One of the top things to do in Singapore is experiencing breathtaking views at the SkyPark Observation Deck located at Marina Bay Sands. Situated in the heart of Singapore’s Marina Bay Area, this stunning vantage point offers a panoramic view of the city from 56 stories high.
From the SkyPark, you can see Singapore’s iconic landmarks, such as the Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer, and the towering skyscrapers that dot the cityscape. It’s extremely popular with photographers and photo enthusiasts as it gives you that higher perspective and the best view of Singapore.
The Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck is open daily from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, with the last entry at 8:30 pm.
The entrance ticket to the SkyPark Observation Deck at Marina Bay Sands costs S$32 for adults, S$98 for families (2 adults and 2 children) for general admission, and S$88 per adult for the elevated experience.
