I was there at day light and evening.
Big mall and many food options, nice walk options at day time. At the evening the light show on/at the 3 linked towers should be spectacular +/- 20h00 and +/- 21h30. sadly none of them ran

The Marina Bay's only purpose to make small town boy like me to feel even smaller. Describing it as breath taking, jaw dropping or simply amazing is still an understatement. This is the place for glitzy high fliers to burn their easy earned cash and show off their jet set lifestyle but there's also plenty for us commoners to admire it from ground level promenade too.
The whole area has been built on reclaimed land but the most important part is the aesthetics that blows our tiny average minds. From planning to design, layout, facilities, maintenance and amount of attractions provided here feels like a overkill sometimes.
The laser lightshow alone is enough to keep me occupied for hours but then there's boat ride, giant ferris wheel, science museum, Gardens by the Bay, Merlion Park, sculptures, cafés, restaurants, five star hotels, shopping malls and of course in the centre of it all the iconic Sands.
I've never had so many wow moments in one day.

As you approach the waterfront you get glimpses of the Marina Bay Sands through the gaps in the buildings, it's a like the eventual vista teases you. Once you get to the waterfront the majesty of the Sands lies in front of you. to the right is the Fullerton Hotel, take a walk up the river bank and see the various bronze statues on the way up to Clarke Quay

The Waterfront Promenade is a really nice place to go for a walk in Singapore, especially at night time. The Merlion statue with Marina Bay Sands just across the water makes for some great photos. Plus, there are plenty of bar and dining options in the area.

The best time to walk here is late afternoon into early evening. You'd be able to see the lights at night and if you're lucky, you can also see the laser display from MBS. Sit by the river, relax and just enjoy the moment with your loved one or family.

‘‘Twas a little crowded but lots of fun and lots to see. The Merlion was spectacular, get too close tho and you get wet. You get a great view of the Marina Bay Sands. If you’re creative you can take a photo of someone holding up the ship.
All in all a great view making the walk worth it. Consider getting there by walking along the River. We started at the Clark Quay and took our time.

In the evenings there is a light show, 8 and 9pm. Laser lights and projections to music.
Best place to set is between Apple store and Louis V store. Be warned that there is water spray and you get wet if you are on the lower promenade.
It is very busy at the weekends with locals. We watched on a Saturday and it was packed. So we came back and watched on the Monday and it was a lots less crowded - mainly tourists.
There are some good bars along here as well.
Lit up so easy to walk around and feel safe late at night.

As Singaporeans, we watched our National Day Parade on TV or be physically present at the Padang site to feel the atmosphere of the national day celebration and enjoy being proud as one united people.
However, I was surprised by the enormous crowd turn-out at the Waterfront Promenade to witness the pyrotechnic firework display and enjoy the calm and peaceful ambience at this glamourous, neon lit and colourful waterfront bay. When night sets in, the bay surrounded by the many spectacular and enormous skyscrapers is so colourful, wonderful and beautiful.
I walked my way from the Fullerton Hotel to NTUC building and then to Marina Bay Sands. Every inch of the promenade was occupied and the passage way was narrow and congested. I was sandwiched by the throngs of crowd and from their demeanour and language spoken, I was certain they are foreign tourists coming here to have a glimpse of our national day celebrations and appreciate the beautiful skyline of this magnificent promenade.
This is truly my home, the place where I belong. I feel proud to be part of this nation where so many envied and hope to see. I found meaning in my work and the role I play to make this nation safe and secure for the world to see, a nation strong and free.

Entire promenade lined with greenery , manicured lawns or green patch , close attention has been paid for beauty, cleanliness and aesthetics. Nice place for morning walk or evening stroll ( day time can get quite hot). Its a must do to experience the part of singapore which will give you feeling of space and expanse.

The waterfront promenade is a great place to spend as much time as you want it can get busy at times but is open days and night, the shopping centre has high end shops but a nice stroll around to get reprieve from the heat and sometime to eat at the food court. Easy to access by the MTR.
Views from Marina Sands were amazing if you have the right weather which we did.

Is the light show at Marina Bay at 8pm visible from the Skypark Observation Deck? Thank you.
Written 30 December 2018
Yes and you should be able to see the 'super trees' from there too. We did get charged 20 dollars each to go on the observation deck, but you can put that towards the cost of a drink. We watched from the ground floor outside at the back. it was spectaular - although we did get slight wet, it was amazing.
Written 31 December 2018
Hi, is it better to watch the light show from outside the casino back towards the Fullerton Hotel or from the Fullerton hotel looking out towards the casino side?
Written 11 February 2018
You want to be watching the show from the back of the mall and casino and looking toward the Fullerton Hotel. The show literally takes place right there. To be honest there are no bad seats to view the show.
Written 12 February 2018
What time is the light and sound show? When is the best time to visit this place?
Written 23 December 2017
Light show is at eight and nine - but be sure to visit during the day. The shock of seeing a suspended ship atop three futuristic towers with the blue sky atop it is worth seeing.

Is clarke quay and waterfront at marina bay in the same area. Is this walkable. Where do i alight if i reach there by cab to catch the light show clarke quay or marinariverfront ??
Written 17 August 2017
just back from Singapore 3day break and Clarke Quay and the marina bay (hotel) aren't actually in the same area so not sure why people have said they are. Clark Quay is more in land and is a little cheesy selection of bars and restaurants. The waterfront promenade is about 20mins walk from Clarke Quay and then to walk to marina bay (hotel/shops etc) this is another good 20/25 min walk from the promenade (where the theatre is).. if you have a few hours you can walk and see everything but they aren't that near and it it a good 45 min walk from the Quay to MBS

alloggerò al marina bay sand come faccio a raggiungere il lungomare?
Written 28 January 2016
Il Marina Bay Sands si affaccia da un lato su un grande parco pubblico (Gardens By The Bay) che giunge al mare (ma non un lungomare). Dall'altro lato l'hotel ha l'estensione su un enorme e splendido centro commerciale di lusso con annesso teatro, pista di pattinaggio, museo. Usciti dal centro commerciale c'è una bella passeggiata pedonale sulla baia. Sembra un lungo mare. Di fatto non lo è perché la baia è artificiale e si immette nel Singapore River che poi va al mare.
Bellissima zona. Quella più moderna e di lusso della città. Lungo quel "lungomare" ogni sera ci sono giochi di luci e la possibilità di fare anche jogging.
Ciao,
Alessandra

Hallo zusammen,
wir werden im August erstmals in Singapur sein. Wir begeisterte Hobbyfotografen und mich würde interessieren, von welchem Standort aus man die beste Aussicht auf die nächtliche Skyline von Singapur hat. Also mit Marina Sands Hotel, Merlion etc. und ob es gelegentlich Probleme gibt, wenn mit Stativ fotografiert wird. Ich habe gelesen, dass man oben auf dem Marina Sands Hotel das nicht so gerne sieht...
Schöne Grüße
Written 30 July 2015
Hallo, wir waren jetzt zum ersten Mal in Singapore für 8 Nächte und ich habe 680 Foto geschossen, alle ohne Stativ. Tag und Nacht - es ist einmalig das zu erleben. Ich wünsche euch viiiiel Spaß in Singapore.

How far is this attraction from where the cruise ship docks
Written 3 January 2015
I'm not sure of the exact distance but it's not far. There are many buses, the metro and cars that can take you. I would say it would take less than half hour by metro.
Written 4 January 2015
Not exactly sure how far. Probably best to take a taxi as they are reliable and not too expensive particulalry in the intense tropical heat.
