Who says you need to hike a mountain or road-trip into the wilderness to see the stars? Singapore might be a bustling metropolis, but there are still hidden pockets where the night sky puts on a twinkling show. Regardless of whether you’re a budding astronomer, a romantic pair looking to enjoy the night sky, or just looking to escape the city lights for a quiet evening with your family, here are the top spots to lie back, look up, and wish upon a star.
Singapore’s most official stargazing venue, the Science Centre’s observatory is where science meets wonder. Join their stargazing sessions (usually on Fridays), guided by experts who’ll help you explore the night sky with real knowledge and powerful telescopes.

Who knew a historic hilltop could double as a stargazing hotspot? Fort Canning’s open lawns and elevated views provide a surprising pocket of sky to admire the stars. Bring a mat and maybe a ghost story or two for added thrills. Do check out the museum while you're there too!
