Celestial Nights

Moon-gazing is a popular Mid-Autumn Festival tradition, as the occasion coincides with the moon appearing at its biggest and brightest. Attempting to spot the Jade Rabbit? Then you might as well go all out with an actual telescope – and Celestial Nights at Science Centre Singapore offers that experience at the facility’s observatory, on September 25 and 26, for just $4. On the same dates, catch Moon Legends: From Myth to Mission, a digital planetarium show that allows you to explore the moon up close, all without hopping on board a spaceship.

Otherwise, join the free nightly celestial trail, which will take you through curated night zones and outdoor spots at the Japanese Garden. And if you’d like to add some beats to your steps, sign up for Moonbeats: Afterdark – a roving silent disco that covers the great outdoors and eventually ends indoors at the Science Centre’s exhibition spaces (including the mirror maze!), complete with a live DJ.
