Fun at Fountain of Wealth and Marina Bay Sands Skypark

Though I'm based in the Lion City, I must admit that I am astonished by the landmarks and infrastructures in Singapore. One of the most famous landmarks in the city is the Marina Bay Sands. Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay, Singapore.

For our visit in MBS, we first went to the Fountain of Wealth located at Suntec City.

Tip1:  During certain periods of the day, the fountain is turned on and off and visitors are invited to walk around the mini fountain at the center and make a wish. At night, the fountain is the setting for laser performances and laser message dedications between 8pm to 9pm daily. 


From Suntec City we chose to take taxi to go to Marina Bay Sands. MBS is a one stop tourist spot having a casino, a hotel and a shopping mall.

Tip2: For more information about MBS, click on the link. http://www.marinabaysands.com/  .
Tip3: Marina Bay Sands Skypark entrance fee is 20SGD. 



Tip4: The skypark's elevator access is at 56th floor.


Tip5: Enjoy the city's skyline at the skypark, most of the city's famous landmarks are visible at the park.




Tip6: It is always a relaxing view at the top, the park has audio stations for learning. The viewing deck is also spacious to accomodate tourists.


Tip7:  Enjoy the cafe at the skypark to enjoy a couple of drinks and bonding moments.
Tip8:  The view of the famous infinity pool of MBS is also visible at the viewing deck. Only hotel residents are allowed to use the hotel's facilities.
Tip9: Don't forget to get your souvenier photo and enjoy the lounging chairs at the elevator area while waiting.

Tip10: Try conquering your fear of heights by trying a simple jumpshot.
Tip11: Enjoy shopping and dining at the mall. There is a skating rink for kids and adults to enjoy. 






Tip12: Try and take home some Royce chocolates!

Tip13:  Also, the river boat in the mall is a fun experience. Try dining by the "river" and enjoy the sumptous and high caliber dishes served by famous chefs.


Marina Bay Sands is also surrounded by palm trees for a tropical touch.
For a whole day fun, MBS is worth the time.
