Marina Barrage

Last Saturday I was at Marina Barrage with my family & some family friends. We've never been there so decided to go there after lunch. We reached at at around 3pm. It wasn't too crowded but parking lots were filling up fast. Not a surprise considering it's a weekend & this place was opened about a month ago. People are always excited about new places. We're no exception!

We were greeted by the sight of nothing too spectacular upon arrival. Concrete and water and a spiral walkway leading to the top. Those not keen on walking can take a life or climb stairs up the 3rd floor. We walked up to take in the view of the Singapore Flyer and marina area. Some kids were flying kite at the top, while many others were playing at the water area downstairs.

There is a cafe looking out at the reservoir. Food & beverages are ok, not fantastic. There is also an exhibition area on water resources in Singapore. There is a "pump house" which I didn't check out but I guess it probably shows how water is treated?

I believe this place will be quite nice for a short romantic stroll at night, and will be even nicer when the IR at Marina is ready. For now it's a family spot in the day & dating spot at night. It's nice to go once in a while for a break from the city crowd but getting there is a problem for those without own transport. Free shuttle bus service is available from Marina Bay mrt station.
