WeekendList: 21-23 October 2025

From waking up in the deep sea to meeting Wicked in sentosa, this weekend has it all.

1. Singapore Oceanarium Relaunches “Ocean Dreams”

Resorts World Sentosa is bringing back Ocean Dreams — Singapore Oceanarium’s beloved overnight experience — and this time, it’s more enchanting than ever. Running across four select weekends between November and December 2025, the new edition transforms the iconic attraction into a luxurious underwater retreat where guests sleep, dream, and wake surrounded by the mysteries of the deep.

Picture this: a row of elegant glamping tents set within the heart of the Oceanarium, illuminated by the ethereal blue glow of the Open Ocean Habitat. As manta rays and reef sharks glide silently past, guests unwind in comfort while discovering a new kind of staycation — one where luxury meets learning.

Designed to delight families, friends, and ocean lovers alike, Ocean Dreams isn’t just an extraordinary night under the sea — it’s a chance to rediscover the importance of marine life and conservation through interactive storytelling and behind-the-scenes encounters. Expect after-hours tours, exclusive access to marine care areas, and hands-on sessions that reveal how Singapore Oceanarium cares for its aquatic residents.

Tickets for Ocean Dreams are now available here, early reservations are strongly encouraged due to limited slots.

Expect glowing emerald installations, immersive photo ops, themed retail, and dining inspired by the world of Oz — spanning Sentosa Sensoryscape, Universal Studios Singapore, and the Lake of Dreams.

It’s an all-ages experience that transforms Sentosa into a living, breathing fantasy world. Perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking to “discover their good” this festive season.

3. Oktoberfest at Allora Ristorante & Bar

Allora Ristorante & Bar at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport brings the festive spirit of Bavaria to the East with an Oktoberfest celebration — reimagined through the warmth of Italian hospitality.

This sunday, diners can feast like they’re in Munich with a lavish buffet featuring crispy Veal Schnitzel, homemade Spätzle with Hazelnut Pesto, Slow-Braised Pork Ribs with Apple Sauerkraut, and the show-stopping Crispy Pork Knuckle. Each dish captures the rustic indulgence and communal joy that define Oktoberfest. At the same time, the menu takes beer beyond the stein — starring in the velvety Beer & Bacon Cheddar Soup, the BBQ Beer-Marinated Chicken and Lamb Chops, and even the signature Currywurst, now grilled. The carving station adds to the decadence with Slow-Roasted Beef Rib and Duck Breast with Cherry Chocolate Jus, balanced by bright German salads like Gurkensalat and Wurstsalat.

True to Allora’s Italian roots, guests can still indulge in the restaurant’s classics — from the signature One-Metre Pizza and Parmesan-tossed Cheese Wheel Pasta to Parma Ham with Gnocco Fritto and a decadent Seafood-on-Ice spread featuring lobsters and mud crabs. For a global touch, the Shawarma Station rounds out the feast, creating a celebration that’s as vibrant as it is delicious.
