Tips for Visiting
From our visit on 22 Sep, here are some tips to take note before visiting!
- While the lanterns light up from 6 pm, we suggest going down when it's darker (from 7 pm) to enjoy the lights better.
- You can expect a fair amount of outdoor walking, so do dress comfortably
- We recommend families to bring their water bottles, insect repellent and portable fans.
- Open flames are not allowed at Gardens by the Bay, so do not bring candle lanterns. Electric ones are fine.
- Gardens by the Bay is stroller-friendly, but scooters, bicycles, etc are not allowed.
