Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay

I didn't know that there will be a Christmas Wonderland at the Gardens by the Bay. My wife happened to have the Fun Attractions Card worth $10 each. You still need to exchange the card with tokens. Each token is $2 and you will get 5 tokens with the $10 card.

The fun attractions card entitles you with $10 worth of tokens to be used for the attractions at the event and a 15% discount at the cooled conservatories where there is an exclusive Christmas Toyland exhibition in the Flower Dome. The card is valid till 27th Dec 2015.

For more information, you can refer to the Christmas Wonderland website.

The rides and games can be quite expensive. Luckily the cards are free if you happened to have some. One ride is about 4 tokens (which is $10). The games are typically 2 tokens per game (depending on the game, you get 2 or 3 tries). I think the rewards (soft toys) are a bit small. Not sure how the people get the big ones. I'm assuming that you can exchange two small soft toys with a bigger one. Anyone can correct me? Thanks.

Some of the rides for children. Not much crowd in the late afternoon. The rides are quite space out and not much queue.

When the night falls, you can enjoy the great lightings and atmosphere. It seems liked you are in a Christmas Wonderland minus the snow. Yes, you get occasional rain instead.

We waited till 8pm on a Saturday but didn't see any blizzards. Not sure whether it was because of raining that there was no blizzard.

The Blizzard Time @ the Saplliera schedule is:
  • Mon - Thur, Sun: 8pm, 9pm and 10pm
  • Fri & Sat: 8pm, 9pm and 9.45pm
If you are driving, please come early to avoid the long queue to enter the carpark. You can take risk by parking some places nearby but watch out for the traffic police. You might end up with a summon ticket. Try to go early or take public transportation. The crowd can be quite big and you need to take care of your personal belongings and children.
