The Marina Bay Barrage, for walks, for fountains, picnics on grass, and views of Marina Bay Towers, the Singapore Flyer big wheel, the Singapore skyline

Free to enter, the Marina Bay Barrage.

Distant view of on the left Marina Bay Sands, the triple towers with the hotel at the top and the infinity swimming pool. On the right illuminated at night, the Singapore Flyer.

The fountains change colours. Red, green, purple.

I went there with a Toastmasters International group. Our event organizer, Peter, had booked an indoor room in the complex, on the second floor, with stairs or lift access. 

Afterwards we had a picnic on the grass and took photos at sunset. 

Most of the year you can walk across the barrage. (Check because it is due to be temporarily closed for upgrading.)

At the moment (September 2022) you need to catch the 400 bus, which runs half hourly from above the Bayfront MRT underground railway station, about four stops. Or take a walk or cycle. By the end of the year the new Marina Bay station's east coast line  will be open!
