Dating can be a really expensive past time in Singapore – but that doesn’t mean you have to stay in for the week before pay day. These ideas are just as good as the normal dinner/drinks/movie options, but are all absolutely FREE!

With so many pretty green spaces in Singapore, a lesiurely stroll (or hike!) makes for a great first date. We recommend Fort Canning Park, Botanical Gardens, Keppel Island and Southern Ridges.
Visit animal shelters

Bond over some furry friends who are in much need of some extra love and TLC too. There are various animal shelters to visit at Pasir Ris Farmway such as Animal Lovers League and Oasis Second Chance Animal Shelter. Just make sure they’re prepared for your visit as unexpected arrivals can upset the animals there. Oh, and make sure your date doesn’t have any fur allegies!
