Sunset and early evening offer the best views as the skyline lights up and the Spectra light show begins. Arrive 30 minutes early to find a good viewing position on the SkyPark.
Budget tips
SkyPark observation deck tickets are typically around S$20 to S$26 for adults, and the infinity pool is reserved for hotel guests only; buy timed SkyPark tickets online or look for combo passes to save a few dollars.

About
Quick facts: Elevating urban luxury to new heights, the complex offers a rooftop infinity pool that seemingly merges with the sky, giving swimmers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city's skyline. Nightfall transforms the area into a vibrant spectacle of lights and water shows that captivate visitors with choreographed performances synced to music and laser displays.
Highlights: Imagine lounging on a 150-meter infinity pool atop three 55-story hotel towers, where the water seems to merge with the city skyline and the stars above. The SkyPark also hosts mesmerizing light and water shows that dance on a 120-meter canal right below the iconic lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum, creating a surreal urban oasis at night.
Insider tips
- Buy SkyPark observation deck tickets online with a timed slot to skip the queue and secure sunset access.
- Hotel-only infinity pool access is restricted to guests, so capture pool-style shots from the public SkyPark or the Bayfront promenade instead.
- Head to the rooftop 30 to 45 minutes before sunset for golden light and clearer photo angles.
- Wear lightweight clothing and comfortable shoes, and carry a small umbrella during monsoon months as weather changes quickly.
