The official event page says an admission charge to the Flower Dome applies but does not list prices. Little Big Red Dot reports S$12 for adults and S$8 for children aged 3 to 12 or seniors aged 60 and above, for Singapore residents, and says entry requires a Flower Dome ticket. Prices for non-residents are not listed in the sources we checked, so confirm on the Gardens by the Bay site before you go.
What is new in the third edition?
Gardens by the Bay says model trains pass through miniature landscapes inspired by three places. In the United States zone, botanical models of railway stations represent the West Coast, East Coast and heartlands. The Singapore section has been expanded to celebrate local rail heritage, with two SMRT trains running alongside reimagined MRT stations designed by National University of Singapore architecture students. The final stop is snowy Rovaniemi in Finland, Santa Claus's hometown on the Arctic Circle, where visitors see his toy factory, post office, reindeer sleigh and a sauna break. Santa welcomes guests every day. Sparkling Christmas trees, conifers and poinsettias are displayed throughout the Flower Dome.
