Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay Review

Great views, many rest zones, bicycle lanes, public lavatories. Everything you need to have a fascinating stroll. Worth visiting both during the day and nighttime

I was here for the Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire in concert. It was very convenient to enter now as QR codes can be easily scanned on our phones.

There s free wifi in the theatre but the connection is a little wonky, so sometimes I can t connect to it at all, depends on your luck I guess.

Beautiful place amazing staff, well equipped auditoriums, life time memories!!!

Very nice. All air-conditioned. Many activities to do.

Iconic singapore attraction. Looks like a durian from air. Walk along the river for a gorgeous night view of marina bay sands and skyscrappers

One of the most frequented areas. Singapore landmark.

Beautiful setting, great view, relaxing live music and it's free! All you need for a chill time!

To have a great scenic experience, head to the top floor or the roof of esplanade building. It is easily accessible via the escalators within the building near the back entrance.

We rested here for a long walk to Gardens by the Bay. I was able to took pictures on some of the exhibit on the 3rd floor and go window shopping on some stores.

Have a monthly theme, for different occations. E.g. festivals, public holidays...

Pretty decent & affordable meals except not sambal to compliment meals...

Esplanade theaters is a nice relaxing spot for people has Flair for art and culture. Nicely set open theater, with events round the year. The programs are conducted by various art and culture groups from across the Globe

Had some fun here with my wife during steps challenge awarding

Had the pleasure of seeing the Singapore Lyric Opera perform Puccini's Turandot and it was wonderful. A cozy experience and seamless theater outing.

A very good scenaric place and a playground for kids and a leisure place for adults by the river.

Its the best performing arts centre I've ever visited, one of iconic building of Singapore, the architectural is reminds me of Durians.

Muara 2019 showcase not only localise Malay dance but also from Malaysia & Indonesia

Beautiful area with lots of good food and activities.

Amazing place with beautiful view of MBS, Tasty restaurants and many attractions.

Do drop by for their free performances! Usually goes on every month depending on the theme! If I'm mistaken it's dance month!

At esplanade theatre, there are variety of events available throughout of the year. World class ballet company, chorus, orchestra and musical etc.
City view from outdoor stage is nice. You can also see little Marion from here.

Looks very impressive but there weren't any events on at the time of my visit

a lot of things to do around this area, Merlion, Marina bay and many more places.

Awesome place to hang around specially evening time

One of the nice spots to go to in the heart of the marina...

A place fill with arts. There are always performances here.

Splendid architecture that glitters at night! not sure if everyone will like the music performance played at the main gallery (it's free of cost if I'm not wrong). I liked one of the performance. Uploaded it here. Worth visiting it.

Beautiful place from the outside, gorgeous and rich from the inside. A great place for performing arts and cultural events.

Great vibe for arts. Parking is crazy expensive though, as it's intended to be. Park at the nearby Suntec Convention Centre or Marina Square for more manageable fees.

The spiky shell had the esplanade Theaters on the Bay quickly nicknamed "Durian". After the stinky fruit with which they associate the tips. The cultural center is located on the waterfront overlooking the Singapore Flyer and towards Marina Bay Sands.

Maybe one of the best places in Singapore.... many cultural activities including free performances, expos, .... also nice food court cheap and delicious.....

I went to Esplanade outdoor theater for Rockin' The Region, the place was great, crowd responded nicely with the performers.
Great performances. Really love the vibe, with water and skyscrapers on the background.

Very enjoyable, watching local artists performances

Design + Architecture
It is always advisable to go at night. The day I went I found a light and music show with the water sources that were unmissable.

Great with many concerts to choose from and also have restaurants

Beautiful place with wonderful music. Lots of interesting food and spaces. Its a classic space. Has a library too! Music and books all in one location. Bars and eateties here have decent food and fine music. Worth visiting.

Great spot for the regular dose of culture... Numerous places to slake your thirst and the very interesting Gluttons' Bay besides!
