Calling all Potterheads and fans of all things Harry Potter! Here are all the fun themed events, theatre shows, costumes, toys and even a Harry Potter cafe in Singapore!
Harry Potter fans, we have questions for you. Are you a muggle, a witch or a wizard? Which House do you think the Sorting Hat would have chosen for you? If you know the answers to these questions, then you’ve come to the right place. Potter-mania has swept through Singapore, with the arrival of the Harry Potter: The Forbidden Forest Experience in 2023 and the upcoming Harry Potter: Visions of Magic debuting late-2024 on our shores! From new attractions to orchestral performances, here are all the fun Potter-themed places and events to explore with the kiddos. Wingardium Leviosa!
1. COMING SOON! Harry Potter: Visions of Magic at Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore
We’ve been hoping this amazing experience would make its way to Singapore, and we are so excited to share that the waitlist is now open! While we don’t have an exact opening date, we know it will be happening in the fourth quarter of 2024 – so anytime from October, hopefully in time for Halloween! What we do know, is this will be an ‘interactive art experience’, bringing to life corners of the mysterious wizarding world that we’ve never before explored. Look forward to a 40,000sqft venue with the chance to immerse yourself in the Room of Requirement, Newt’s Menagerie, the Ministry of Magic, and more with responsive video content, bold architecture, and breathtaking multi-sensory installations and interactive tech. Sounds exciting!
When: Fourth quarter of 2024
Where: Resorts World Sentosa, join the waitlist
2. Harry Potter musical magic at the Candlelight Concerts
We love a Candlelight concert, and there’s a film scores performance set to take place at S.E.A Aquarium that will feature the theme tune of Harry Potter! What better way to immerse yourself in the magical wizarding world than by being surrounded by hundreds of candles with the sounds of ethereal classical music. Best for kids aged 8 and up, or for a pretty magical date night!
When: Various showtimes. Next Harry Potter inclusion on Friday, 27 September 2024
Where: Candlelight Concert: Film Scores at S.E.A. Aquarium, 7:30pm or 9:30pm
3. A Harry Potter cafe! Bring your little wizards and witches to Platform 1094
Looking for some magic eats? Head over to Platform 1094! This Harry Potter-themed cafe is just the thing for your little Potterhead. Kiddos don’t just get to indulge in their wizard-themed menu but also enjoy lapping up the Hogwarts experience. For example, kiddos can cast spells with the props and take photos with Insta-worthy backgrounds. It makes for a magical time with the familiar Butterbeer (non-alcoholic!). The restaurant also puts out festive menus and high tea sets and amps the fun around Children’s Day or school holidays. Be sure to follow them to stay in the know! The fun isn’t just for kids. Adults can sample some of the wizardry in their cocktails, too!
