Hello , i'm back today to talk to you about 2 more attractions ! 
  1. Marina Bay Sands
  2. Arts Science Museum
It is without a doubt the Marina Bay Sands in one of the icons of Singapore . Its meant for people who like to live in luxury. When i was there, i was wow-ed by all the designer brands in the mall and also its known for Celebrity Chef Restaurants. Its a integrated resort that is notable for transforming Singapore skyline. It comprises of three 55 storeys tower with extravagant hotel rooms, luxury suites and top notch service. 
Lastly, the tower is complete with the Sands skypark which showscase 360 degrees view observation deck and infinity pool. 
The skypark is accessible when you purchase a ticket from the Marina Bay Sands box office 

  • ArtScience Museum Lobby
  • Concierge Desk, Hotel Lobby Tower 1
  • Retail Concierge, The Shoppes L1
  • SkyPark Ticketing Counter, Tower 3 B1
  • Theatres, The Shoppes B1
Prices of tickets for adults is $23, Children $17 for age 2-12 years old and lastly,$20 for senior citizen age 65 years old and older.
Its opening hour 9.30am - 7.30 am
Infinity Pool with View of Singapore City
Marina Bay Sand's Infinity pool is located 57 storey above ground opening from 6am-11.30pm.
The pool is designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie stretching across 150 metre.
However, it does not appeal to me to go up to skypark for $23 just to look at Singapore from Top view as there is no place to sit and rest and also restricted access to the infinity pool and the garden unless i accommodate there.

As for foodies, your culinary adventure can start at Marina Bay Sands as there are many Celebrity Chef Restaurants like Gordon Ramsay's Bread street Kitchen,Wolfgang puck's CUT, David Myer's Adrift and many more. It have 50 dining choices for you to choose ! Marina Bay Sands provide a dining guide so get your hands on one of those ! 

One thing to love is the nightlife at Marina Bay Sands, you can look at Avalon in crystal pavilion floating on the water of Marina Bay, it consist state of the art technology , art color lasers 3D mapping  and its high fashion interior. It is of 17,000 square feet and of 2 levels. Its clubbers paradise and also a concert venue.
Not just that, at night, you will be able to enjoy Southeast Asia's largest light and water show, " Wonder Full " . Its located at the Event Plaza at the promenade. It is a 13 minute show piece of visual effect by the waterfront with the use of lasers and electric lights.
The best part is ... ITS OPEN TO PUBLIC AND ITS FREE. 
Its showtime is  8pm, 9.30 pm on Sunday to Thursday, for Friday and Saturday there is a extra showtime 8pm, 9.30pm and 11pm. 
The other entertainment that is held at Mastercard theatres are ticketed events. 
The shows changes throughout the year. 
For now, they are showing The St.Petersberg Ballet Swanlake, The ultimate Tribute of Michael Jackson and many more. 

Marina Bay Sands is located at the Central District. Therefore, it is very convenient to go to alighting at Bayfront MRT or by River Taxi ride from any River Cruise from $3 to $4 or by car
Self park will be free when you spend $50 . One thing i realise was that there isn't many locals shopping at Marina Bay Sands as compared to locals shopping at Orchard even when the shops are diverse here.
The purpose of people coming around is largely due to its architecture as i see people coming to take photos or window shop.

Singapore Art Science Museum

Its my first time ever going to Singapore Arts Science Museum and i managed to catch a World class premier when i was there. I managed to catch Da Vinci for free ! 


So my initial plan was to catch the Prudential Eye Singapore $9 for Singapore citizen for adult. I went to purchase my ticket when i was there as i just wanted to take a view at their galleries. The lady at the counter asked if i went to see Da Vinci yet and gave me a complimentary ticket as it was the last day of showcase. I was dumbfounded like, its the first time such good thing ever happened to me. After that, i went to the washroom, i was taken aback again as the toilet rooms were very well furnished even little kids were saying, " mummy, the toilet like the one in hotel rooms, so nice." 


Not just that they have seats outside the toilets for people to sit while waiting for their love ones. There are facilities for people for disability as seen from the picture above .


I went on to see Da Vinci and was awed by how big Art Science Museum is even tho the exterior of it seems small and i still don' understand how it consist of 21 gallery spaces totalling of 50,000 square feet.





I went on a Sunday and it was the last day of exhibition so it was rather crowded. As you can see, the exhibition also allows kid to have hands on activity and stimulate late their critical skills. 
The trip was very educational as I saw many artworks and theories from Da Vinci and many of his inventions. It was interactive as well as they use technology like visuals, ipad and audio to alleviate learning experiences.








Furthermore, i managed to see exclusive paintings by him like The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. I did not but souvenirs from its gift shop but took many other hands-on activities meant for kids to play and keep as souvenir. 

If you are keen in getting a souvenir from ArtScience Museum i encourage you to get their tee shirts as its very cool. Its a reflective tee shirt and its recommended by the friendly staffs there! Beverages are $1 for a bottle during Friday to Sunday !

Art Science Museum is so iconic and also known for premier venue for international exhibitions since its opening during 2011. For example, " Harry Potter,the Exhibition", "Dali, Mind of a Genius", "Andy Warhol: 15 minutes Eternal" and "The Art of the Brick".
The lotus inspired ArtScience Museum is once again created by the renowned architecture that architect the skypark. 
ArtScience Museum is also known as the welcoming hands of Singapore by Mr Sheldon Adelson, the visionary chairman of Las Vegas Corporation.


The architect is so cool as it also serve to recycle rainwater. The Museum's roof channels rainwater through the central atrium of the building creating 35-metre water drop into a small reflecting pool. 
The museum is made out of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer is used in creation of high performance racing yacht which was never used in any projects in Singapore before. 
The ArtSience Museum have free weekend family workshops and tour for adults to learn more about Artscience museum's features and environmental friendly design.
