Free Fireworks Viewing Spots at Marina Bay

1. The Helix: Free fireworks viewing spot

A popular pedestrian bridge that connects Marina Centre to Marina South, the Helix (a.k.a the Helix Bridge or Double Helix) is one of the best vantage spots to watch the Marina Bay fireworks in Singapore for free! This Insta-worthy bridge is beautifully lit up in the evenings, too, so it’s always worth a trip just for the ‘gram.

Where: Marina Bay, bridge linking Marina Bay and Marina Centre, Singapore 038981 Access via: Bayfront or Promenade MRT stations

2. Marina Reservoir: Marina Bay fireworks

This reservoir is one of the most popular locations for brilliant views of fireworks display across the Bay. We highly suggest coming early to snag a good spot in advance. There’ll be plenty to do while you wait; pack snacks and kites and you’ll have a ball with the kids on the lovely windy green. Then, settle down to watch the fireworks light up the sky over the Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands.

Where: 8 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018951 Access via: Marina Bay MRT station, then SBS bus number 400 from Marina Bay Financial Centre. Car Parking at Gardens By the Bay.

3. Gardens by the Bay: Fireworks with Supertrees

Head to the waterfront promenade at Bay East Garden – it connects to East Coast Park via the Barrage and there are loads of great spots for stunning views of fireworks in Singapore along its 2km stretch. Best of all, the garden is open 24 hours and admission is free, so you can sit back and watch the fireworks spectacle with the fam.

Where: 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953 Access via: Bayfront MRT Station and follow the underground linkway. Expect crowds in the MRT (grab a rentable cycle to avoid the masses). Car Parking at Gardens By the Bay.

4. Marina Bay Sands Promontory, Merlion Park: CBD fireworks

Accessed by a short walk across the Jubilee Bridge, Merlion Park is where you’ll find all the best fireworks action. The crowds flock here each year, so come early to get a prime spot to watch the Marina Bay fireworks in Singapore.

Where: One Fullerton, near the Central Business District Access via: MRT from Raffles Place Park at One Fullerton

5. Waterfront Promenade, Esplanade: View of Marina Bay fireworks

A free view of the Marina Bay fireworks in Singapore and must-see views of Singapore’s skyline? This breezy spot is where it’s all at. There are restaurants all around the area, so come early for a bite with the kiddies before parking yourself on the steps for prime views of the fireworks display.

Where: 1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore 038981 Access via: City Hall or Esplanade MRT stations

6. The Lawn @ Marina Bay: Watch fireworks in Singapore

If there’s a number one stop to watch fireworks in Singapore then this is it. The Lawn @ Marina Bay may just be a patch of grass in the heart of the CBD, but it’s laid-back and has good views of the fireworks.

Where: 11 Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018940 Access via: Downtown MRT Station

7. Victoria Theatre: Beautiful fireworks viewing spot in Singapore

Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall is a beautiful venue in itself. Although it offers a partially blocked view of the fireworks, this venue is bound to see large crowds gather every year. Be sure to get there early to secure a good spot!

Where: 11 Empress Pl, #01-02, Singapore 179558 Access via: 3-minute walk from City Hall MRT and Raffles Place MRT

8. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands rooftop: Hidden fireworks viewing spot

The Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade is undoubtedly a popular fireworks-viewing spot for fireworks. But not many might know that there’s a hidden spot within The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands that gives you a spectacular view of the fireworks display. Head up to the rooftop of the mall! Entry is free and it’s open to the public.

Where: The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands Access via: Bayfront MRT, then follow the directions to The Shoppes. Take the escalator to the rooftop from the Boucheron store.

9. The Singapore River: Fireworks away from main crowds

The Singapore River is a great spot to catch fireworks for free (as long as you can spot Marina Bay Sands)! We found a great viewing spot near Clarke Quay MRT station (exit E) where you can see the fireworks display from a distance. It’s a great fireworks viewing spot if you’re bringing the kids along, as you won’t have to battle the main crowds at the Marina Bay area.

Where: Singapore River, Clarke Quay Access via: Clarke Quay MRT exit E

10. High Street Centre Carpark: Less crowded fireworks spot

You might think it’s strange to head to a carpark for fireworks, but if you want to avoid the usually crowded places, then this is the place to go! The 5th floor of the carpark overlooks the Singapore River with a gorgeous view of the city skyline and the Marina Bay area, which is where you’ll see fireworks!

Where: 1 North Bridge Road, Singapore 179094 Access via: 6-minute walk from Clarke Quay and City Hall MRT stations

11. Mount Faber Peak: Fireworks from a distance

Home to the Singapore cable car attraction, Mount Faber Peak is popular with families looking for a gorgeous hike or walk among the greenery. The fireworks are quite a distance from Mount Faber, but you might just be able to catch a glimpse of them!

Where: 109 Mount Faber Road, Singapore 099203 Access via: Harbourfront MRT and then take a 12-15 minute walk up

12. Marina Barrage: Free fireworks viewing spot

You won’t get a full view of the fireworks here, but we love the green space on the rooftop of Marina Barrage that overlooks the city skyline. You can see the Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands, and a glimpse of the Esplanade, plus get a peek of the fireworks. Pack a picnic and get comfy under the starry night!

Where: 8 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018951 Access via: Gardens by the Bay MRT station, Exit 2

13. Marina South Pier: Quiet fireworks viewing spot

Located along Marina Coastal Drive, Marina South Pier is tucked further away from the prime location for the fireworks, but you’ll probably still be able to see the fireworks. If you have younger kids who might be afraid of very loud noises, then this might be a great place to catch the action without busting your eardrums!

Where: 31 Marina Coastal Drive, Singapore 018988 Access via: Marina South Pier MRT, Exit B

14. Marina Square Rooftop: View of Marina Bay fireworks

Okay, you might not get the best views from this spot. But since it overlooks part of the Singapore cityscape, including Marina Bay Sands, you should be able to catch a glimpse of fireworks. Since it’s located on the rooftop of a popular mall downtown, it might get crowded. So, be sure to get there early to save the best spot.

Where: Rooftop of Marina Square, 6 Raffles Blvd, Singapore 039594 Access via: top floor of the Marina Square Mall, 4-min walk from Esplanade MRT station via Exit C
