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.
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.
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.
