1. Snow City Singapore

The only place in Singapore where you can actually get snow. Real snow. And ice. And maybe some ski bunnies. The small version of “Ski Dubai” in Singapore offers some short but nice slopes to downhill the snow and have some cold fun in the tropics. A great place to come with your kids or local friends that havent seen snow ever before.

5. Extreme Chamber At National Geographics Store

Now this is actually my favorite! The just recently awarded National Geographics Store in Vivocity mall Singapore, offers not only a fantastic retail store, but to actually test the comfi winter clothings you purchase, step into their special “Extreme Test Chamber”, close the dorr, and freeze your nose off.

Temperatures fall to 5 degree celsius and icy wind gives you the final chill. More information about the chamber here (click).
