Everyone dreams of a White Christmas with Santa Claus skiing through the sky and surprising you with a fancifully wrapped present at your doorstep (If you have been obedient all year). That was what we all imagined it to be when we were young. However, Christmas has turned out to be a festive season where gatherings with our loved ones are what really matters. Besides house parties, why not head outdoors for a fun-filled celebration?
A Magical Christmas at the Gardens
With its second return at Gardens By The Bay, the fairgrounds are where the Christmas fantasy of all come true. This year, visitors are bound to squeal in happiness as they zip down the tallest slide in Singapore standing at 14 metres, or go for a spin on Swinging Chairs that gives a breath-taking 360-degree view of the Gardens. The carousel, Ice Palace and skating rink are also not to be missed. Catch the debut of the Christmas Toyland Floral Display at the Flower Dome that will be displayed till early January next year. Though entry to the fairgrounds at Gardens By The Bay is free, normal charges to the Flower Dome still apply.
