New pop-ups and attractions in June 2026
1. i Light Singapore 2026
The light art festival that turns Marina Bay into the best free night out in Singapore is back for its thirteenth edition.
i Light 2026 runs 5–28 June from the Marina Bay Promenade to the Civic District, with 14 light art installations by 17 artists. The curation this year leans sustainable — solar-powered pieces and recycled material installations dominate the route, with work from local studios alongside. Most of the walk is free; a handful of anchor installations sit inside paid venues along the waterfront.
Date: 5–28 June 2026
Location: Marina Bay Waterfront, Singapore
Opening hours: 7:30-10:30pm
2. Playtime Comes Alive — VivoCity
Toy Story 5 doesn’t open until July — but VivoCity’s month-long lead-up activation starts next month.
Playtime Comes Alive, the upcoming Toy Story pop-up, takes over VivoCity’s Level 1 atrium and outdoor courts with life-size character setups, a photo trail, and merchandise drops tied to the film’s release.
The Funko Pop exclusives are the ones to take note of, with limited stock per drop and no restocks confirmed.
Date: 29 May–28 June 2026
Location: VivoCity, 1 HarbourFront Walk, Singapore 098585
Opening hours: 10am-10pm
3. Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett
Skypark Sentosa is relaunching with two dry slides built 44 metres above Siloso Beach — and one of them is a world record holder.
Developed in partnership with Klook, the new addition centres on two distinct rides: Skydrop, a near-vertical drop slide that holds the title of the world’s tallest land-based drop slide, and The Big Klook Slide, the more approachable option for anyone after the height without the freefall. Both sit at 44 metres, making them the tallest dry slides in Southeast Asia, with views over Siloso Beach on the way down.
After dark, the whole structure is lit up — the evening version is worth the separate trip.
Date: Opening 7 June onwards
Location: 30 Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa Island, Singapore 099018
Opening hours: TBC
4. Disney Dessert Besties Pop-Up
Disney’s plushie dessert characters are doing a four-mall tour this month — and if your nearest mall is late in the rotation, the window is tighter than it looks.
The pop-up opens at Great World City (27 May–7 June), then moves to Seletar Mall (9–14 June), Tanglin Mall (16–21 June), and Pasir Ris Mall (23–28 June). Each stop runs under two weeks. The merchandise is the event — plushie and lifestyle items across the Disney Dessert Besties character range.
Dates: Great World City (27 May–7 Jun) → Seletar Mall (9–14 Jun) → Tanglin Mall (16–21 Jun) → Pasir Ris Mall (23–28 Jun)
5. Jewel Blooms × LEGO Botanicals
Canopy Park at Jewel now has a LEGO botanical garden built from 200,000 bricks — included with the standard Canopy Park ticket.
Jewel Blooms × LEGO Botanicals runs 29 May–30 June at Level 5. The installation spreads LEGO flowers and foliage along the main walking path, with a kids’ activity zone at the far end.
Entry is included with any Canopy Park ticket, from $5 for children and $8 for adults on weekdays.
Date: 29 May–30 June 2026
Location: Canopy Park, Level 5, Jewel Changi Airport, 78 Airport Blvd, Singapore 819666
Opening hours: 10am-10pm
6. Design Assembly Summer Market
Taking place at the gorgeous CHIJMES, this curated summer market brings together over 45 independent homegrown labels across fashion, beauty, jewellery, accessories, homeware, kidswear, food, and even fine wines.
Beyond a shopping event, it’s also a chance to meet the makers behind the brands, hear their stories, and uncover thoughtful pieces you probably won’t find elsewhere! Expect plenty of slow-living, artisanal vibes — the kind of market where you go in “just to browse” and somehow leave with candles, earrings, and a tote bag.
Don’t forget to check out Art Assembly, a mini exhibition featuring local artists and photographers displayed in the vestibule.
On 10 June only, enjoy a complimentary summery spritz if you’re the first 100 guests to arrive!
Date: 10 June 2026
Location: CHIJMES Hall, 30 Victoria Street, Singapore 187996
Opening hours:
10 Jun: 6-9:30pm
11 Jun: 10am-7pm
7. Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath
ArtScience Museum’s new ticketed experience is the most technically ambitious show they’ve opened since Future World — two years in development, eight themed zones.
Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath opens next month. The route moves through bioluminescent corridors and pressure-chamber installations, building to a 270-degree deep-sea theatre with an original 12-minute film.
Tickets from $20.
Date: 6 June–1 November 2026
Location: ArtScience Museum, 6 Bayfront Ave, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018974
Opening hours: 10am-7pm
8. Blue Beauties — Flower Dome
Gardens by the Bay’s Flower Dome has a new floral display running through June — and it’s one of the stronger ones this year.
Blue Beauties showcases delphiniums and blue hydrangeas imported from South Africa and the Netherlands, arranged around a central canopy installation. The display runs 26 May–21 June, included with any Flower Dome ticket. Weekday mornings are the quietest window.
Date: 26 May–21 June 2026
Location: Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Dr, Singapore 018953
Opening hours: 9am-9pm daily
Admission: Included with Flower Dome ticket
9. Disney Garden of Wonder
Disney Garden of Wonder is back at Floral Fantasy from 8 June, this time with a new set of Disney characters rendered as floral topiaries across the attraction’s indoor gardens.
The detail isn’t out yet on which characters or how the route is laid out differently from last year’s edition — Gardens by the Bay hasn’t released a full breakdown. What’s confirmed is that it opens alongside the school holiday period and is included with a Floral Fantasy ticket. Worth keeping an eye on the Gardens by the Bay website for the character reveal before booking.
Date: From 8 June 2026
Location: Floral Fantasy, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Dr, Singapore 018953
Opening hours: 10am–7pm
10. NLB Sci-Fi Pop-Up Library
The National Library Board has set up a science fiction pop-up library at Parkway Parade — free with any library card, open until April 2027.
The collection at Level 4 covers classic and contemporary SF alongside manga and graphic novels, with reading nooks and themed display areas. If you don’t have a library card, you can apply on-site. The location runs quieter than the main branches, which is the point.
Location: Level 4, Parkway Parade, 80 Marine Parade Rd, Singapore 449269
Opening hours: 10am-10pm daily
Admission: Free (library card required)
11. Rainforest Wild Adventure Phase 2
Mandai’s Rainforest Wild Adventure opened its second phase on 20 May — the after-dark section is what Phase 1 was missing.
Phase 2 adds two new biome zones and the nocturnal trail, where wildlife encounters run on the animals’ schedule rather than daylight hours. Entry to Phase 2 is a $15 add-on for Singapore residents on top of your base park ticket. Weekday slots have the most availability — the trail caps at capacity on weekends.
Date: From 20 May 2026
Location: Mandai Wildlife Reserve, 80 Mandai Lake Rd, Singapore 729826
Opening hours: 8:30am-7pm
12. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness
One of the most important photographers alive has a full survey at the Singapore Art Museum — and it deserves more attention than it’s currently getting.
Form is Emptiness spans five decades of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s work across two floors at 39 Keppel Rd: the Seascapes, Theaters, Dioramas, and Architecture series. The Seascapes are the ones to stand in front of longest — eight-hour exposures that collapse ocean and sky into a single tonal register. This is the show worth a second visit.
Date: 29 May–4 October 2026
Location: Singapore Art Museum, 39 Keppel Rd, Singapore 089064
Opening hours: 10am-7pm

