Weekend Wonders in Singapore: K-Pop, Lanterns, and Ramen Galore

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore! Today is Friday, October 3rd, 2025, and this city is positively humming. The air’s balmy enough to remind you that you’re just 100 clicks north of the equator—warm with a gentle morning breeze and not a single raincloud in sight. The vibe across Singapore is electric, with Children’s Day joy in the air, the Mid-Autumn Festival hitting its colorful peak, and even a dash of Grand Prix excitement hanging over from recent F1 festivities.

If you’re wondering what’s on tap, there’s a smorgasbord of events to match any mood, whether you’re a family day planner, art lover, concert goer, or just ready for weird and wonderful adventure—my kind of energy!

First up, calling all K-pop devotees and culture buffs; the G-DRAGON MEDIA EXHIBITION: Übermensch at Jewel Changi Airport is making fans swoon with five interactive zones, VR experiences, and even a mega flower statue for Insta glory—all wrapping up on October 13th, but best enjoyed while it’s fresh with today’s buzzing crowd. The vibe is less airport, more pop-culture temple.

For the junior jet-setters, KidsSTOP at Science Centre Singapore is rolling out the UNTAME Sensory Theatre: Sky’s The Limit. It’s a hands-on, gravity-defying quest through the history of flight, complete with a pre-show workshop and take-home hourglass for budding inventors—a perfect Children’s Day treat running daily through October 10th.

Prefer your festivals with a side of mooncakes? Gardens by the Bay is sparkling for the Mid-Autumn Festival with lantern displays that would inspire even the most stoic aunties. Meanwhile, over in Jurong, Lights by the Lake at Jurong Lake Gardens turns the park into a wonderland of giant illuminated lanterns, light shows themed after Journey to the West, and tasty bites at the food market—entry is free, and the spectacle runs nightly through October 12th, so bring your cameras (and stretchy pants)!

If you’ve got little ones, today is the special Children’s Takeover at Children’s Museum Singapore, where kids actually run the museum for a change—think smaller docents, bigger smiles. The best part? Entry is free for all kids from now through Sunday.

Night owls and thrill seekers, Universal Studios Singapore flips the switch for Halloween Horror Nights. Prepare for haunted houses, scare zones, and the kind of jump scares that’ll make you spill your bubble tea.

On the local scene, Singapore is abuzz with foodie news. Kiwami Ramen & Gyoza Bar at Guoco Tower just opened Singapore’s first all-you-can-eat ramen buffet—seriously, you can noodle your heart out now. For new openings, the New Bahru ECA: Pit Stop marketplace is a treasure trove of homegrown brands, crafts, and race-themed snacks, timed perfectly with the lingering F1 buzz.

To get around like a pro, don’t miss the Star Wars Pop-up Library at Changi Airport Terminal 3, a brand-new literary galaxy with over 2,000 Star Wars titles and a space-age automated book system—major lightsaber points for whoever finds the cookbooks.

If you’re craving adventure, don’t just stick to the big sights—head west to Jurong Eco-Garden’s new playground for something offbeat and Insta-worthy or catch cultural performances at Lakeside Garden tonight.

Let me slide in a quirky Oly tip: Singapore’s hawker centres might look packed, but table sharing is the local legend’s move. Just ask, “Can I join you?” Grumpy faces will often turn into new foodie friendships.

Tomorrow’s looking just as wild with the Divine Tales After Dark drama at Indian Heritage Centre and more Mid-Autumn light-ups, so grab your calendar and keep it locked right here.
