Things to do in Singapore in 2026: official ticket prices

Start with the attraction's own price list, because it shows the full price, any resident rate and which days cost more. Mandai publishes a clear price table. According to Mandai at the time of writing, local resident adult prices are:

Mandai park (local resident adult)	Regular days	Peak days
Singapore Zoo	S$39	S$44
Bird Paradise	S$39	S$44
River Wonders	S$35	S$40
Night Safari	S$48	S$52

Mandai's regular days for most parks are Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays, and its peak days are Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Night Safari uses Sundays to Thursdays, excluding public holidays and the eves of public holidays, as its regular nights. Child and local student tickets cost less (Singapore Zoo is S$27 on regular days and S$30 on peak days), and seniors pay S$25. Tourist prices differ, so check Mandai's page for your ticket type.

What that means for a family weekend: for two local resident adults and two children at Singapore Zoo, Mandai's prices come to S$148 on a Saturday (2 x S$44 plus 2 x S$30) versus S$132 on a weekday (2 x S$39 plus 2 x S$27). That is S$16 more for the weekend visit before any promotion.

At Gardens by the Bay, the outdoor gardens, including Supertree Grove, Serene Garden and the Heritage Gardens, open daily from 5am to 2am, according to Gardens by the Bay. The Flower Dome opens daily from 9am to 9pm (last admission 8.30pm), suggests about an hour for a visit, and lists admission from S$8 for a child. Gardens by the Bay also lists a maintenance closure for the Flower Dome on 16 November 2026, so check the date if you plan a visit then.

Things to do in Singapore best deals in 2026

The best attraction deals in Singapore usually come from visiting on a weekday, buying a multi-park pass, or using a booking site promotion, not from waiting for one special month.

• Weekday visits. Where an attraction uses day-based pricing, like Mandai, weekdays outside public holidays cost less.
• Multi-park passes. Mandai's Destination Pass covers visits to multiple parks with 5 days of access flexibility, and Mandai says it offers savings of up to 50% compared with single tickets; check Mandai's page for the current pass prices.
• Free memberships. Mandai's WildPass is free to sign up for and lists perks such as free birthday entry, so it is worth joining before a visit.
• Booking site promotions. Klook, Pelago and KKday each run their own new-user offers and campaign codes, which change often.
• Free time. Plan the morning around free outdoor spots and pay for one attraction in the afternoon.

Cheapest month for things to do in Singapore: price data

For most Singapore attractions, the price depends on the type of day, not the month, so the cheapest time is a weekday outside public holidays and school holidays. Mandai's own pricing shows this:

• Regular rates for most Mandai parks apply Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.
• Curiosity Cove's regular rate also excludes MOE school holidays.
• Night Safari's regular nights are Sundays to Thursdays, excluding public holidays and their eves.

So if you are planning a long weekend, a Friday visit may be priced as a regular day at most Mandai parks, while a public holiday Monday is priced as a peak day. Months with several public holidays or school holidays simply have more peak days. Crowds also tend to be lighter on weekdays outside school holidays, which makes the visit more pleasant as well as cheaper.

Klook vs Pelago things to do in Singapore price comparison 2026

Neither Klook nor Pelago is cheaper for every ticket; compare the same ticket type, date and inclusions on both at the same time. Each has its own strengths:

• Klook sells Singapore attraction tickets, tours and transport, and runs its own app promotions and campaign codes.
• Pelago, the experiences platform by Singapore Airlines, lets members earn or redeem miles on bookings, and lists perks for Singapore Airlines and Scoot passengers, according to Pelago.
• KKday also sells Singapore attraction tickets and tours, so it is worth adding as a third price check.

To compare fairly, check the ticket type (resident or standard, adult or child), the date, whether it is an open-dated or fixed-date ticket, and the cancellation terms. A slightly higher price with free cancellation can be the better deal for a weekend that depends on the weather.

Klook, Pelago and KKday for things to do in Singapore

Use the booking sites for convenience and promotions, and the attraction's own site to check the base price. A simple approach:

1. Check the official price on the attraction's site, including any resident rate.
2. Compare Klook, Pelago and KKday for the same ticket and date.
3. Go through ShopBack to the site you choose, then book in one session.

Singapore attraction tickets are also sold on Trip.com, Traveloka and Viator, and directly by the attractions, so it is worth checking one or two of them when you compare.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book

Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store. Booking a day out online works like booking a trip: pick your date, compare the attraction's own price with the booking sites, go through ShopBack to the booking site, then pay with your card. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Here is how to work out the saving: your effective price is what you pay at checkout minus the cash ShopBack returns. Check the live Cashback rate on the Klook page, the Pelago page or the KKday page on ShopBack Singapore on the day you book, because rates change during campaigns and can differ by category.

Do promo codes and ShopBack work on the same booking?

Usually, yes, but it depends on the store and the code. A Klook, Pelago or KKday promo code lowers the checkout price, and ShopBack returns cash after the booking is confirmed. Some codes, payment methods or categories can be excluded, so check the merchant's terms on the ShopBack store page before you pay.

Card rewards and ShopBack on the same booking

Card rewards and ShopBack usually both apply, because they come from different places. Your bank pays the card rewards, and ShopBack pays its cash separately. Card promotions can depend on a minimum spend, the payment method or a promo code, so check the merchant's terms on the ShopBack store page and your card's terms before you pay.

Step by step: booking a cheaper weekend in Singapore

1. Pick the day. If you can, choose a weekday or a Friday rather than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
2. Check the official price on the attraction's site, including any resident rate or pass.
3. Compare booking sites. Look at the same ticket on Klook, Pelago and KKday.
4. Go through ShopBack. Open Klook on ShopBack, Pelago on ShopBack or KKday on ShopBack, follow the activation steps and book in one session.
5. Pay with your best rewards card, and keep the e-ticket on your phone.
