out ice cream, and lots of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages.

Night at the Museum tickets are priced from $48 per person, from Thurs to Sun. Museum of Ice Cream is at 100 Loewen Road, Dempsey, Singapore 248837 Visit its website for tickets and more information.

Go on a puzzle-based hunt
image

Sentosa has recently rolled out various exciting tours as part of the Sentosights experiences to celebrate its 50th anniversary. There’s the ‘Letters from Blakang Mati’ tour, for instance, a game-based puzzle hunt held at Fort Siloso that sends you on a mission to help Pepper, a dinosaur mascot, deliver his letters.

You’ll have to crack codes and decipher clues located all around Fort Siloso – all while learning about the various periods of WWII. Alternatively, hop on a spellbinding tour led by local magician Mr Bottle, who doesn’t just entertain with his quick sleight of hand and street magic performances, but will also clue you in on the history and heritage of Sentosa island. You’ll get to take part too, by solving puzzles individually or in teams.

Psst! You’ll also get to ‘meet’ a lieutenant living in Singapore during the post-war era.

Make your own scent at Scentopia
custom

Scents have a close connection with memories as well as emotions and even behaviours. And if you’re looking to connect through the power of fragrance then a perfume-making workshop could be right up your alley.

Check out Sentosa’s newly opened Scentopia, where you’ll be able to make your own bespoke fragrance (or concoct your signature couples’ scent) using a touch-less aroma machine.  You can choose from both common and unique ingredients, like orchids fragrance oils from Asia and Singapore. And it’s not just perfumes. You can create a room fragrance, reed diffuser, bath oils, or a signature scented candle, too.

That aside, there’s also a perfumery tour ($15, which you can use to then buy something from the retail shop), as well as augmented reality exhibits.

Scentopia is open to only Islander and NTUC card holders for now. The perfume workshop is priced from $95 per person. Scentopia is at 36 Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa, Singapore.