Expect 360-degree projections, free-roaming VR, and spatial soundscapes engineered to pull you inside the ocean’s hidden worlds.

Location: Science Centre Singapore, 15 Science Centre Rd, Singapore 609081
Opening hours:
Monday: 10am-5pm

14. Ready, Set, Summer! at CapitaLand Malls – PJ Slumber Party

The new flavours are Matcha, Thin Mint, Hazelnut, Coffee, and Mango, available exclusively at participating CapitaLand malls. All you have to do is key in PJPARTY in the CapitaStar app.
Meanwhile, at the PJ Slumber Party, look forward to games, photo setups, a complimentary Earthquake Zer0 Sundae, 50% off selected seasonal mains and 1-for-1 sides. If you show up in pyjamas, there’s a Best Dressed Contest with a $500 eCapitaVoucher grand prize.

New cafes and restaurants to try in June
15. Pompompurin Pop-Up Cafe
Japan Rail Cafe at Guoco Tower is running as a Pompompurin pop-up until 14 June.
The Sanrio collaboration wraps Pompompurin’s golden retriever character around Japan Rail Cafe’s existing menu of Japanese curry and sando. The Pompompurin Latte ($9.50) is the call. Merch stock moves fast — the character tableware and plush sets have been selling out midweek. Walk-ins work on weekdays; book ahead for weekends.
Date: Until 14 June 2026
Location: Japan Rail Cafe, B1-01, Guoco Tower, 1 Wallich St, Singapore 078881
Opening hours:
Mon-Thu: 11am-9pm
Fri-Sat: 11am-9:30pm
Sun: 11am-8pm
16. Hikiniku to Come
Tokyo’s spinning wagyu hamburg — the one that turned a single skewered meat ball into a reservation-only event — is now open at VivoCity.
Hikiniku to Come’s concept is deliberately minimal: one item, a loosely packed medium-rare ground wagyu sphere on a skewer, grilled tableside. The Singapore outpost is at VivoCity. Lunch queues have been building since opening day. Weekday dinner is the practical window for a walk-in.
Date: Opening 30 May 2026
Location: 1 Habourfront Walk #01-102/103 (Lobby F), Singapore 098585
Opening hours: 10am-10pm
17. Torikizoku
Japan’s most reliable flat-price yakitori chain is coming to Singapore — every skewer at one price point, 660 outlets behind the model.
Torikizoku has operated on a single-price format in Japan since 1986, which keeps the ordering simple and the pace fast. The Singapore outpost is confirmed at VivoCity; opening date is still TBC. Follow their official channels — and expect a first-week queue when the date lands.
Date: Opening 29 May 2026
Location: VivoCity, #01-104, 1 HarbourFront Walk, Singapore 098585
Opening hours: 10am-10pm
