Best Locations and Spots in Detail

Marina Boulevard Open Field

A fireworks photographer’s favourite. You get sweeping views across the water towards the Marina Bay hotels
Possible for a family picnic if you arrive early enough. I saw families with mats and portable chairs during the NDP Preview

The Merlion Park

Go to the Merlion Park if you want to hear the loud booms and to feel the fireworks ‘falling on you’
Suitable to take children to, but crowded. You’ll need to get there early and occupy the kids meaningfully

The Esplanade Bridge

A good place if you want the Merlion included in your fireworks photos
This spot is incredibly crowded during the New Year’s Eve Countdown fireworks

The Esplanade Theatre Waterfront Promenade

As described above. A very convenient spot overall

Marina East

(water’s edge, next to Gardens by the Bay construction site) – Access is by Tanjong Rhu Road
I don’t recommend this spot for a family day out because the walk there involves skipping over a big drain, walking close to the water’s edge, etc. You might want to wait for Gardens @ Marina East to open before coming here
