At Theatre of Generations, we witness how Singapore had transform from 1965 to 2015, and onwards to 2030. The projections are beamed on to the Roof for an immersive experience.

It feels like an Omni-theatre experience, broadcasted in English with 4 languages subtitles.

Symphony of the City, we saw the city of the future transformed from vision into reality. I thought I saw a blueprint of a high-speed train at Coney Island !

Innovations from sectors Defence, education, or perhaps vertical farming and sustainable communities. All these concepts are no longer dreams.

The skies will not always be gloomy. Venture out, reach out for the next Rainbow!
Take home message for my kids are “Dare to dream, the future is not set”.

If I can see the future, I would like to know whether my hawker centers would still be around in 2030 πŸ™‚
More details about The Future of US exhibition can be found on their Website and Fanpage.

– Nearest carpark is SG50 carpark, we had to walk 10 minutes from Meadow carpark
– Bayfront MRT would be even nearer
– The crowd was manageable on a Saturday, you can try walk-in too (we booked our tickets and choiced time-slots early in December).
– This exhibition will end on 08 Mar 2016
– Opening hours 9am to 9pm daily
– Entrance is free
– Duration – If you just breeze through, 30 minutes will do. But I will recommend 1 to 2 hours stay to appreciate how new technologies will enhance our lives

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

A lot of opportunities for lover birds to selfie, but too much photobombs!
Lovers Gardens by the Bay

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

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

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.
