Fun Places in Singapore for Teenagers

Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world consisting of one main island and 63 smaller islands, many of which are uninhabited, according to Singapore Visa. As a prosperous country influenced by many other cultures, Singapore offers a diverse travel experience for people all ages with many fun activities for teens. U.S. visitors need a passport that is valid for six months beyond the date that your trip starts, advises Travel.state.gov.

  1. Physical, Outdoor and Adventure Activities

    • If your teen enjoys nature and the outdoors, visit Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, which offers different experiences throughout the year such as guided tours, art sessions, an interactive wireless learning trail and seasonal migratory birds between September and March. It's also perfect for teens who are interested in digital photography. An alternative activity for teens who prefer physical activities is Wave House Sentosa, where teens can enjoy the experience of skateboarding, wake-boarding and surfing on rides that simulate real waves. Adventurous types may also enjoy Forest Adventure. Consisting of swings, ropes, zip wires and trapezes, this forest-based activity allows your teen to burn off some energy while having a thrilling time.

    Music and Culture

    • Singapore also caters to different musical tastes and there are events throughout the year that celebrate different genres of music. The Mosaic Music Festival is held in March and showcases a diverse range of musical genres, including pop, alternative rock, fusion-funk and folk-rock. May and June are host to both The Singapore Arts Festival, a showcase of international performers, and BayBeats, a festival focusing on rock and indie music. An alternative venue is St. Games. This video games cafe offers teens the opportunity to use the latest equipment to play Rock Band.

    Theme Parks

    • To cool off, head to Wild, Wild, Wet, Singapore's largest water park that offers both a wave pool and various rides, including The Torpedo and The Water Works, a high-speed flume filled with twists and turns. Universal Studios Singapore is another ideal choice for a family with teens. This attraction offers a range of experiences, rides and activities that are based on popular and current films, such as Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure and Shrek 4-D Adventure. Firework displays and street performances are another aspect of the entertainment offered here.

    Something Different

    • While in Singapore, your teen can explore some unusual activities that he may not have the opportunity to experience in a different location. Flight Experience Singapore simulates flying a Boeing 747 and has realistic visuals and avionics. Sessions are led by real pilots and you choose your own flight options, including the destination. You can also buy a DVD of your simulated flight as a memento of your day. Sentosa Island, Singapore, offers one of the most interesting and unusual attractions of all. Finally, Skyline Luge is a three-wheeled gravity ride that allows riders to control the speed of their own descent on a purpose built track, choosing between The Dragon Trail and The Jungle Trail.
