PUBLISHED ONFebruary 02, 2020 12:59 AMByKenneth Fong
Whether you're a bored local with a long weekend (or any weekend for the matter) coming up, or it's your first time visiting Singapore, here's a list of free things to do in Singapore that should help you rediscover or explore this island we call home.
TL;DR: FREE THINGS TO DO IN SINGAPORE
HEALTH EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
The government is all about encouraging Singaporeans to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. And that means that there're plenty of (free) activities to look forward to if you'd like to keep fit.
1. GROUP WORKOUTS IN THE HEARTLANDS
The Health Promotion Board (HPB) has weekly initiatives where anyone can join instructor-led group workouts like:
- Body Combat
- HIIT
- Piloxing
- Yoga
and many more.
Check which Health Events are on through Health Hub's event calendar here.
2. DO YOGA WITH YOGA NIKAM
Yoga Nikam is a group of volunteers who teach Hatha Yoga for free. The classes are focused on imparting the basic skill you would need to practise yoga on your own, so you know that it's legit.
Registration is on-the-spot and you need to be there at least an hour in advance to secure your place in class. The classes are usually held in their centres which can be found all over Singapore.
Have a look at the calendar here.
GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS
If you want a place where there's free air-con AND where you can learn something at the same time, there are plenty of galleries and museums which you can visit for free if you're a Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident.
And if you're a tourist who's just visiting, all you have to do is pay a nominal fee - which goes towards conservation and maintenance of the exhibits - in order to enter.
Not exactly free lah for foreigners… but close.
3. AIR FORCE MUSEUM
This one's pretty straightforward. If you're a military nut and love aviation history, then this museum filled with decommissioned aircraft from the annals of the Republic of Singapore Air Force's history should be right up your alley.

If I had to describe what The Animal Resort is… I'd likened it to a kampong zoo.
You'll find farm animals like chickens, ducks, and geese roaming freely. Plus an assortment of fishes, exotic birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, and a retired racehorse - which you can pet and feed.
All of this makes for a pretty interesting experience, especially if the closest you've ever come to a chicken is when it's served deep-fried on a plate.

The Singapore Really Really Free Market is a temporary market where everything is free.
Yep. Not kidding.

So if you've got stuff to give (anything from books to toys to food) or skills to share (poetry writing, hair cutting, and etc.) all you have to do is announce your participation on their Facebook wall and turn up.
And if you'd like to see what's available or just want to experience what the community is like, check their Facebook page to find out where and when the next market will be held!
PLACES OF INTEREST
There're plenty of places of interest to visit in Singapore. But I'll list those that aren't so common, are interesting, or have been forgotten over the years.
40. HAW PAR VILLA
[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/ByUF565grbq/[/embed]
This bizarre theme park is famed for its gruesome depictions of the Ten Courts of Hell from Chinese folklore - if you were a kid who grew up in the 90s, chances are, your parents brought you here for a lesson in traditional Chinese morality.
If that's not your kind of thing, there're plenty of dioramas within the park which depict various scenes from Chinese legends like Journey To The West, and the Eight Immortals.
While the park is free to visit, there's a Journey To Hell Twilight Tour that runs every Friday night from 6:30pm to 8:30pm (excluding Public Holidays). Tickets cost $20 for adults, $10 for children (7 to 12 years old), and $15 for students. Highly recommended for those curious about death and the afterlife. And a great way to experience Haw Par Villa after dark.

41. KAMPONG LORONG BUANGKOK

You probably know that there are two Merlions at the Merlion Park near One Fullerton:
- an 8.6m tall one overlooking Marina Bay, and
- a smaller 2m tall one facing away from its larger sibling
But did you know that there are a total of seven STB-approved Merlions located all over Singapore?
Go on a hunt to find the other five:
- a 37m tall one at Imbiah Station on Sentosa Island (which is about to be demolished soon)
- 3m tall polymarble statue at the taxi drop-off point of Tourism Court
- 3m tall polymarble statue at the highest point of Mount Faber, Faber Point

Everybody knows the polymarble statue of Sir Stamford Raffles which is located at the historic Raffles Landing Site, along the Singapore River.
But did you know that the statue is actually a copy of the original dark bronze statue which was first unveiled on Jubilee Day on 27 June 1887?
Yep, the older, original statue is located a short walk away, in front of Victoria Memorial Hall at Empress Place.
