Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow – but Singapore isn’t letting it snow the last time we checked. Don’t be disappointed, though – there are places on the island we can find respite from our sweltering 34°C weather. Amongst the hidden gems in Jurong lies a fun lil’ place, Snow City, where you can experience a winter wonderland all year round.
Located within Science Centre Singapore, the attraction is practically a large snowy playground with slides, bumper cars, and even a shooting arena both kids and adults can enjoy.
As you step into Snow City’s snow chamber, you’re instantly hit with a cold gust of wind. That’s right: a sub-zero environment in Singapore. Your attention probably then turns to the huge slide that’s about 3 storeys high.
Dubbed the Glacier Luge, this 120-long slide is completely made from ice, which means it’s extra slippery. Simply grab a small plastic sled, plop yourself down and hang on tight; by the way, you can go on the slide as many times as you want, so don’t feel shy to take repeat runs.
If you’re no adrenaline junkie, just have a snowball fight near the icy playgrounds and chilly igloos. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Snow City’s got more fun and definitely more snow in store for you.
When you purchase a snow play ticket, admission to Singapore’s first Ice Hotel Gallery is automatically included, so don’t forget to pop by before or after.
Everything here is literally made out of ice. With 5 themed installation zones to explore, you’ll have a ton of ice sculptures to snap pictures with. Stare in awe at a life-sized mermaid, a throne, and Singapore’s iconic skyline sculpted from ice.
Adults, you’ve got an extra incentive to pay a visit – there’s an ice bar where you can enjoy a craft beer or two. Forget asking for ice refills anymore since your drinks are served in an ice glass.
This isn’t like your typical bumper car ride at Timezone Jurong Point. As the name “Drift on Ice” suggests, 2 passengers will get to manoeuvre the bumper car for 5 minutes, literally drifting on ice while crashing into other riders. Sounds fun, right?
Children who want to try this activity must be above 90cm, and those below 1.2m need to be accompanied by an adult.

Once you’re satisfied freezing your butt off in the snow chambers, warm up your body at The Cliff, located just outside Snow City. The Cliff offers 10 climbing lanes of varying difficulties, so if you’re a noob at climbing, just pick the easiest path.
Since 20 climbers are allowed to participate at once, maybe have a friendly competition among yourselves to add a little spice. If you wanna build strong bonds instead, opt for one of the multiple team building activities available too.
Getting to Snow City is easy; if you’re taking the train, alight at Jurong East MRT station. Afterwards, Snow City is just a 10-minute walk away. Alternatively, you can also take the bus no. 66, 178, 198, 355, and 984 and alight at the Aft S’pore Science Ctr bus stop (stop ID: 28261). Once you’ve gotten off, Snow City is a 2-minute walk away.
If you’ve opted to drive or ride into Snow City, you can park your vehicles there as well. The Snow City car park rates are as follows:

Motorcycles: $0.78/entry
