Get ready for a thrilling adventure as Singapore unveils its first-ever sports and lifestyle facility, Trifecta. Located in Somerset, this new attraction is set to officially open on October 28th. It promises to deliver an exhilarating experience for snow, surf, and skate enthusiasts.
Trifecta is not just another sports arena; it’s a unique blend of a snow arena, surf pool, and skate bowl, making it a one-of-a-kind attraction in Asia. And we’ve got an exclusive preview of what’s in store at Trifecta.
Trifecta: The Brainchild of Orchard Road Revitalization
Trifecta was first announced in April last year as part of a grand plan to rejuvenate the vibrant Orchard Road. The vision was to create a space where the thrill of snow, the rush of surfing, and the cool vibes of skateboarding converge. This vision is now becoming a reality.
Co-founder Daphne Goh explains that Trifecta is not only about sports but also about “action-entertainment.” It’s a place where spectators can enjoy watching the action, with colourful steps that double up as seats and large windows in the snow arena for excellent viewing.

Trifecta’s snow arena isn’t your typical winter wonderland. Instead of natural snow, skiers and snowboarders will ride on a “ski carpet,” designed to simulate the feel of snow.
The carpet is dampened with water to reduce friction, allowing riders to reach speeds of up to 35kmh. Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, there’s something for everyone, with adjustments to cater to varying skill levels.
The snow arena also features dry slopes for practising tricks, providing an authentic skiing and snowboarding experience.
Surf Arena: An Endless Wave Adventure

Who would have thought you could surf in Orchard Road? Trifecta’s surf pool, designed by German company Citywave, creates waves that will make you feel like you’re in the ocean. The waves are 60cm deep and up to 1.5m high, perfect for both beginners and seasoned surfers.

The skate bowl at Trifecta is designed to accommodate skaters of all skill levels. Entry points without the metal pipe allow beginners to roll in gently, while the more experienced can enjoy the traditional “drop in.”
The Trifecta Experience: Action-Entertainment
Trifecta isn’t just for sports enthusiasts; it’s an “action-entertainment” space for everyone. The facility’s open and inviting design encourages spectators to join in the fun. With large windows overlooking the snow arena, you can enjoy the excitement from the comfort of indoor seating. While the sports may have a “barrier to entry,” Trifecta has lowered that barrier, allowing spectators to enter for free. For those eager to try the simulators, affordable fees apply.
Food and Entertainment: Beyond the Action
After all the fun and excitement, you can refuel at Butter, a cafe created in collaboration with Two Men Bagel House. They serve a delightful menu of bagels, pancakes, grain bowls, and more. Plus, during the first four weekends, Trifecta will host film screenings, a community art market, and a music festival to keep the entertainment going.
