Soaking in the festive sights, food and carnival activities at Christmas Wonderland is almost a tradition for Singaporeans at this point. And as 2023 draws to a close, it's time to add this yuletide event to your calendar again! Presented by Trip.com, Christmas Wonderland is returning to Gardens by the Bay from 1 December 2023 to 1 January 2024. This year's edition marks its 10th, and features a supersized fairground with even more light displays, carnival rides and festive activities.

Spanning across 27,000 square metres, the fairground has three zones to explore: Supertree Grove, Frosty's Fairground at The Meadow, and Gingerbread Grove. There's plenty for visitors to see and do: pose for a photo with 13 light displays, experience 'snow', have a go at carnival rides & games, meet Santa Claus, feast on festive fare, catch live performances by local artistes and more.

Christmas Wonderland's main showpiece, the Spalliera, will be a dazzling sight, lit by 103,000 bulbs and standing at 20 metres high. Completing the whimsical atmosphere is 'snow' during Blizzard Time and the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show.

Over at Frosty’s Fairground, visitors can enjoy carnival games and amusement rides by Uncle Ringo like Bumper Cars, Carousel, Flying Dumbo and Hot Air Balloon. The little ones can head to LumiLand, an illuminated playground where there are seesaws and swings decorated with lights.
