Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay 2015

Singapore’s biggest Yuletide fair, Christmas Wonderland, returns to Gardens by the Bay. Look out for an enchanting Christmas Toyland Floral Display, a European-style Festive Market and dazzling Luminarie lights sculptures. At the same time, be sure to check out the The Future of Us, an exhibition showcasing Singapore’s future to come. Visitors with “The Future of Us” tickets are entitled to 40% off Gardens by the Bay Conservatory tickets.

Toys reign supreme in the brand-new “Christmas Toyland” floral display (21 November to 5 January 2016). Venture into the North Pole and explore a magical wonderland where toy soldiers march alongside roaming reindeers, and teddy bears man a sleigh station – all amidst yuletide floral favourites like the poinsettia, Christmas rose, winter heather and holly! Towering over the enchanting floral display is the centerpiece of Christmas Toyland – an 11-metre-tall Christmas Pyramid decked with toys. This multi-tiered traditional German wooden carousel will transform into a ‘live’ stage, hosting a series of festive performances for the very first time in the Flower Field.

The picturesque Luminarie Light Sculptures (28 November to 3 January 2016), handmade using white-wood from the south of Italy, will nestle amidst the greenery within the Golden Garden, Supertree Grove, Dragonfly Bridge and Flower Dome. Highlights include the majestic 24-metre-wide Spalliera and the Cassa Armonica gazebo, which will provide an enchanting backdrop.

Finally, shop for one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts and enjoy a wide range of international cuisine at the charming European-style Festive Market (28 November to 27 December 2015). Don’t miss the ornate Spiegeltent, a century-old travelling ‘mirror tent’ from the Netherlands, which will be a visual treat for visitors.

Christmas Wonderland will run daily from 21 November 2015 till 5 January 2016 at Gardens by the Bay from 9am to 9pm. Admission is free, but entry charges into the Flower Domes still apply. For the full event line-up please visit here.
