Earthopia Fest, Dinosaurs, Haunts & Sweet Treats - A Lively Friday in Singapore's Sustainable Adventure

Welcome listeners to Things to Do in Singapore—today is Friday, October 24th, 2025, and the Lion City is absolutely buzzing! Singapore’s current vibe? Think tropical sunshine with a splash of adventure. Humidity is cranking up, but the clouds are holding off for now, so it’s perfect weather for exploring the city’s wild mix of cultural happenings, family-friendly fun, and, of course, bizarre sports stories (if you spot a dragon boat zipping by, give them an extra cheer from me, Oly Bennet!).

To set the tone—today kicks off Earthopia Fest 2025 at Dhoby Ghaut Green, Singapore’s first youth-led sustainability festival. This isn’t your average tree-hugging affair. Expect roving performances, coffee-clubbing sessions, eco markets with upcycled treasures, and local musicians jamming under the stars tonight. Soccer, archery, cycling, and more at the Decathlon Circular Bazaar crank things up tomorrow, so dust off your rollerblades and dare to score a futsal goal or two. If you’re chasing dinosaurs, Science Centre Singapore’s Dinosaurs | Extinctions | Us exhibit lets you gawk at life-sized casts of giant prehistoric beasts—think Patagotitan Mayorum, a lizard longer than a football pitch and heavier than ten elephants.

Spooky season hits OC level epicness with HomeTeamNS’s SpoOkober 2025. Both Bedok Reservoir and Khatib branches are morphing into haunted scare houses from 5pm tonight: one’s themed after Old Changi Hospital (don’t trip over the ghouls!) and the other dives into “Haunted Yishun.” Not a ghost-hunter? There’s still carnival games, Halloween crafts, and even a contest for best-dressed, with prizes worth over S$400. Or, go all-in on unlimited ice cream and candy quests at the Museum of Ice Cream’s Halloween celebration—kooky Jack-o-Lanterns, sugary ghosts, plus five wild treat stations.

For culture lovers, the National Gallery Singapore announces the much-awaited “Not Mere Spectators” exhibition, part of the SG60 celebrations this month. This is the spot for understanding Singapore’s multicultural roots—artworks, immersive audio plays, and stories from the ‘60s through now paint the full picture of how the city became a rojak of cultures and flavors. Shake off the sugar rush and head to the ArtScience Museum’s SingaPop! exhibit—it’s a journey tracing Singapore’s musical heartbeat across six glorious decades.

Now, onto today’s local news: Word on the street is the Singapore Flyer’s revamped experience is officially open. You’ll soar above the skyline and dive into a brand-new Time Capsule, where history meets panoramic thrills. For a quieter moment, Jurong Eco-Garden just launched a new playground. Rope pyramids, shade for the little ones, and easy access to the nearby Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle—nature and art, side by side!

Hungry? Kiwami Ramen & Gyoza Bar at Guoco Tower just launched Singapore’s first-ever all-you-can-eat ramen buffet. Eight types of ramen, 25 mains, and freshly grilled gyozas await—so fuel up before dancing with ghosts.

If you’re planning your day, don’t miss:

- Earthopia Fest at Dhoby Ghaut Green for eco workshops and live performances.
- Dinosaurs | Extinctions | Us at Science Centre for hands-on fossil fun.
- SpoOkober 2025 for haunted house action and Halloween crafts.
- Unlimited scoops at the Museum of Ice Cream’s Halloween bash.
- Stroll by National Gallery’s multicultural showcase for a dose of local heritage.

Local tip from your globe-trotting pal Oly: When hopping between events, grab an EZ-Link card (it’s the golden ticket to Singapore’s super-efficient public transit) and don’t be shy about asking locals for directions—they might even send you toward their favorite hawker stall!

Looking ahead to tomorrow—get your running shoes ready for more sports and eco-bazaar games, and keep an eye out for wild Halloween parties lighting up the city’s after-dark scene.
