Our Third Day in Singapore Had Ice Cream, Cable Cars, Wax Stars and a Peacock We Still Talk About

Our third day in Singapore somehow managed to fit in a peacock, unlimited ice cream, cable car views, wax celebrities, 4D rides, Wings of Time, and one more late-night visit to our favourite fish pedicure pond.

It was one of those days where you keep thinking, surely ab bas, this must be the final big moment of the day, and then somehow one more fun thing keeps appearing.

The Morning Started With Breakfast and a Peacock Moment We Will Never Forget

The third day, once again, started with that same amazing breakfast we had already fallen in love with. By then we already knew the buffet had everything anyone could want, and honestly, it still felt exciting. Good fruit, breads, cheese, juices, eggs, and all the little things that make hotel breakfasts feel extra special when you are on a honeymoon trip.

But the real surprise came while returning from breakfast. That was when we found the peacock I had mentioned before. I still had a croissant in my hand, and when we saw the peacock, it became one of those soft, unexpected moments travel sometimes gives you for free. We fed the peacock with that croissant, stood there smiling like children, and somehow that tiny interaction became one of the most special memories of the trip.

Our First Stop Was the Museum of Ice Cream, and It Felt Like Walking Into a Pink Daydream

After that, we got ready for our first destination of the day: the Museum of Ice Cream. Officially located at 100 Loewen Road in Dempsey, Museum of Ice Cream Singapore is built around playful, interactive installations and what it proudly describes as unlimited ice cream, magical spaces, and unforgettable memories. And honestly, that is exactly what it felt like.

It was a beautiful pinky-pink place, the kind that feels designed to keep your inner child fully active. Our driver was waiting at the hotel gate, and once we were ready, we sat in the car and left for the museum. He was genuinely nice, chatted with us on the way, told us little things about the place, and made the drive feel light and fun.

Inside the Museum of Ice Cream, Every Room Felt Like a New Sugar Rush

As we entered, the first room was the lobby area. The staff gave us a wristband to wear on our hand, a passport, and a sticky badge where we were supposed to write our name and stick it on our dress. Right from the beginning, it felt more like joining a playful little universe than entering a traditional museum.

Moving ahead, we came to the Museum of Modern Ice Cream section, which featured displays around the history and fun facts of ice cream. That part helped set the tone nicely, because the place is not only about photos. It also leans into the culture and nostalgia of ice cream in a very cheerful way.

Then came California Dreamin’, a vibrant pink beach-themed room and our first proper ice cream station. We tasted multiple flavours there, admired the beautiful sandcastle, and just stood for a moment soaking in how joyfully overdesigned the whole room was. It was bright, playful, beachy, and impossible not to like.

After that we reached the Magnet Wall, where visitors can leave messages using alphabet magnets. We wrote our names there and spent some time just playing around with the letters. Nearby there was also a play area with little games like wall magnet tic-tac-toe style fun, doughnut dunk, scoop skill, and even a funny mirror that made you look tiny and fat at the same time. Obviously, we clicked pictures there too.

Then we moved to Scream’s Diner, a retro-themed pink diner space where we had mango and strawberry-mint soft serve. After that came the giant pink inflatable play area, where we jumped around, clicked more pictures, and passed through some really cute passageways that looked straight out of a whimsical photo set.

The Rainbow Tunnel was exactly what it sounds like: colourful, bright, and perfect for photos. Then came Potong Land, a locally inspired room with giant popsicle displays and another ice cream station. After that we entered the playspace, which includes a Singapore-exclusive Dragon Playground, unicorn slides, fruit swings, and more chances to behave like happy children pretending to be responsible adults.

Somewhere in that stretch, we had an ice cream sandwich too, and that one turned out to be my favourite of the day. It tasted amazing. Then came Banana Passage, which was full of hanging pink and yellow bananas, followed by the Infinity Room with its mirrored visuals and melted-ice-cream style illusion. We clicked so many pictures there that by then it felt like our camera roll had become a dessert archive.

And finally, we reached the famous Sprinkle Pool, the attraction’s best-known highlight, filled with millions of plastic sprinkles. We played there, laughed a lot, clicked pictures, and ended the visit exactly the way the place seems designed to make you feel: silly, happy, and very slightly sugar-drunk.

Before leaving, of course, we did some shopping. Keyrings, chocolates, fridge magnets, little travel keepsakes, because clearly we are the kind of people who believe memories should also come with keychains.

Back to the Hotel for a Breather, Then Straight Into Cable Car Mode

After the museum, we went back to our driver and returned to the hotel. We stayed there for a while, freshened up, changed our clothes, and started getting ready for the next destination. In true travel timing fashion, our driver was already ready to pick us up even before we were properly done.

He dropped us to a point from where we had to walk a little to reach the cable car starting point. Then came one of the most scenic parts of the day: we sat in the cable car and just enjoyed the view unfolding around us.

Mount Faber Peak Was Beautiful, Historic, and Very Worth the Ride

The cable car route took us through HarbourFront and onwards to Mount Faber Station at Faber Peak. Official Mount Faber Leisure information describes Mount Faber Peak as Singapore’s only hilltop destination that combines scenic views, heritage, and nature escapes, within one of Singapore’s oldest parks. It is also home to the iconic Singapore Cable Car, which launched in 1974.

