Moshe Safdie's Marina Bay Sands changed Singapore's skyline in one move when it opened in 2010: three 55-storey hotel towers carrying a 340-meter steel deck across their tops, cantilevered 66 meters beyond the north tower like the prow of a ship. The SkyPark Observation Deck on the cantilever is the part open to non-guests, roughly 200 meters above the bay, with sightlines over Gardens by the Bay's Supertrees on one side and the financial district towers on the other.
Tickets run about S$32 for adults, cheaper online than at the door, with entry by timed slot from the Tower 3 basement. Sunset slots (around 6:30–7:30pm) are the first to sell out, since they cover daylight, dusk and the city lighting up in a single visit — and from the deck the 8pm Spectra fountain show plays out directly below. The famous 150-meter infinity pool one level up is reserved for hotel guests; no observation ticket includes it, whatever resellers imply.
Two alternatives are worth knowing. CÉ LA VI, the rooftop bar on Tower 3, applies a cover charge redeemable against drinks, effectively swapping the observation ticket for a cocktail at the same altitude. And the view of the building — arguably the better photograph — belongs to the opposite shore: Merlion Park and the Jubilee Bridge frame the three towers across the water for free.
