If you’re on a Christmas deco hunt around Singapore, checking all the various tree and light installations off your list, you can’t miss Christmas Wonderland at Gardens By The Bay.
Back for the 4th time with bigger, more breath-taking Luminarie light sculptures and a whole new line-up of festive activities from a massive outdoor skating rink to an epicurean food fare featuring Michelin-starred restaurant offerings from as low as $6, here’s what you can expect:
P.S. Read on to find out you can win a trip for 2 to Finland!
1. Ice skate under the stars at their first-ever outdoor rink

There’s no reason to head all the way down to the westside to skate comfortably when you can experience a whole new world on ice under a canopy of stars and Christmas lights at Christmas Wonderland’s first-ever outdoor rink.
30-minute sessions go at $10 for adults and $8 for children. And even if you can’t skate to save your life, you’ll be glad to know that complimentary skating aids are available on a first come first serve basis! Just remember to bring your own socks, or purchase them for an extra $2!
Check the different skating time slots here.
Note: Tickets are only available at the Skating ticketing booths onsite at the event.
2. Experience “snow” amidst towering light sculptures
As long as you’re in Singapore, there’s no way you’ll get to experience a white Christmas… not unless you’re headed to the tallest light sculpture in Christmas Wonderland, The Spalliera – sans the cold temperature, of course.
Standing at 22.5 metres tall and 20 metres wide, the beautifully illuminated structures will transport you to a winter wonderland with its “Blizzard Time” which happens 5 times a day at the following time slots – 6.50PM, 7:55PM, 8:55PM, 10PM, 10:30PM.
Just some of the 80 dazzling Italian white wood light installations found within the grounds of Gardens By The Bay.
3. Enjoy a 45-minute circus show by Circus Abyssinia
Hailing all the way from Africa, prepare to be wowed by Circus Abyssinia’s showcase of gravity-defying stunts and contortion acts as they make their first Asia debut here at Christmas Wonderland. You can catch their jaw-dropping performance at The Meadow on Tuesday to Sundays, and on Christmas day!
Price: $12/session for adults, $8/session for children below the age of 12 years old
Tickets are available for sale here.
4. Fuel up on Michelin starred-restaurant nosh at SAVOUR

Expect to find a wide arrange of dishes from modern Australian to French-Mediterranean cuisine between the prices of $6 and $12.
There’s even an al-fresco dining area and an air-conditioned larger-than-life snowglobe for dedicated feasting. Image credit: Christmas Wonderland
