Vintage fans, get ready to experience true vintage from some of the finest collectors in Singapore’s vintage community: The Vintage Fair is back at Journey East for its eighth edition.

With wares ranging from fashion to jewellery, glassware, watches, collectables, décor accessories, and heirlooms, the fair boasts a veritable treasure trove of authentic items from a bygone era.

Can't get enough of escape rooms? Check out Science Centre Singapore's newest attraction, E.S.C. (Escape @ Science Centre). Blending the ever-popular escape room concept with STEM-themed puzzles that test knowledge, skill and tenacity, E.S.C. boasts three rooms with unique storylines and differing physical action levels.

Take on the role of the last humans alive in Museum of Humankind, avatars trying to make their way out of a glitching metaverse in Shangri-La, or desperate people in search of a lost friend in Dr. X (not recommended for young children or the faint of heart).

Interestingly enough, mobile phones are actually required for the Museum of Humankind room. Curious yet?

3. Seven free croissants at Tiong Bahru Bakery

This is no April Fool's Day prank: Tiong Bahru Bakery is giving away free croissants this month.

To redeem your treats, simply purchase any coffee or tea at Tiong Bahru Bakery outlets on April 1 from 10 am till closing time, and whisper "I heard a rumour that I can get free croissants for a week" to the staff. You'll receive a stamp card that can be used to redeem seven free croissants.

A maximum of two croissants can be redeemed per stamp card per day, and you have until April 30 to secure all your croissants.

There’s no limit to the number of drinks you can purchase, and more drinks = more stamp cards = more free croissants.

4. Toa Payoh Heritage Trail
