Things to Do at ION Orchard (2026): ION Sky, ION Art and More

ION Sky on Levels 55 and 56

ION Art Gallery (Level 4)

ION Art runs a programme of modern and contemporary art and design, including multimedia and digital work, with a focus on Asian artists. The gallery is on Level 4 and open 10am to 10pm daily. Shows change through the year, so check ION's What's On page for the current one; we could not confirm the late-October 2026 programme.

Who it suits: anyone with 20 minutes between shops. Our take: usually calmer than the shop floors around it.

Art around the mall

ION also places permanent sculptures and media installations around the building, so you will walk past art without trying.

Our take: look up in the atriums, not just at the shop windows.

The Orchard MRT link

ION sits right next to Orchard MRT, which serves the North-South Line (NS22) and the Thomson-East Coast Line (TE14). On a wet day that makes ION the dry start or end point for an Orchard Road walk. Drop-off by car or taxi is at Orchard Boulevard, Level 2.

For food along this stretch, read our best food around Orchard MRT guide, which goes beyond the food courts.

Lockers on Level 6: shop hands-free

Lockers on L6 cost $5 for 3 hours, $8 for 6 hours and $10 for 12 hours, with a $2 per hour fee if you overstay. Digital payment is accepted by approved merchants only, by ION.

Who it suits: tourists with day bags, anyone doing a long Orchard Road shopping run. Our take: $5 to walk Orchard Road without a bag is money well spent.

Singapore Visitor Centre and concierge

ION runs concierge counters on B1 and Level 4, open 10am to 10pm daily. The B1 counter doubles as a Singapore Visitor Centre in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board, and ION+ Rewards members can borrow wheelchairs and strollers there, subject to availability.

Our take: useful for first-time visitors who want a map, a tip or directions in one stop.

Where to eat at ION Orchard

ION publishes its own guide to eating there by budget, from under $20 up. For a wider net around the station, our Orchard MRT food guide covers what we actually rate nearby.
