March is one of the most vibrant times to visit Singapore. With the local March School Holidays and the colorful lead-up to Hari Raya Puasa (Mar 21), the city is buzzing with energy.

While March brings the occasional tropical "refreshment" (afternoon showers), it shouldn't stop your adventure. Here is how to experience the best of Singapore this month, stay dry, and keep your itinerary on track. 

1. The "Friends" Experience (Asia Tour 2026)

Starting March 7, 2026, the world-famous "The Friends Experience" lands in Singapore. Pivot your rainy afternoon into a visit to Monica’s kitchen or the iconic orange couch. It’s entirely indoors, making it the perfect escape from a sudden March downpour.

2. Sightseeing via the "Dry-Deck" FunVee

Don't let the clouds stop you from seeing the Merlion or Marina Bay Sands. The FunVee Open-Top Bus is a "Rain or Shine" service.

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: If the sky looks grey, grab a seat on the lower deck or the front of the upper deck. It’s air-conditioned, fully sheltered, and features massive windows so you can sightsee in comfort while other tourists are stuck waiting for taxis. Book tickets here online to enjoy 20% off.

3. Total Lunar Eclipse at the Science Centre (March 3)

A rare celestial event! On March 3, 2026, Singapore will witness a Total Lunar Eclipse. The Science Centre Singapore is the place to be for this "blood moon" spectacle. Even if the sky is a bit moody, you can explore the indoor exhibits and the incredible Omni-Theatre. It’s a must-do event for families and space lovers that isn't ruined by a few clouds.

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: Skip the long queues on the day and grab your Science Centre + Omni-Theatre tickets here to ensure you don't miss out on the action!

4. Deep-Sea Discovery at the Singapore Oceanarium

If you’re looking for the ultimate "weather-proof" sanctuary, the newly expanded Singapore Oceanarium is it. Now three times larger than the old S.E.A. Aquarium, it features 22 immersive zones that take you from prehistoric oceans to the deep abyss. You can stand before a massive 36-meter-wide viewing panel and watch Reef Manta Rays and Zebra Sharks glide by—all while staying perfectly dry and cool in the air-conditioned galleries.

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: This is a top pick for families during the March school holidays. Beat the ticket booth lines and book your Singapore Oceanarium tickets here to guarantee your entry!

5. The Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar

By mid-March, the streets of Geylang Serai and Kampong Glam will be transformed for Ramadan. Even if it rains, the bazaar tents are sturdy and the food is hot! It’s the best place to experience Singapore’s Malay culture and try some Ramly burgers or Kueh.

Running until mid-March, this massive POP MART installation across Sentosa features larger-than-life characters. Most are positioned near sheltered walkways or inside the resorts, making it an easy "weather-safe" photo op for your Instagram feed.

7. The Jewel Changi "Rain Vortex" & Canopy Park

If it’s raining outside, go see the world’s tallest indoor waterfall inside! Jewel Changi Airport is the ultimate weather-proof playground. You can hike through the lush Shiseido Forest Valley or dine at world-class restaurants, all under the safety of a breathtaking glass dome.

To make the most of your visit, head up to Level 5 for the Canopy Park, where you can walk among the treetops and navigate giant mazes without worrying about the March humidity.

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: Jewel is a must-visit before you catch your flight home, or as a dedicated day trip. Avoid the ticketing queues at the airport by booking your Jewel Changi Canopy Park and Maze tickets here.

8. Captain Explorer DUKW™ Tour: The Ultimate Splashdown

If you want a tour that is truly "March-proof," the Captain Explorer DUKW Tour is your best bet. These authentic, revamped Vietnam War-era amphibious vehicles are covered, meaning you stay sheltered from the rain while enjoying a 60-minute adventure that spans both land and water.

🛣️The Land Route: Cruise past the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade, and the historic Civic District.
🌊The Splashdown: The highlight of the trip! Watch as the vehicle drives straight into Marina Bay for a spectacular water-level view of the Merlion and the city skyline—a perspective you simply can’t get from the sidewalk.

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: The DUKW tour is incredibly popular for families during the March school holidays and often sells out. Don't risk a "Sold Out" sign at the hub—secure your splashdown and buy your DUKW Tour tickets here.

9. Jurassic World Experience at Gardens by the Bay

Looking for a roar-some way to spend a March afternoon? Head to the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest for the Jurassic World Experience. This immersive takeover brings life-sized dinosaurs into the lush, prehistoric-looking greenery of the conservatories. You can walk among a terrifying T-Rex and the clever Velociraptors, all while being completely sheltered under the world’s largest glass greenhouses. It’s the ultimate "weather-proof" adventure that makes you feel like you’ve stepped 65 million years back in time. This is a limited time event so be sure to visit before it goes away.

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: This is the "hottest" ticket in town for 2026. To avoid the massive queues at the entrance, make sure to book your Jurassic World Flower Dome + Cloud Forest tickets here before you arrive!

10. Museum of Ice Cream (Dempsey Hill)

Looking for a sugar rush to brighten a cloudy day? The Museum of Ice Cream is a pink wonderland that is entirely indoors, making it the perfect escape from the tropical March heat or a sudden shower. It’s a massive favorite for families during the March school holidays, featuring 14 multi-sensory installations, a world-famous sprinkle pool, and—the best part—unlimited ice cream treats in various local and classic flavors!

💡City Tours Pro-Tip: This is one of Singapore's most "Instagrammable" spots and tickets sell out fast, especially on weekends and during the school holidays. Secure your spot in the sprinkle pool and buy your Museum of Ice Cream tickets here.
