THE SHORTLIST

A few places worth your time.

01Culture · DAY 1 IDEA

11 Marina Boulevard, #01-01

Red Dot Design Museum

In October 2017, the Red Dot Design Museum moved to the present location along the Marina Bay. The museum presents the world’s largest exhibition of contemporary design. Every one of these exhibits is a winner of the international Red Dot Design Award, one of the world’s leading and largest design competitions. It features a design shop and a design cafe bar. Here, you can buy carefully curated design objects from around the world and also the best designs produced by Singapore designers.

Marina Bay Sands

Sands SkyPark

Singapore's single most dramatic landmark, the SkyPark defies gravity, perched 55 stories above the ground like a surfboard on top of the three hotel towers. Views aside, for time being there's not much bang for your buck though: the pool is open to hotel guests only. The SkyPark consists of one very long infinity pool, 3 heated Jacuzzis, a mini chocolate bar and of course the two high-end restaurants.

18 Marina Gardens Dr

Gardens by the Bay

The free outdoor gardens are themed around plants important to Singapore history and culture. Super trees tower over the rest of the gardens, built to mimic real-life trees using technology such as solar cells. The gardens also have a few event venues like the Meadow. Come for the surprisingly charming light show at the super trees, daily 7:45PM and 8:45PM.

Marina Bay

Conservatory domes

The gardens house two cooled conservatories housed in giant glass domes, the Flower Dome simulating a dry-climate area and the Cloud Forest for more tropical highlands plants. Both are a nice air-conditioned escape from the sweltering tropics outside, but if you have to pick one, the Cloud Forest with its winding multi-story walkway, waterfalls and displays of carnivorous plants is the wackier of two and sure to be a hit with kids. The Flower Dome also has a nice if pricy cafe tucked away in the back.

A note before you go. Start with Red Dot Design Museum, then decide whether ArtScience Museum deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Conservatory domes before setting off.

Reference material retrieved 2026-10-19. Suggested days and time allowances are editorial starting points. Check the linked visitor information for opening hours, access, and reservations.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

A more practical kind of plan.

Getting your bearings

Suntec City, Marina Square, Millenia Walk and the Esplanade in the north are all conveniently linked, either by underground malls or covered walkways. If you don't mind a bit of a walk, the Marina Bay Sands can be reached from the northern half by walking south for 20 mins on the Helix Bridge, which has several viewing platforms overlooking the bay.

Build a route that makes sense

Red Dot Design Museum and ArtScience Museum are about 0.7 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
