Here’s a rundown on how you can make the best out of your journey around Singapore’s famous island destination.
First-ever tour with magic-infused storytelling
In our younger days, seeing magicians perform on TV shows or at large events was always mesmerising. Now, we get to revive that child-like wonder through a magic tour exploring Sentosa’s lesser-known sights.

Put your family’s problem-solving skills to the test to collect 6 postcards which will lead to an adorable badge featuring their dinosaur mascot, Pepper.
The hunt for the badges will take you to different locations around Singapore including Fort Siloso, Chinatown, and Little India.
Try out all 8 puzzle hunts and you might just get to win the location-exclusive badges, each with a unique variation of Pepper.
Held in collaboration with Monster Day Tours, the hunts will give you a chance to learn more about Singapore’s heritage while competing in thrilling games.
