3. A family-style Valentine brunch
Chef Lino Sauro from Gattopardo Ristorante di mare has unveiled two exciting Valentine’s Day experiences for lovebirds this year. As a father of two kids, he is well aware that Valentine’s Day is not always the easiest day to celebrate for those with tiny tots in tow.

To see
1. What goes on during a night at the museum
Ever wonder what would really happen during a night at the National Museum? Stray into the Treasures of the World exhibition after dark and you might just meet Afonso, a curious Portuguese sailor who journeyed with Vasco da Gama in 1503 in search for the greatest treasure in the world.
During this play, you must be standing or moving in order to join Afonso’s quest and help him in his great treasure hunt.

Have a unique Valentine’s Day where both of you can pick up a new skill together! Learn how to create a miniature garden in this workshop, which is specially designed for couples.

2. Fly solo
It might be the weekend of love, but the singles can have their fun too! Spend your Sunday flying solo on the sand with your best mates at Tanjong Beach Club’s No Strings Attached, where you can shimmy to the poolside beats of DJ Tyler Made, get down with giant twister and more.
Or enjoy a free-flow anti-Valentine’s feast at Dehesa’s first Valentine Rebellion street party. Chef JP’s trademark whole roast pig (roasted for six hours) is served alongside ice cold Estrella beer, wines and freshly-made churros galore.

3. Enter No Man’s Land
Meet the man in black at the bar. Room 426 he says, pressing the hotel keys into your hand. When you get there, you are taken to a truck in the back alley. Your journey has just begun. But this isn’t your story – this is Joo Chiat in the embrace of Katong, a history and geography stolen.
Upon entering No Man’s Land, you may be subject to enclosed spaces, loud noises, darkness, abnormal temperatures and other challenging conditions. You may be asked to confront sensitive themes and people with whom you might never otherwise interact. Are you game?
