Officially opened in 1 Nov 2008, Marina Barrage is a dam built across the Marina Channel to create Singapore’s first freshwater urban reservoir. It’ll help Singapore to become self-sufficient in water by 2061 when its water agreement with Malaysia ends.
The Marina Bridge (dam) holds the nine crest gates that control water flow at the mouth of the Marina Channel. It also serves as a flood-control gate.
Er? The Singapore Flyer again? Yes! You can have a very nice view of the city from Marina Barrage.
The $226 million Marina Barrage is also a major lifestyle and tourist attraction! Many families visit this newly opened recreation centre over the weekends. The Colourful water jets add elegance to this amazing new architecture.
Get wet! Happy children running around the fountain, playing with water. Read More »
“Songs of the Sea” is a multi-sensory extravaganza with dramatic effects of lasers, lights, fire bursts, water jets, captivating music, pyrotechnics and a live cast. It’s the world’s only permanent show set in the sea. An entry fee is S$8 and the amphitheatre is located at Siloso Beach.
The show commenced with some happy youngsters dancing and singing English, Chinese, Malay and Indian folk songs of the four main races in Singapore.
