Christmas Wonderland - Gardens By The Bay

The Spalliera & Supertrees

So what is the most in thing/popular place to visit this December in Singapore? That would be a trip to Christmas Wonderland at the famed Gardens by the Bay. Decorations specially set up to bring the Christmas festive spirit to our garden city, Christmas Wonderland did a decent job to bring some excitement to both locals and tourists. It was pretty packed and crowded when I went but hey that was to be expected since its Christmas Eve after all!!!

Interior of the Spalliera with the Cassa Armonica in the middle

At the center piece of all the decorations is the Spalliera. The majestic 20.5m high and 24m wide Luminarie structure is fitted with thousands of LEDs and is easily the prettiest structure in the whole garden. Housed within the Spalliera is the Cassa Armonica, a beautiful white pavilion where the choir stands and sing Christmas carols. Surrounded by the towering Supertrees, this site allows for some brilliant photographs!

At certain specific scheduled timings, there will be lightshow performances where the landscape changes in colour and pulse to the musical pieces being played. Indeed a quite a sight to behold!

Kinda looks like a scene out of the movie: Avatar!

Christmas Wonderland has plenty of others attractions including the Ice Palace where you can go ice skating or have some fun at the Carnival being held but I felt a little disappointed with what was on display. I expected more from the lights and decorations amid all the hype online regarding this attraction. Thankfully the awesome company I was with made up for what was lacking and I dearly enjoyed myself! ^.^ Even with all of that said, Christmas Wonderland which opens till 3rd Jan 2016, may still be worth a visit for Singaporeans seeking for something new to do and explore.

Hohoho Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May you readers have a blessed festive season!!!
