Light and sound shows at night. The supertrees get illuminated.
The free outdoor gardens are themed around plants important to Singapore history and culture. Super trees tower over the rest of the gardens, built to mimic real-life trees using technology such as solar cells. The gardens also have a few event venues like the Meadow. Come for the surprisingly charming light show at the super trees, daily 7:45PM and 8:45PM.
The gardens house two cooled conservatories housed in giant glass domes, the Flower Dome simulating a dry-climate area and the Cloud Forest for more tropical highlands plants. Both are a nice air-conditioned escape from the sweltering tropics outside, but if you have to pick one, the Cloud Forest with its winding multi-story walkway, waterfalls and displays of carnivorous plants is the wackier of two and sure to be a hit with kids. The Flower Dome also has a nice if pricy cafe tucked away in the back.
Singapore's single most dramatic landmark, the SkyPark defies gravity, perched 55 stories above the ground like a surfboard on top of the three hotel towers. Views aside, for time being there's not much bang for your buck though: the pool is open to hotel guests only. The alternative to paying the entry fee is to visit the restaurants (see Eat) for lunch, which will set you back around $50, but you can freely explore the SkyPark afterwards (excluding the pool area). The SkyPark consists of one very long infinity pool, 3 heated Jacuzzis, a mini chocolate bar and of course the two high-end restaurants.
Singapore's second casino, larger and glitzier than its family-oriented competitor on Sentosa, with 600 gaming tables and 1,500 slot machines. Visitors can enter for free, but locals and residents have to pay $150 just to get in. An age limit of 21 applies, and you'll need to bring ID.
Spectra
A light and water show lasting for 15 minutes every night at designated times. May be dazzling or cheesy depending on your perspective. Can also be seen from across the bay, which holds different vantage views.
