Night view is amazing. Just little bit upset because I need 30 minutes to get official ticket through this platform. If you want to use this platform, just order the day before you depart. It will be more convenient.
Very good experience Singapore at night is amazing
Stunning view! Highlights of our Singapore trip. The 40 mins cruise that able to see around marina bay sands including Merlin was the best part of our itinerary.
Booked tickets last Sunday for a trip to Singapore in OCTOBER. You have now asked me three times in the last week to tell you how my river cruise went, how about we wait until I have actual been ?....... And no, strangely enough I'm not going to be uploading a picture of it
Easy to book and access tickets. Had an awesome time!
A great way to catch a quick and casual glimpse of the more touristic part of Singapore!
This experience is perfect for

The water tour was really good as I got to see all of the main attractions but from a different perspective. Some of the history relating to the buildings and areas was also very good. In all it was a nice and relaxing way to see Singapore
Would have preferred personal guide not an Audio Visual. No opportunity to ask questions.
Awesome loved every bit of it
The floral fantasy! I wish we had more time to spend there. It was really nice. There's a lot of people in the cloud forest so we did not enjoy it much. The flower dome as well felt underwhelming.
The place was so beautiful and awesome, my family really enjoyed a lot.
Such magical places to visit. Wouldnt hesitate to go again if ever in Singapore.
Awesome and great place to visit
The app was very easy to use and finding the tickets was also easy!
The Forest was incredibile and fine me the opportunity to come back child another time. Also the flower dome with it's color make inspire me and mine imagination.
It will indeed be an unforgettable visit given that we were asked to leave after 5 minutes. We were informed that there was a storm coming ( there was going to be lightning )and therefore had to leave however we noted that residents of the hotel who also occupied the same deck but not asked to leave. Apparently they were immune from the lightning storm. We were then informed that we could come back in one and a half hours time. so we were expected to hang around and come back but they were not sure when that was going to be. I'm afraid the way they treated us - non-resident was just awful.
Perfect timing, and perfect weather. We were able to witness "the golden hour" in a magical way, and also were able to see the show from Gardens by the Bay (we can barely hear the music but still watching is fantastic). Prices of snacks and drinks were lower than I expected, but for restaurant you need reservation. Plan ahead!
After reading earlier rewievs, I thought the flower dome would be better with more colorful flowers. It was ok, but crowded!
Future World: Where Art Meets Science is something I never thought I would be able to experience but I finally did. This interactive digital art exhibition was amazing because it was able to blend art, science, and technology in a way that was vibrant. I was easily able to interact with exhibits like drawing sea creatures that come to life, walking through LED light tunnels, and exploring themed digital landscapes. I found that the most exciting exhibition was the hands-on activities and bright visuals that kept everyone engaged. I think that most people find it worth visiting for the unique, playful experience. Overall, it’s a fun and creative outing that brings art and science together in a way that’s both educational and entertaining.
It was a great experience with a wonderful view. Especially seeing the sunset and all the city lights slowly glowing as it's getting darker. I definitely recommend this experience.
Dazzling singapore from the 56th floor , the well maintained skyscrapers, the synchronized fountains with the water and light show, the lite garden at the bay all made me fall again in love with Singapore.
The booking process was very easy, I liked that the time slot allowed for flexible entry, as well as the views were stunning!
Great experience to go up the Observation Deck. Very beautiful view especially at night. You can see the entire city and the ocean.
The temperature was ideal for visiting, and the atmosphere created in the greenhouses is simply magical. However, in terms of noise, for sensitive people, it could be bothersome, because there is a lot of sound stimulation.
We were allowed to enter even though we were late for our allocated time. We were lucky enough to see the fireworks. The food served was good and very friendly service. There were a few too many people but there were no queues. A memorable experience.
I would have rated the experience a '5', but I had expected to be on the very top level, able to wander around the pool. When I arrived I discovered that my ticket was 'only' for floor 56, and that there was an upper floor 57. A minor dissapointment to be sure - the views were spectacular :-)
We had to wait for a lightning caution to end, but it was worth it. The rain stopped, the skies cleared. The views were stunning and the feeling of being up that high outdoors is something I'll never experience again. We even got to see all the light shows. There was plenty of time available up there. It is a must for anyone visiting.
Merlion Park was amazing but just everything all round was spectacular especially being at night with all the lights highlighting the city.
The process was easy , the experience just awesome . The whole Gardens by the Bay adventure is a credit to the Singaporean govt and its people for creating a truly unique destination
We did three gardens of Monday had a fantastic time out. Probably the best of the three was the lily display. We got there by public transport. It was really easy so we appreciate the fantastic interface between the gardens and the trains.
I was told I would hear back from customer service within 48 hours for a refund. No one has reached back out. Terrible. Should not buy here ever.
The Cloud Forest was a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. The multistorey waterfall as you enter was spellbinding. The whole experience was wonderful.
Easy ticket purchase, no need to queue and easy to use.
Great experience wonderful views
The drive into the water and the trivia. Seeing the Merlion and learning the history of Singapore.
It was our first time to experience riding duck tours. It was great. My son did enjoy and was quite a amze since this ride can do both land and water combine. I was hoping the tour to be longer since we also want to explore abit of the city. But i guess this is possible we also did the hop on hop off. Btw, thanks to our commentor/guide. She dia a great job!
The application was simple and easy to use even for a computer illiterate like me. The response was almost instantenous. There were also very good follow-up with updates about headout.com I now know that there are more activities I can look forward to for me and my family.
Love the overall experience- About ticketing I feel it was unnecessary to get the ticket printed and can be done just by scanning a QR code or something which happens usually around the world
super experience, grande esperienza. top!!!
Tickets was abit expensive but tour seems faster than the stipulated timing
The crews at front desk are very helpful.
