Business trips can still be fun
#BestPlacesToGoInFebruary2025
To start from the end,
Make sure to arrive early at Changi Airport before your departure. There are so many facilities, and the free ones alone will keep you entertained endlessly. The waterfall is truly spectacular, and walking all around it for an on-site experience is very beautiful. Some facilities require a fee, which is subjective—I didn’t go in, so no comment, but it seems like it would be even more beautiful inside.
Here’s a guide to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. Outside the casino, the inner sea has a water dance show every hour at night, but it’s too crowded and close to see clearly. We watched it on-site and didn’t think it was great, so we wanted to check out the SkyPark, but there were no tickets available at all ><
Luckily, a colleague who knows some English found a bar next door, CE LA VI SkyBar & Club Lounge, where you can enter for just 38 SGD and get a credit toward your consumption. The key point is that it actually has two areas. We stayed a long time in the first area, which was super crowded and hard to find a spot, but there were lots of beautiful people. Before leaving, we discovered another area next door with music—it’s part of the same space but fewer people come here. It’s connected to the Marina Bay Sands hotel pool, the view is amazing, and you can also see the water dance show.
So the best choice is to come to the bar to drink, watch the sunset, the night view, and the water dance show. The cost-performance ratio is super, super high, but be sure not to drink too much because it’s super expensive! Haha
