When it comes to unconventional entertainment, Singapore treats one and all to countless new experiences. While Singapore is home to innumerable family-friendly entertainment venues, our city also invites adults to take a break from their everyday lives and escape into playgrounds for grownups. The young and young at heart will love going wild in these action-packed venues that offer amusement in many unusual forms.
The newest and largest nightclub in Singapore, MARQUEE Singapore boasts a gigantic 8K monitor, which screens detailed and lifelike animations, as partygoers groove to the music of internationally renowned musicians. In this unique venue, patrons can even ride a slide lit by colourful lights and hop on a giant indoor Ferris wheel, which has photo booths that will capture instagrammable moments. Tell your guests to look out for MARQUEE’s peculiar champagne trains, which are delivered in many attention-grabbing shapes and forms.

After your guests pick a Fragment Room package that they like, sign indemnity forms and don mandatory protective gear, they are free to destroy a room full of breakables with a baseball bat. The Fragment Room is a therapeutic venue that invites its guests to yell as loud as they want and play their own music as they break electronic appliances, glasses, vases and more. The Fragment Room is the first venue in Asia that lets guests break fluorescent items in a black-lit room—add $35 to a package to smash items coated in neon paint. Patrons can also pay extra to destroy additional items like laptops and television sets, or top up to enjoy an unlimited number of glass breakables.
This venue has added a larger room that can contain up to five participants at a time, in addition to its smaller room that can fit a maximum of three participants.

Guests of ZOVB can hurtle down a hill or bowl down giant pins while in the middle of an air-cushioned ZOVB ball. Alternatively, they can put on a bubble suit, also known as a “BLOOP”, and engage in unusual sports like bubble soccer, bubble suit dog and bone, and sumo wrestling. The water version of the ZOVB ball can be rented for pool parties. Unlike the double-layered ZOVB ball for land activities, water ZOVB balls are single-layered with a zipper on one side and allow users to experience what it’s like walking on water!
