Can you go up Marina Bay Sands for free
The iconic Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore is famed for its unique SkyPark spanning the three hotel towers.
Jutting out 215 meters above the city, the elevated park offers jaw-dropping views.
Visitors are drawn to the infinity pool overlooking the skyline along with restaurants, bars, gardens, and an observation deck up top.
But can you visit the amazing SkyPark without paying? Options exist for free entry, though with some limitations.
SkyPark Observation Deck
The open-air SkyPark Observation Deck atop Marina Bay Sands is a premier vantage point to photograph panoramas of Singapore. Spanning the width of the SkyPark, it provides unobstructed 360 degree sights.
However, direct access to the deck itself normally requires an admission fee. Tickets cost S$23 for adults and S$17 for children, which can add up for groups.
But the deck can actually be viewed free from other vantage points around the SkyPark. The public can get free glimpses through the perimeter fencing.
You can also take great selfies with the deck and Singapore cityscape in the background without paying admissions. This lets you experience views up top without tickets.
Infinity Pool
Another Instagram-worthy spot is the world famous infinity pool at the SkyPark. The cantilevered platform appears to spill 150 meters above the city. But access is restricted only to hotel guests, who must pay premium room rates. Without a room booking, the pool is off limits.
The good news is the pool area can also be seen from other free viewing spots. Although you cannot access the water, unique selfie opportunities exist alongside the pool deck.
You can capture that iconic overhang view through the perimeter barriers on the public walkways.
Rooftop Bars
Paying customers at the SkyPark’s rooftop restaurants and bars can also enjoy panoramic views for free. CÉ LA VI and Spago restaurants offer window seating with sweeping city vistas.
Similarly, the stylish rooftop Lantern cocktail lounge and Smoke & Mirrors bar have great outlooks.
Simply having drinks or dining at these venues allows you to experience the scenery at no added cost. Since visiting the bars does not need advance booking, it is an easy way to guarantee entry compared to the observation deck. You only pay for food and beverages while soaking in those sky high views.
Public SkyPark Areas
Marina Bay Sands gives everyone free access to portions of the SkyPark, without needing to pay observation deck admission or dine at any venue. These public areas connect the towers and offer great spots to admire the cityscape.
Near the north tower lies the SkyPark Garden Rhapsody light show. The whimsical display projected onto the Supertrees delights nightly. Watching the show against the Singapore skyline is completely free. There are also patches of greenery perfect for sitting and people watching.
The south tower has a public walkway overlooking the perpendicular Edge theater and atrium below. Standing at the railing presents sweeping sights of downtown and Gardens by the Bay. Security occasionally patrols, but anyone can casually enjoy views here.
Shopping Mall & Atrium
The shopping mall at Marina Bay Sands provides more free alternatives for looking out across Singapore. Full glass facades in the SkyPark-spanning atrium offer panoramas from different levels. Spots like the North Promenade on B2 overlook downtown.
Various restaurants in the mall also have window seating with views not blocked by other buildings. Simply having a bite lets you take in the scenery. Bonus – the Cloud Forest conservatory at Gardens by the Bay next door is visible for free.
Hotel Lobby & Bars
Another option is the lobby lounge of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The public can freely enter and enjoy the interior’s modern Asian architecture. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide beautiful outlooks across the city for all to experience. Next door, the lively Long Bar offers more stunning views while sipping famous Singapore Slings.
Outdoor Promenades
Finally, Marina Bay Sands’ street-level waterfront promenades are free to stroll. The waterfront walkway stretches from the Shoppes mall to the casino.
Gazing across Marina Bay towards the Fullerton Hotel and historic skyline is breezy and relaxing. Benches line the promenade for sitting and admiring the views. No admission is needed.
Conclusion
With strategic viewing spots available, visiting the iconic Marina Bay Sands does not require paid tickets. Public walkways, lobby lounges, shopping mall atriums, and street promenades offer plenty of panoramas for free.
You can even glimpse world-famous sites like the pool and observation deck. Just scout out the best insights and photo ops. With cleverness, you can experience its soaring views and architecture without spending a cent.
