The Ultimate Guide to Marina Bay Sands Singapore
(This article has affiliate links to products which we may make commission from at no extra cost to you.)
Singapore is undoubtedly the finest and cleanest city I have ever been to. It combines art and nature in the form of beautiful skyscrapers, parks, and gardens. People of different ethnicities also reside here, making it a diverse international city.
Singapore is also easily accessible through the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) train system, which covers all the tourist attractions within walking distance of the stations. You can also buy an EZ-Link Card at any MRT station, which you can refill with money to make your transportation easier.
When to visit Marina Bay Sands
It’s summer all year round in Singapore, still, I recommend you to visit during the year-end between October and December, it might rain in these months but it’s also comparatively cooler than the other months.
Major Attractions to Visit In Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands Skypark
Marina Bay Sands is the most amazing hotel in Singapore having spectacular overlooking panoramic views of the city. It has a huge boat-shaped structure floating at the top, not floating.
I recommended visiting during sunset time so you can see the transition of the city which lights up in the night. It is truly the prettiest view when the buildings are all lit up. It would be extremely worthwhile staying at this luxurious hotel surrounded by exceptionally spectacular views.
The infinity pool at the top of this hotel is accessible to hotel guests only, giving us another reason to splurge at this hotel.
Opening Hours:
9:30 AM to 10 PM
Entrance Fees:
Ticket prices: $23 SGD for adults. $17 SGD for children (aged between 2 – 12 years*) $20 SGD for senior citizens (aged 65 years and above)
Your ticket provides entry for an unlimited time so make the very most out of this memorable visit.
Also, you can buy food/drinks from the observation desk, but they are available at higher prices. If you don’t want to spend a few extra dollars just fill yourself up before you reach there.
If you plan to stay at Marina Bay Sands Hotel, get your bookings done online here.

Merlion Park
Merlion Park is a prominent landmark of Singapore. It’s free to visit and is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. The Merlion statue has a fountain of water falling from its mouth.
Unfortunately, when we visited this place, there was no fountain of water coming out at that time and some maintenance work was going on. Nevertheless, we managed to get a few good clicks from this iconic place of Singapore cause capturing memories makes a place more memorable.
Gardens By the Bay
Gardens By the Bay is a beautifully designed park having 25 towering man-made Supertrees and two cooled conservatories called the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest.
The flower dome has flowers and plants from all over the world while the Cloud Forest is like a mini rainforest having a stunning waterfall and beautifully displayed plants.
It’s amazing to see these man-made conservatories preserving nature under well-maintained and organized architecture. It’s pretty cold inside these conservatories so make sure you carry something to keep you warm inside.
You can walk through the gardens that have lots of plant sculptures and trees. It’s an absolute bliss for all nature lovers. You can also ride a cart to go around if you want to avoid the heat during the daytime.
Opening Hours:
It opens from 5 AM to 2 AM daily. The two conservatories are open from 9 AM to 9 PM.
Entrance Fees:
| Rates | Non-residents (Two conservatories) | Residents (One conservatory) |
|---|---|---|
| Adult | $28 | $12 |
| Senior citizen(over 60) | $28 | $8 |
| Child(3-12) | $15 | $8 |
For me, it was a pleasurable experience visiting these iconic places in Singapore. One can just never get enough of the beauty of this city.

It is good that they offer discount for senior citizens. I was actually planning to go on a travel with my mo and she just turned 60. So, I guess this place will be on our itinerary.
I studied architecture, so I absolutely would love to go and see the beautiful park, buildings, and the garden. Singapore is def on my bucket list!

Singapore has always been on my bucket list. My Dad visited there when in the service. I have to go!
Glad you had a fantastic vacation in Singapore, but you haven’t explore it well (I guess). There are many interesting attractions aside from the known Marina Bay. The Changi Airport per se is like a different country, 🙂
Gorgeous photos! This is reminding me of my trip to Singapore a few years ago. You’ve really captured the beauty of the city 🙂