The place felt peaceful and elevated in every sense. The top viewpoint was beautiful, with sweeping views of the harbour, Sentosa, and the city skyline. We clicked lots of pictures there, looked around, enjoyed the breeze, and did some shopping too. Mount Faber has that nice mix of scenery and history where you can enjoy the view without feeling rushed.

After that, we took the cable car back towards Sentosa, then caught a bus to Imbiah Lookout, where we did our lunch before heading to the next major attraction of the day.

Madame Tussauds Singapore Turned Into a Full Celebrity Marathon

Next came Madame Tussauds Singapore. Officially, it opened in 2014, and it is much more than just a wax statue stop. The attraction now includes celebrity zones, history experiences like Images of Singapore, Bollywood-focused sections like the Ultimate Film Star Experience and IIFA Awards Experience, plus other immersive add-ons that make it feel bigger than a standard museum visit.

We entered and immediately started clicking a lot of pictures with our favourite stars. Karan Johar, Sridevi, Kareena Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Varun Dhawan, Priyanka Chopra, and so many more. For Indian visitors especially, that section feels extra fun because the faces are so familiar and the photo temptation is constant.

Then we moved into the history-oriented part, which today is presented as Images of Singapore. Officially, it is described as a walk-through journey through Singapore’s extraordinary history, from humble fishing village to a 21st-century powerhouse. That made the section feel more meaningful than we expected, because it was not just visual. It actually gave context to the country we were exploring.

We also saw statues of leaders like Narendra Modi, Mahatma Gandhi, Queen Elizabeth II, Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan, Joko Widodo, Lee Kuan Yew and Kwa Geok Choo, Barack Obama, and others. Then came the sports section, where spotting Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar instantly made us happy, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Yao Ming, and more.

From there we moved into TV and Film, where we saw Vin Diesel, Mahesh Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, Prabhas, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig as James Bond, and many more. Then came the A-List and film-star-heavy zones, including the IIFA Awards Experience. Official Madame Tussauds information notes that the IIFA Awards Experience is the world’s first permanent IIFA Awards Experience, launched in April 2017. That explains why it feels especially theatrical and Bollywood-glamorous.

There we saw Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Anushka Sharma, Kajol, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dwayne Johnson, Liam Hemsworth, and many more. Then came the music section with stars like Lea Salonga, Lay Zhang, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Harry Styles. There was also the K-wave section, which added another whole layer of fan excitement.

The Marvel 4D Experience and 4D Adventureland Kept the Energy Going

During our January 2026 visit, the Marvel 4D Experience was still part of the attraction, and it added a big action-movie burst to the day. The official Marvel 4D description talks about a multi-sensory cinema experience with effects like wind, water, and movement, and that matches exactly how it felt: dramatic, immersive, and very fun.

After coming out of the museum, we started walking towards the street and saw two peacocks there, one white and one colourful. That itself felt like a little bonus scene from the day. But we were not done yet. Next came the 4D Adventureland rides, where there were four games in total. Two were included in our package, and we decided to buy the other two as well because if you are already there, why stop halfway?

• Chaos in Wonderland

• Haunted Mine Ride 4D

• Extreme Log Ride

• Desperados: a 4D interactive shooting game

All of them were fun, and by the time we finished, evening had already started to settle in.

Wings of Time Was the Perfect Grand Finale to the Day

From there, we had to walk back to the bus stop and take a bus towards Siloso Point. While waiting, we clicked more pictures because at this stage that had basically become our default setting. Once the bus arrived, we got on, and from Siloso Point we walked towards Siloso Beach, where Wings of Time was waiting for us.

And honestly, you must watch it if you are there. Officially, Wings of Time Fireworks Symphony is described as Singapore’s daily fireworks show at Siloso Beach, a multi-sensory spectacle with fireworks, 3D projection mapping, lasers, water effects, and the open sea as its backdrop. Mount Faber Leisure notes that the show has been running since 2014 and that the current upgraded version features even longer fireworks. The performance itself is around 20 minutes, but the whole experience around it felt much bigger than that for us.

We enjoyed it so much. Then we stayed around the Siloso area, had our dinner, explored the place a little more, and kept walking through those beautiful streets. The lighting everywhere made the area feel magical. Even the street lights and nearby public spaces felt thoughtfully designed, with animated effects, fountains, soft illumination, and little visual details that made us want to stay longer.

We Ended the Night Exactly Where We Wanted To

Eventually, we had to walk back to the bus stop, take the bus to the hotel, return to the room, change outfits, and then do one last thing before sleeping: walk back to our favourite fish pedicure pond.

That late-night pond time had become our little ritual by then. We sat there, had a good relaxing time, called our families, let the day settle inside us properly, and just enjoyed being still for a while after such a full day. It was a very soft, grounding end to a day that had been bright, noisy, sugary, scenic, glamorous, and completely unforgettable.

Then we finally went back to sleep, tired in body but very happy in heart, which by this point was becoming the defining theme of our Singapore trip.
