#things to do singapore 2026

Snapping your own photo strips has become one of Singapore's favourite hangout activities, and there's a self-photo studio for every mood — bright Korean-style booths, retro sticker-photo kiosks, minimalist no-photographer studios and creative concept rooms. The best part is how cheap it is: most booths charge just $10 for two printed strips and throw in free digital copies, so it's an easy add-on to any mall trip or date. We rounded up 6 of the best self-photo studios in Singapore for 2026 and lined them up side by side — Solace Studios, the biggest Korean-style chain with around 20 outlets and playful themed sets; Life4Cut, the K-pop pick with free costumes and idol-collab frames; Dollop Print Club, for nostalgic 2000s NeoPrint vibes plus a digital GIF; Fotomat Studios, a minimalist self-shoot studio for clean editorial portraits; Hana Film, a cosy town studio with a styling station; and Standard Photo Studio, the most creative with concept rooms, pet shoots and film-camera rental. Prices and outlets below were taken from each studio's own site and channels in July 2026.

Escape rooms are one of the last group outings in Singapore that still cost less than a movie-and-popcorn, and the range in 2026 is wider than most people realise — from cinematic, fog-and-lighting rooms that feel like walking into a horror film, to games built entirely around Singapore's own legends and naval history, to VR missions where you and your friends are physically in separate booths but together in a virtual world. We put six of the island's best-known operators side by side with their real, current pricing: LOST SG at GR.iD is the atmosphere king from $23.90/pax off-peak (and kids six and under go free); Trapped at The Centrepoint is the horror specialist with live actors and jump scares, and students get $10 off after 6pm; Xcape at Bugis Village is the biggest chain with 12 themed rooms and over 1.5 million players; Amazing Chambers inside the historic Gedung Kuning teaches you Singapore's legends to escape, with a student rate from $20.90; Lockdown at Marina Square and Harbourfront is the beginner-and-family pick with cute themed rooms plus VR; and Captivate near Dhoby Ghaut is the large-group specialist that can run 20 to 50-plus players at once. Here's who's cheapest, who's scariest, which suits kids and which suits a company team-building day.
