Only at Singapore Oceanarium: Glamping under the sea and more
We’re already singing, “Under the sea, under the sea.”
Aquariums are one of the best places to go, especially if you want to avoid the heat or the rain, or simply want to bask in some calming vibes. Lucky for us, the recently revamped Singapore Oceanarium is upping its game even further, bringing more curated adventures for its visitors.
If you’re planning a visit to the Singapore Oceanarium this year-end, here are the experiences that totally slay. You may want to book them before they sell out!
1. Ocean Dreams – A reimagined overnight glamping experience “under” the sea
Ocean Dreams
Happening over four select weekends between November and December 2025 at Singapore Oceanarium, you get the rare chance to sleep in luxury tents set before stunning marine displays. It will be an unforgettable way to chill “beneath” the sea, and make your friends salty with your after-hours tours, behind-the-scenes access, and up-close animal encounters. Your glamping getaway also entitles you and your fam to full-board dining (dinner, supper and breakfast) and exclusive souvenirs like an amenities pouch and a personalised lanyard.
2. Celebrate World Sea Jelly Day – Fascinating insights about these invertebrates
Celebrate World Sea Jelly Day.
World Jellyfish Day falls on 3 November, celebrating the beauty, diversity, and ecological importance of jellyfish while raising awareness about ocean conservation. From 1 to 23 November 2025, watch these sea jellies float around at Singapore Oceanarium – I mean, discover why they are so mesmerising through guided programmes, workshops, and expert-led sharing sessions. Plus, sink your teeth into sea jelly-inspired sweet treats like the yam-filled sea jelly-shaped mantou, and bring home some sea jelly-themed merch like plushies and keychains.
3. Ocean in Focus: Into the Abyss – Gotta know ‘em all
Ocean in Focus: Into the Abyss.
No cap, humans have explored more of outer space than the deep blue. But on this Singapore Oceanarium guided tour, you may just start stanning for the deep-dwelling animals once you register on your “Pokedex” the beauty and resilience that thrive in the ocean’s darkest depths. You can also get an exclusive deep-sea themed memorabilia after the tour, like getting the badge after clearing the Pokemon gym battle.
4. Fossilist Workshop – Equal parts interactive and scientific
Singapore is the last place you’d think you can excavate fossils, except you can, at Singapore Oceanarium! Get your hands “dirty” (in a fun way) and become a mini palaeontologist for the day with this workshop. Start with learning how fossils are formed and studying these ancient relics. Then, unearth and bring home your very own fossil – yes, an actual fossil!
5. Animal Spotlight: Corals – More than just beautiful “rocks”
Think corals are just rocks? Think again! These living, breathing ocean architects are delicate animals with a unique way of feeding and reproducing.
