Which Spectra show time should you choose?
Choose a specific performance before making dinner or transport plans. A 15-minute running time describes the show itself. It does not include the walk from the station or the time spent finding a place to stand.
If you want the later show, check the day of the week first. The resort’s regular schedule adds 10pm on Friday and Saturday. Use the current attraction page when a public event or special schedule could affect your plans.
If you are combining it with dinner, decide when you need to leave the table. Save the show time and leave enough room to reach the waterfront before it starts.
Bayfront MRT to the Event Plaza viewing area
Use Exits C or D and follow signs to Event Plaza. Inside The Shoppes, look for the waterfront exit rather than the hotel towers. Event Plaza is outside, so plan for the weather once you reach the promenade.
The resort describes Event Plaza as the place for a close view of the projections on the water. Choose an open position where the group can see and others can still pass. If the front is busy, move along the public area and look for another clear sightline.

Plan the meeting point and the walk back
Choose a specific point on the Marina Bay Sands side of the bay before meeting friends. A person who goes to Merlion Park may see the resort across the water but will be on a different bank. If you want to watch together, name Event Plaza and the approach you will use.
After the show, wait clear of the main route if you need to regroup. Use Bayfront MRT signs for the return. If you plan to walk farther, choose the next destination based on your remaining time and the route you want to take.
