Gardens by the Bay is lighting up this festive season

Say hello to the festive season as Gardens by the Bay takes you to the Netherlands with their Flower Dome display, and back in time with their Orient Express exhibit.

Here are some of the highlights this November and December:

Featuring a mix of online and on-site events, Christmas Wonderland 2020 will have games, performances, and most importantly, festive shopping which can even be done from the comfort of your own home.

The on-site event will be from Dec 4 to Dec 27 and will boast stunning light installations in the Walk of Lights, while the online segment will take place from Nov 19 to Dec 31.

More details about Christmas Wonderland 2020 can be found here starting Nov 19.

Transport yourself to the Netherlands with the return of the Flower Dome’s signature floral displays. A replica of Gouda City Hall, one of the oldest Gothic town halls in the Netherlands and a famous tourist attraction, will be featured.

Poinsettias and pansies, which are plants widely used during the festive season, will be out on display along with real Christmas trees to top it off.

A traditional Swedish Lucia Procession and Santa meet-and-greet sessions with the public will complement the popular floral display.

Poinsettia Wishes will take place from Nov 27 to Jan 3 2021 from 9am to 9pm. Admission charges to the Flower Dome apply. Click here for more details.

The Orient Express was a long-distance passenger train service created in 1883, becoming known for providing luxury travel. Relive that experience as a pop-up attraction of the Orient Express comes your way next to the Bayfront Plaza.

Featuring two original train carriages gazetted as national treasures of France and an engine that is 158 years old, you can really take a step back in time with this attraction. There are also 300 heritage items including a Louis Vuitton original luggage, priceless porcelain and more.

An Orient Express shop, cafe, restaurant and lounge, and even an escape room complete the whole experience.

The Orient Express attraction will run from Dec 12 to Jun 13, 2021. More details available here.

Floral artistry created with preserved, dried and fresh flowers such as orchids, fuchsias and begonias await at Floral Fantasy.

Reopening Nov 21, it is the final ticketed attraction to welcome visitors once again, having been shut for a few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To sweeten the reopening, a complimentary ice-cream cone from Café Aster can be redeemed with tickets bought for Floral Fantasy.
