Christmas is here again, and Gardens by the Bay is decked up to welcome families and the festive mood.

Enchanting Luminarie in the evening, you will not see the pretty lights in the day.

Spalliera looks splendid from all angles. From the top of Ocbc Skywalk, look at the crowds and snow!

Expect Snow to fall around these timings :
– Mon to Thu, Sun 8, 9, 10pm. Fri and Sat 8, 9 and 9.45pm

View from the top is spectacular, away from the crowd, windy.

Festive atmosphere around the SuperTrees, ringed by European Market stalls selling souvenirs, food and beers. Love the beautifully decorated huts!

Really feels like Christmas even though Singapore is in the tropics :p

Loved the special Christmas lightings around Gardens by the Bay.

We pop into Flower Dome for some aircon and admired Christmas Toyland.
We have been to GBTB countless times, but every trip brings a new experience for us 🙂

Christmas Toyland, expect Toys all around 🙂

A lot of opportunities for lover birds to selfie, but too much photobombs!

Pretty flowers for the season, but I must admit our family were kept busy with the Christmas decorations rather than the flowers 🙂

With the cute decorations, we are half expecting Santa to pop out at every corner 🙂

Christmas Toyland must be equipped with Toys right 🙂

Video : Do catch the Garden Rhapsody Christmas Edition 🙂

During weekends, all carparks 2 to 5 will be full! If the jam starts at junction 1, queuing time will be easily 60 minutes and longer. Cars will sometime park illegally along the road next to GBTB, and so far no summons issued. We would recommend you to drop family near GBTB entrance (No3, do not drive in) and u-turn to park at red box “Marina Mall”, you will not find a carpark lot, but follow the other cars’ example. If really desperate, take MRT to Bayfront (no6) and slow walk 15min to reach the Flower Dome.

Remember to grab your tickets online 24 hours before, to avoid queuing for tickets.

Force is strong at Changi Airport, queues are longer!
Not piloting today, but standing so close to our dream X-Wing fighter is already epic.

Those in the queues can actually cosplay in Starwars costume and take a cockpit photo too, how cool!
(You can dress as a Chewbacca or Imperial Stormtroopers or rebel and pose in the cockpit.)

Never mind if this war did not happen in a galaxy far far away, the Starwars exhibition is happening in the East, at Changi Airport. Starwars Fans are turning up to get up close with X-Wing or TIE fighters.

A life size X-Wing! Look at the fans surrounding the fighter, second floor is packed too.

Pretty cool premiere before Starwars 7 is released. If only the fighter can open its X 🙂

Similar to previous traditions, a bouncing castle has appeared at T3 row 11. This lighthouse is super easy to surmount, just hit the button and see the lights . Did you noticed the Northern Lights (Aurora) backdrop?

Kids can try navigating their BB-8 through obstacles too. First come first serve, and slots fill up pretty fast!

Norway is not only about Vikings and Salmons, there are pretty awesome landscapes and alps.

Whenever Starwars characters appear, you can bet fans will swarm around.

Long queue just to pose with Stormtrooper! Can you spot his white helmet under the pillar?

Every Sat 4pm, from now till 02Jan, Stormtroopers will battle Imperial guards around X-wing fighter. This is the most crowded period! Other than 4pm, you should have a lot of opportunities to selfie with X-Wing or TIE.

TIE fighter at T2 (next to BK), protected by stormtroopers. Where is Darth?

Whichever angle you look at the TIE, it sill looks menacing and impressive. Perhaps I am a fan of the Dark Side 🙂

Starwars plush toys will be released over the coming weeks. For hardcore collectors, I might recommend using “Changi Rewards”. Just consolidate $1500 worth of receipts to get all 8 cute Plush toys.

Master Yoda will be the first plush toy from 17th Nov onwards. Collect all eight toys, you must!

Starwars exhibit runs from now till 05 Jan 2016, catch inter-galactic battle between Stormtroopers and Rebels every Saturday at 4pm. More details on Changi Airport Website and Fanpage.

Tips to enjoy Starwars at Changi Airport :
– There are more interactions behind the X-Wing wall at T3, perhaps we can find “Harison Ford and Princess Leia” (We had to skip due to the crowds)
– Starwars exhibition ends 05 Jan 2016
– Every Sat 4pm, Stormtroopers will battle rebels (you need to squeeze to the front, easier for kids than adults)
– Avoid peak hours to get decent selfies with X-Wing or TIE fighters
– All Starwars fans must make one journey to Changi Airport

More photos have been uploaded on our Fanpage album.
