9. Our Schools, Our Stories Photo & Video Exhibition


14th-25th Oct



Image credit: Ministry of Education

Most parents only hear about their kids’ school day in one-word answers over dinner. Organised by MOE, the Our Schools, Our Stories Photo & Video Exhibition certainly helps to fill in the rest. This year’s event marks the 9th edition, drawing 2,888 entries across 277 schools. The snaps and clips aren’t just taken by students, but even by teachers and school staff who are part and parcel of their everyday experience.

Even if you’re not a parent of a little one currently in school, we highly recommend this exhibition just to bask in nostalgia, and reminisce about a simpler time. Seeing snippets of school life through someone else’s lens tends to bring back the little things, like recess queues, bags that were far too heavy, and corridors that were never quiet.


Image credit: Ministry of Education

Besides getting to admire all the photos and videos on display, there’ll also be a treasure hunt across the different zones, where the clues are hidden among the showcased stories. Solve it to redeem prizes such as a key chain or plushie.

Venue: 100 Victoria Street, National Library Building, The Plaza, Singapore 188064
Date: 14th-25th Oct

13. Haw Ror Villa 5! – Back From The Dead


Now till 15th Nov


Should the crowd at USS’ Halloween Horror Night prove to be too frightening, Haw Par Villa’s annual scare fest is a good alternative. Dubbed Haw Ror Villa, it has returned to haunt Hell’s Museum for the 5th year running; make no mistake, it still packs a punch frights-wise, making it just the haunt for horror fans.

It’s split into 4 zones, each themed differently and chock-full with suspense around every corner. Zone 1 serves as a precursor to the horrors ahead, as a court official from the 10 Courts of Hell sets the stage with an immersive performance. You’ll make your way through the Gateway of Hell in Zone 2, which is fraught with jumpscares, on top and puzzles to solve for an interactive experience.

On that note, we’ll leave you to find out the rest of the perils that await. It takes around 2 to 2.5 hours to finish exploring all 4 zones, so we recommend having a decent meal before setting foot into this otherworldly attraction. FYI, you can pay for admission tickets to Haw Ror Villa 5! with your SG Culture Pass credits.

Get tickets to Haw Ror Villa 5! – Back From The Dead.

Admission: From $55/pax
Venue: 262 Pasir Panjang Road, Haw Par Villa, Singapore 118628
Date: Now till 15th November 2026
Time: 6.30pm-12am, Daily

15. Bollywood Farms


Now till 31st Dec


We’ll have to unfortunately wave goodbye to an iconic Primary School excursion destination pretty soon, as Bollywood Farms will be shuttering at the end of 2026. As such, take this chance to reminisce about the good ol’ days by swinging for one last look at the idyllic attraction.

We did just that, and found that there’s plenty to see, do, and eat. Explore the 10-acre farm by embarking on a self-guided trail, on which you’ll be able to see their vegetable gardens and fruit-bearing trees. Snap pics by the lotus pond, one of the largest of its kind in Singapore, and frolic amongst the butterflies at the butterfly garden.

Conclude your visit with a pit stop at the farm’s Poison Ivy Bistro, which whips up hearty servings of local delights such as Nasi Lemak and Nasi Ulam. Of course, all veggies used for their dishes here are all harvested right from the nearby gardens.
