What: Rainforest Lumina at Singapore Zoo
When: From July 1, opens at 7.30pm
Where: Singapore Zoo, 80 Mandai Lake Road
Tickets: S$22 (US$16) for adults, S$16 for children aged 3-12
You have never seen the Singapore Zoo like this. For the first time, Lumina Night Walks is taking over the zoo after dark to
blow your socks off with an interactive 1km walk through the tropical rainforest. Rainforest Lumina is not unlike its
cousins in Canada and Japan, which employ good old technology and phenomenal light design to bring Hollywood-worthy
fantasy to reality.

#2 Make friends with cats

What: Singapore Cat Festival
When: July 14-15, 11am-9pm
Where: Level 1 Atrium, Leisure Park Kallang, 5 Stadium Walk
We all know it – you do not own a cat, the cat owns you. Despite this anomaly in our seemingly superior existence, these
highly independent, intelligent and attention-loving creatures know how to make us love every one of their jelly bean toes
for life. Head to the festival to meet other cats and cat-lovers, shop for your feline friends, and maybe even adopt a new
cat.

With flowers all around you, you can’t be blamed for wanting to live in Gardens by the Bay. Photo: Melissa Askew/Unsplash
What: Singapore Garden Festival
When: July 21 – August 3, 9am-10pm
Where: Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Drive
Tickets: From S$12 (adults), from S$6 (senior citizens and children)
The world would be a lot bleaker if flowers did not exist. Landscape artists and floral designers have come from far and
wide to showcase their skill with flowers and foliage. Be sure not to miss the Orchid Extravaganza display in the Flower
Dome.
#4 Eat at one of the world’s best restaurants
Excuse us, Odette, who gave you permission to make us swoon like this? Photo: Odette
What: Modern French cuisine
Where: Odette, National Gallery Singapore, 1 Saint Andrew’s Road
Even if we do not talk about the food, we can all agree on one thing: Odette paints a stunning picture, especially in the
daytime with natural light pouring in. The modern French restaurant, run by chef Julien Royer, ranked 28th in the World’s
50 Best Restaurants list. Tables are being snapped up quickly so do not be surprised if you cannot book anything this
month if you hesitate.

Where: Little Creatures, 36 Club Street
Opening hours: Daily, 8am to midnight
Originally from Fremantle, Perth, famed brewery Little Creatures opened its first Singapore branch at the end of May. It
prides itself on its signature Pale Ale, but also offers other brews, all of which will quench your thirst after a day in the city
(in the Singapore climate, any cold drink is welcome). This family-friendly joint offers hearty meals throughout the day,
with many items portioned to share.
#6 Still hungry? Here’s more food
What’s even better than having a meal at a restaurant? Attending a food festival.
What: Streat 2018 @ Singapore Food Festival
When: July 13 (5pm-10.30pm) and July 14 (Noon-10.30pm)
Where: Empress Lawn

A 17-day food fiesta can be pretty overwhelming, so if you need to pick something out of the long Singapore Food Festival
itinerary, we suggest going for the headline event Streat, where highbrow gourmet meets soulful street food in the many
food stalls and workshops. There is also a ticketed pop-up restaurant run by chef Emmanuel Stroobant (Saint Pierre, one
Michelin star) and chef Haikal Johari (Alma, one Michelin star), serving a five-course meal for S$55 per person.
#7 Watch the World Cup final
When you take that shot, but life says ‘nope’. Photo: Fifa World Cup
What: The World Cup final on a 3m-wide screen at the Timbre+ courtyard
When: July 15, 11pm
D
S Where: 73A Ayer Rajah Crescent
Timbre+ usually hosts live music performances, but for the 2018 Fifa World Cup, it is screening all the matches, including
the final, on a 3-metre LED screen in its courtyard. Dress up in your team’s colours, gather your friends, get ready to
WELLNESS S scream (or argue about the Video Assistant Referee), and enjoy the beautiful game.
