If you can’t afford to escape Singapore’s heat for a winter vacation and the yearly Orchard Road Christmas Light-Up is a little too dull for your liking…
Why not pop by the Christmas Wonderland 2021 at Gardens by the Bay instead for your annual dose of Christmas cheer?
Pretty AND safe too, with all the safe distancing measures in place…
There’ll be light displays, carnival games, and you can even get a photo with Santa Claus.
All the usual “Christmas-y” stuff that you and your friend(s) or partner or loved one or kids can enjoy.
But as with anything that’s worth going to in Singapore, you’ll need to pay in order to enjoy the festivities at this yuletide fair.
So how much will you end up spending and how much will everything cost?
Let’s find out!
TL;DR: Christmas Wonderland 2021 Gardens By The Bay Price Guide
Planning to head down to the ever-popular Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay?
Here’s how much the admission tickets will cost:
| Christmas Wonderland 2021 Ticket Prices | Date | Adult | Child (3 to 12 years old) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Event (Purchase online by 11:59pm on the day before the visit) | 2 Dec 2022 to 15 Dec 2022 | $8 | $6 |
| 16 Dec 2022 to 1 Jan 2023 | $10 | $6 | |
| Same Day Purchase (Subject to availability) | 2 Dec 2022 to 1 Jan 2023 | $12 | $6 |
Tickets must be purchased online prior to arrival as there are no ticketing booths on-site.
You’ll also need to pick from 4 daily timings, with sessions between 6:30pm to 11pm (FYI: the last entry is at 10pm):
- 6:30pm
- 7:30pm
- 8:30pm
- 9:30pm
This is due to the safe management measures that the organisers have to put in place, which also means that the number of visitors per session is strictly controlled.
So make sure that you’re punctual for your allocated timeslot!
For optional attractions like the double-storey Venetian horse carousel, carnival games, as well as food and drinks from the Christmas Market, those are charged separately.
Is Christmas Wonderland 2021 Free?
That’s the most important question, isn’t it?
It is…
if you’re a child who is under 3 years old.
For parents bringing their toddler to Christmas Wonderland, you’ll need to pre-register your child at least 5 working days prior to your visit.
Each toddler ticket issued per child must be accompanied by a vaccinated adult (read: 1 paying adult = 1 free toddler ticket).
For the rest of us, Christmas Wonderland 2021 admission tickets start at $5… and get more expensive ($7) if you decide to visit closer to Christmas.
You’ll also want to plan ahead because same-day admission tickets will cost more at $10 per pop.
| Christmas Wonderland 2021 Ticket Prices | Date | Adult | Child (3 to 12 years old) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Event (Purchase online by 11:59pm on the day before the visit) | 2 Dec 2022 to 15 Dec 2022 | $8 | $6 |

How Much Time Do I Have At Christmas Wonderland 2021?
Considering that there’re allocated timeslots, a lot of you are probably wondering how much time you actually have in Christmas Wonderland.
Based on their FAQ, visitors are allowed to stay within the Christmas Wonderland event ground for 90 minutes from the start of their session.
Don’t ask me how they’re gonna keep track of who’s supposed to be there or not.
I’m guessing they have different coloured wristbands or something so they’ll know if you’re part of the 6:30pm session and have obviously overstayed your welcome.
Long story short, be punctual for your allocated timeslot and be nice.
Give others a chance to experience some yuletide joy lah…
By the way, the last entry into the event ground is at 10pm.
Optional Christmas Wonderland 2021 Attractions & Highlights
Besides paying for the Christmas Wonderland admission, there are a couple of optional attractions which are charged separately.
These include the souvenir and F&B you can buy at the Mistletoe Alley Market and El Fresco dining area
and of course, the Venetian Double-Story Carousel.
Tickets to ride the carousel are $10 per person and $5 for each adult accompanying a child (12 years and below).
There are limited ride slots available daily so make sure you pre-book your tickets online to avoid disappointment.
Christmas Wonderland 2021 Christmas Carnival Prices
What’s a visit to Christmas Wonderland if you don’t play a couple of carnival games at the Christmas Carnival right?
This year you can try your hand at Fishy Fishy, Darts, Blockbuster, and Bowling…
TBH, I’ve no idea what kind of games these are but you’ll probably have fun trying to win a prize.
From what I understand, you’ll need to purchase tokens in order to play the carnival games and rides.
