If it's your inaugural visit to Singapore's Christmas Wonderland, brace yourself for an enchanting experience. This annual event, a Christmas night market imported from Europe, promises joy, festive food, and even artificial snow.
How to Get There:
By Train: Alight at Bayfront MRT, head to exit B, and follow the underground linkway. Cross the Dragonfly Bridge into Gardens by the Bay (5 minutes walk).
By Car: Park at the meadow open-air carpark.
Food:
Indulge in delectable fare from popular establishments like Brewerkz, Churros Republic, Sofnade, and more. With over 15 food stalls, including Halal options, the choices are diverse. Try the refreshing bucket of lemonade for $6, a perfect thirst-quencher lasting the entire 3 hours.
Activities:
Put your skills to the test at carnival games scattered around. Live festive performances at The Meadow and Supertree Grove add to the joyful atmosphere.
Capture Memories:
Explore six photo-worthy areas, including the Spalliera, Walk of Lights, Merry Lane, Frosty’s Fairground, Gingerbread Grove, and the Holly Roger ship. Staff at each photobooth make capturing memories hassle-free.
In addition, a 65-meter stretch lit by 75,000 bulbs offers mesmerizing colors for perfect photos. Visit during the Garden Rhapsody light show to avoid the crowd.
Main Areas:
Two main areas, Supertree Grove and The Meadow, are about a 10-minute walk apart. Pass through Mistletoe Alley, explore gift shops, and enjoy festive lights and decorations. Alternativetly, you can opt for a ride between Supertree Grove and The Meadow. Rides start from S$6.
Supertree Grove Highlights:
1. Spalliera Extravaganza: Marvel at the 20-meter-tall Spalliera, lit by 103,000 bulbs, inspired by Italy’s Mesola Castle.
2. Meet Santa: Kids can meet Santa for a memorable photo session.
3. Garden Rhapsody and 'Snow': Enjoy the light and sound show at the Supertrees, followed by 'snow.' Show timing: 7:45pm, 8:45pm and 9:45pm
I recommend grabbing a drink, snacks or dessert from the nearby food stands, and find a spot on the ground to watch it. They will announce the end of the performanc before it starts to 'snow', so you'll have plenty of time to snap your picture or film a video.
The Meadow Highlights:
Enjoy amusement rides, carnival games, and festive dining. LumiLand, an illuminated playground for kids, offers fun at S$6 per 10-minute session.
Final thoughts:
Whether you're a local or a traveler, Christmas Wonderland in Singapore is a must-visit during the festive season. With its expansive layout, plan for at least 3-4 hours to immerse yourself fully in the joy and magic of this seasonal extravaganza.
