You’ve had strange dreams about holidaying in Hokkaido, one moment you were rolling in the snow and next, you were chased by Zushihocky (Hokkaido’s weirdest looking mascot).
You woke up in shock to find yourself stuck still in Singapore. Your red passport can’t wield its power, it has been tucked away in your drawer — because the farthest island you’d possibly set foot on this year is: Sentosa.
Okay, it must have been the tropical heat and the unpredictable torrential rain that caused the nightmare. Your next autumn/winter holiday in Japan will be many months away, so how do you cope with this travel hiatus?
Going for a staycation and turning up your air-con full blast works but honestly, there’s nothing like seeing endless stretches of white land and snow-capped mountains…
Then again, you know this is not possible right now. (We’re still in Phase 2 guys.)
Singapore may be a small city, but it packs a lot of things to do if you know where to look!
For those of you who are yearning for a snowy escape, head over to the west of Singapore where it’s always snowing right here despite the fact that we’re 1-degree above the equator!
Enter Singapore’s first indoor snow centre located within the Singapore Science Centre – Snow City.
To date, Snow City has received an average patronage of some 250,000 visitors from around the world.
Isn’t it incredible to find a spot in Singapore where you can experience wintry days no matter the time of the year? Now you know where to spruce up your Instagram feed for real, instead of using a green screen or Zoom backgrounds.
What to Expect in Snow City
Meet the six snow-loving mascots of Snow City as you embark on an icy cold journey in the Arctic Circle. Experience 100% real snow and cool activities in sub-zero weather!
You are required to put on winter jackets and boots (provided in Snow City) when you enter the premise.
From now till 30 Sep 2020, there’s 30% off Snowplay tickets.
