The best things to do in Singapore this March

Besides wandering through Rainforest Wild Asia or checking in for a nature-themed stay at Mandai Rainforest Resort, here's another reason to visit Mandai Wildlife Reserive: Exploria, a sprawling indoor attraction that transports you across different eras and ‘worlds’ on Earth.

Spanning 10,000 sqm, this immersive multimedia experience ranges from the prehistoric age of dinosaurs to the unseen microbial universe, and even into the eye of a dramatic monsoon storm. The space is divided into five zones, each filled with interactive installations, hands-on games and plenty of photo-worthy moments. Wander through hidden ecosystems tucked within dark caves and the deep ocean. Look up to see Mesozoic dinosaurs soaring overhead, then lean in to explore microscopic realms of plankton and other tiny organisms. One moment you’ll be standing beside polar bears on Arctic ice, and the next, you’re spotting Namaqua chameleons in arid deserts or stepping into the lush worlds of rainforests and coral reefs – all without leaving Mandai. 

Trade your usual night out for romance and gripping drama in the concert hall. Simon Trpčeski & Eliahu Inbal / Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich sees the Singapore Symphony Orchestra take on two 20th-century masterpieces on March 27 and 28 at the Esplanade Concert Hall. The concert is led by legendary conductor Eliahu Inbal, whose career has seen him helm leading orchestras around the world.

The programme opens with Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, brought to life by acclaimed Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski. Having performed alongside eminent conductors at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, Trpčeski brings both authority and sensitivity to Rachmaninoff’s beloved concerto, drawing out its depth and aching lyricism.

The night then takes a dramatic turn with Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 “The Year 1905”, a powerful and cinematic work that captures revolution, unrest and resilience through thunderous orchestration and haunting themes. 

Tickets start at $15 and are eligible for SG Culture Pass redemption – a small price, or none at all, for an evening of lush romance and seismic orchestral power. Book here.

Looking for a standout night out this week? Silent Disco in the Sky at Marina Bay Sands’ SkyPark Observation Deck is Singapore’s ultimate rooftop party. On the last Saturday of each month, head up to the 56th floor, strap on glowing wireless headphones and choose between three DJs spinning funky disco, electronic dance and rock simultaneously. Switch channels anytime to curate your own soundtrack while taking in panoramic city views and dancing under the stars. Keep an eye out for themed specials on select nights to shake things up. Whether you’re going solo or with friends, you’re in for a night of elevated, Instagram-worthy moments. Tickets start from $40 – get yours here.

Disney Cruise Line is lighting up Marina Bay with three nights of spectacular fireworks this March – no theme park ticket required. This kicks off a spectacular two-month celebration ahead of the Disney Adventure cruise's maiden voyage from Singapore in March 2026. From March 13 to 15, 2026, you'll be treated to a magical Disney Cruise Line-inspired sky show. The explosive display traces a playful route through the Disney Adventure cruise’s seven themed areas – from Toy Story Place to Marvel Landing – all synced to songs you already know by heart. 

This celebration isn’t just a one-weekend stunt either. The fireworks are the showpiece of a two-month waterfront takeover called Adventure Begins: A Magical Bay Celebration with Disney Cruise Line, running from February 26 to April 30 2026. Besides Marina Bay, seven locations – including Gardens by the Bay, Esplanade and One Fullerton – will be dotted with Disney-themed photo installations. Full details haven't been released yet, but expect backdrops tied to the ship's zones, such as the Moana-esque Wayfinder Bay and the Big Hero 6-inspired San Fransokyo Street.  

Experience 60 years of David Hockney’s art through his eyes in this immersive installation at the newly opened IMBA Theatre at Gardens by the Bay. Hailed as a central figure in British art and one of the most influential contributors to the pop art movement in the 1960s, Hockney continues to push technological boundaries to create vibrant, attention-grabbing masterpieces.

This 50-minute looped showcase uses a large-scale projection to fill the room, from floor to ceiling, with mesmerising colours, images and sound. It’s divided into six chapters of Hockney’s work, spanning from the start of his career to the present day, giving you a look at his creative process over the years. Accompanied by a specially composed score by American contemporary classical music composer and arranger Nico Muhly, the showcase also lets you hear from Hockney himself as he explains his experimental style.

Want to witness the voice behind some of Disney’s most iconic characters live? Here’s some good news – Filipino actress and vocal legend Lea Salonga, the voice behind beloved films like Aladdin and Mulan, is finally returning to Singapore after more than a decade away to perform at the Esplanade Theatre this March. Lea will be joined by her band and a string ensemble from the Singapore Lyric Opera Chamber Orchestra. Her concert Stage, Screen & Everything In Between will bring you the greatest hits of her career: songs from Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Aladdin, Mulan, and Old Friends, alongside Broadway classics and pop favourites sprinkled in for good measure. 

The FRIENDS sitcom never gets old, and this month, its stepping off the screen into real life with The FRIENDS Experience. This immersive showcase lets fans wander through painstakingly recreated sets from the show's most iconic scenes. Sink into the legendary orange couch, gather your crew around Monica and Rachel’s kitchen table, strike a pose by the iconic water fountain, or kick back and chill in Joey and Chandler’s apartment. There’s also a line-up of replica costumes and props that’ll have you pointing and saying, ‘Oh. My. God.’

Could this be any better? We think not. So grab your bestest friends, as this experience is only available at the Fever Exhibition Hall from March 7 to May 3, 2026.
