Having seen the boat shaped structure in our sights every which way we turned, I felt elated to finally stand atop the engineering marvel and look out as far as my eyes could see 180 degrees and truly appreciate Singapore's skyline. Not an experience to rush, I took time to sip on a refreshing beverage from the cafe and read the interpretive signage on the history, cultural heritage and iconic landmarks whilst drinking in the amazing views. Gardens by the Bay being a favourite of ours, the Super Trees known for their stature in size, blended in with the sheer vastness of lush scenery. Something most worthy of travelling up 56 floors to observe and appreciate from the deck.

Only part of sky deck open. Regards to the renovation work ,not expected.And I thought we would be able to go all the way around the deck,and had planned to have a meal at the top and enjoy yhe views. Might be a good idea to display the mumber of the floors as the lift goes up and down.

The customer experience was great. Quick response to queries. Although they delayed my refund process, they quickly took action once was asked about the update.

Both the Art Science Museum and Skypark Observation Deck provided great experiences. The museum had an very interesting exhibit and enjoyed the building very much. The Skypark was easy to access and efficiently runned by the staff. I perfectly understand not having access to the other side, but would have liked to have some pictures of the other part of the deck, ie. the infinity pool and other side just to know what it looked like.

Quick, uncomplicated booking and access to the attractions. Marina Bay Sands was a highlight, although unfortunately most of the rooftop area is not usable, only the overhanging platform. Gardens by the Bay was also great, especially the Cloud Forest and the Supertrees.

Great view, unfortunately it was quite cloudy and rainy. Early booking is important. Don't forget to book the time slot. We had overlooked this and were initially sent away again and got a new appointment two days later

View over the illuminated city. I was on the Oberservation Deck in the dark and the view of the illuminated skyscrapers and Gardens by the Bay was great. You also have a great view of the water show.

Getting the tickets ahead of time really helped cut the waiting time which is great especially when you're on vacation. Although the boat ride was short, it was a great way to see the high end stores along the gondola. The water was super clean and you can make a wish right under the oculus so bring coins!!!
If you want to be at the oculus when they release the water, you need to reserve your tickets way in advance. I ordered mine the day of visit so I wasn't able to be on the boat when the waterfall came - 1pm; 3pm; 5pm. But I was able to view it from the balcony of the mall so we didn't miss much except the splashing of the water.
We waited to night time before heading up to the observation deck because of the beautiful lights the city had to offer with panoramic views. Although the line seemed long, it moved very quickly. I'd say about a 20 minute wait from way back in the line to the observation deck. We got on line about 2015 and managed to get a lot of decent photos before the ushered us out at 2100. If you want to stay past 2100, you may opt to dine at the rooftop bar.
Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend!!! ~Amy - NYC

Good price tickets. The gardens by the bay and observation desk were really nice places to see. This website doesn't give much information about how to redeem your tickets. Make sure to book a time slot for the observation desk. Other than that, really fun experiences.

The tickets were easy to acquire fast and no fuss. It was convenient to use upon arrival on the 2 domes. I could also say I think they were cheaper online than to buy them on the spot.
