For families looking for the best spot to catch the light show, try the deck right outside the Marina Bay Sands shopping mall. It’s a great view! Or, for a fun twist, take a river or laser show cruise to see the lights from a different angle. We suggest getting there by 7:30 pm to snag the best spots before the show starts.

Family Fun at the Marina Bay Sands Light Show: What to Do Before, During, and After

Visiting the Marina Bay Sands for the light show is an exciting experience for families. Here’s a quick guide to make the most of your outing:

Before the Show:

  1. Grab a Bite: Fuel up with some dinner at one of the many family-friendly restaurants around Marina Bay. There’s something for everyone, from fast food to more relaxed dining options.
  2. Scout Your Spot: Head to the decking outside the Marina Bay Sands shopping mall early to claim a good viewing spot. It fills up fast!
  3. Explore the Area: Take a short walk around the Gardens by the Bay or visit the ArtScience Museum. Both are right nearby and offer fun, family-friendly activities.

During the Show:

  1. Keep Snacks Handy: Have some snacks and water for the kids to munch on during the show—this will keep them happy and occupied.
  2. Talk About the Lights: Engage your kids by quietly discussing the colors and patterns of the lights. Ask them what the lights remind them of to make it interactive.
  3. Stay Safe: Keep an eye on your belongings and your little ones. It can get crowded, and kids can wander off in the excitement.

After the Show:

  1. Take a Leisurely Walk: After the show, take a stroll along the Singapore River for some beautiful nighttime views of the city.
  2. Enjoy a Dessert: Treat the family to some ice cream or another sweet treat. There are plenty of dessert spots within the area.
