Walked across to the hotel after the first light show of the evening at the Gardens by the Bay. I wanted to see the show again from the viewing platform at the top of the hotel. Stunning views from the platform, but the lightshow looked too distant to really enjoy a second time round, and you couldn't hear the music from up there. Having said that, the remaining views out over Singapore were magnificent, and the elevated position really gave you a sense of tranquillity. You have no access to the guest swimming pool from here, but you can see it from the far end of the viewing platform. If you have a head for heights, it's a great photo stop. Walk back through the hotel afterwards too, it's quite stunning inside.
The marina bay sands is of course the place to see if you're around Singapore. The ride to the observation deck will cost you 23$ for an adult and will take you to a limited area. You will not be able to access the pool (reserved to the hotel guests) but can enjoy a lunch or dinner at the restaurant.
The view is simply breathtaking and will give you a good overview on some of the attractions Singapore offers.
You can stay as long as you want on the deck but 15-30m is probably enough.
It is an amazing and beautiful towers. It's not free they are gonna charge you about 23$. They will not allow you to take your tripod or stand.
Pretty neat place. My friends and I tried to get into Ku De Ta (the bar at the top) but we weren't dressed well enough, so we decided to go to the Sky Park instead. Admission is about $23 I believe, which isn't too bad compared to other similar to sky park places around the world (Eiffel Tower, Empire State, etc). The process going up is very much like the Empire State--they snap your photo with a green screen in the background, but here's the difference. By the time you've taken the elevator up, they actually have your photo printed for you to buy. I think it cost $50 though.. we thought we heard $15 but when we clarified they said $50 to us which is absolutely absurd.
Anyways, the view. We went a little before sunset and then just bummed around the top which was pretty typical. I've never seen so many people actually sitting at the top of one of these sky park things. The place is pretty spacious and the ground is wooden and it is pretty clean. You get a fantastic view of Singapore--from the Garden of the Bays and the Singapore Flyer on one side, and then the CBD on the other--it's stunning. It's great when you stay for sunset since you can watch the sun go down and the nightlife begin to wake up. There's a small concession stand that sells some food and drinks if you get hungry as well. I would highly recommend to anyone though--it's a great way to orient yourself to Singapore's layout and the view is quite stunning.
tldr; awesome views of Singapore at a decent price, worth the visit!
The inside is just as amazing as the outside. You must see this place at night & at day they are very difference experiences
