Things to do in Singapore: Dino Dazzle, Sunflower Surprise, and Eccentric Grapplers!

Welcome, globetrotters and thrill-seekers, to Things to do in Singapore with your sporty sidekick, Oly Bennet! It’s Sunday, October 26, 2025, and Singapore’s buzzing like a stadium in overtime—sky’s partly sunny, humidity’s giving everyone that “I didn’t sign up for a free facial” look, and the cool breeze from yesterday’s quick shower means even the Merlion’s in a good mood. According to The New Age Parents, Deepavali’s sparkling up Sentosa, Halloween haunts are everywhere, and new festival vibes are in the air. Whether you’re a culture vulture, family adventurer, or nightlife nomad, today’s lineup is stacked!

First up, for you adventurous souls, the Sentosa Sensoryscape is dazzling till tonight with immersive Rangoli-inspired lights and 7.5-meter mandalas, perfect for Insta glory. If you’re feeling prehistoric, the Science Centre Singapore just unleashed its largest dino exhibition ever—stand under a 40-meter-long Patagotitan and try not to imagine it playing soccer. This roaring fun starts at just $25.90 and even comes with a free plushie while stocks last, so prepare yourself for a Jurassic jolt.

If you’ve got little ones or just love big, quirky flowers, the Sunflower Surprise at Gardens by the Bay is your ticket—fields of sunflowers in every shade from yellow to “wait, are sunflowers supposed to be brown?” are lighting up the Flower Dome from 9am to 9pm. While you’re there, make yourself a sunflower herb pouch for that fresh summer scent, or stick around for crafty sessions all afternoon.

Prefer your action live and a little offbeat? Brace yourselves for the ultimate ‘uncle’s showdown’—Tanjong Pagar Community Centre hosts its first ever pro wrestling event this afternoon, where Singapore’s most eccentric grapplers will rumble for neighborhood bragging rights. The Star reports that the event kicks off at 1:30pm, and if there were ever an Olympic medal for “Most Dramatic Facial Expressions,” these local heroes would sweep the podium!

For families who love a brainy thrill, check out Earthopia Fest at Dhoby Ghaut Green, where eco-warriors of all ages unite for workshops, games, and music to save the planet—with some seriously quirky costumes to boot.

When night falls, the city’s nightlife cranks up its volume. Marquee Singapore welcomes DJ Baby J for an electrifying dance set that’ll keep your feet bouncing faster than ping pong balls at the Table Tennis World Cup. Then over at Universal Studios Singapore, Halloween Horror Nights drags you through scream-worthy haunted houses—brace for four fright zones built to turn the bravest souls into jelly beans.

In local news, chic café lovers, rejoice—KFC Singapore is dropping limited edition Nong Noey merch and spicy Thai-inspired bites across all outlets. Public transport is running smoothly today, but the official visit of Premier Li Qiang means you might spot a few extra VIPs and bustling checkpoints in the downtown core.

Want a classic Singapore day out? Ride the cable car to Sentosa (with new panoramic cars!), explore the National Gallery’s Fernando Zóbel retrospective, and don’t forget to slurp up laksa at a hawker centre—pro tip: For an authentic chill-out, grab a kopi-o-kosong at Amoy Street Food Centre, a favorite spot where bankers and uncles become instant makan teammates.

Did you know Singapore’s unofficial “national sport” is... queuing? Locals can spot a secret food stall from the length of its queue faster than you can say chicken-rice. Truly, patience here is a competitive event.

Coming up tomorrow, iconic Mid-Autumn Festival lantern displays switch on at the Chinese Cultural Centre, and theatre buffs can score last-chance tickets to Cirque Alice at Marina Bay Sands before this wild, Wonderland-inspired show disappears down the rabbit hole.

Tune in tomorrow, because Oly has the lowdown on Halloween block parties and some seriously peculiar street races coming your way.
