Christmas Wonderland returns to Gardens by the Bay from 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, bringing its annual mix of festive lights, seasonal entertainment, carnival attractions, food and shopping to a 30,000sqm fairground.

Now in its 13th edition, this year’s Christmas Wonderland introduces several new attractions alongside returning favourites including Flying Santa, Blizzard Time and Garden Rhapsody. For pawrents looking to include their pets in the festive season, the outdoor setting also makes this a possible evening outing to enjoy together — with a few things to keep in mind before visiting.

What’s New at Christmas Wonderland 2026

This year’s edition brings several new experiences to the fairground.

Santa Mission Control

Step into a 450sqm immersive gift factory at Santa Mission Control, where visitors can explore Santa’s workshop and meet Father Christmas.

Elf Treehouse

One of the biggest new additions is the 20-metre-tall Elf Treehouse, a digital mixed-media installation located at The Lawn.

The woodland-inspired installation adds another illuminated backdrop to the Christmas Wonderland experience and is designed to be enjoyed as part of the wider outdoor fairground.

Grab Holiday Village

The Grab Holiday Village takes on the theme “Take a Holiday from the Holidays!” with activities, booths and prizes, alongside features such as the Grab Holiday Lodge, Chill Out Snowglobe and Wishing Christmas Tree. The space is designed to be family- and pet-friendly, giving visitors another area to explore during their visit.

Solace Studios

For something a little different, Solace Studios brings a 100sqm Christmas-themed pop-up featuring eight Korean-style self-photobooths.

It offers visitors a chance to take festive photos and create keepsakes from their visit.

Festive Lights and Returning Favourites

The lights remain at the heart of Christmas Wonderland, with illuminated installations spread across the fairground.

The 20-metre Spalliera returns to Supertree Grove, where visitors can also experience Blizzard Time as snow-like flurries fill the area. Other festive displays include Merry Lane by Trip.com, which features 50,000 LED light bulbs, alongside Snowball Lane, Jingle Grove and other illuminated installations.

Flying Santa also returns, with Santa and his reindeer taking to the sky above The Meadow at selected times throughout the evening. The display is weather dependent.

Visitors can also catch Garden Rhapsody at the Supertrees, with Christmas-themed music and lights adding to the evening atmosphere.

Festive Entertainment Throughout the Fairground

Beyond the light displays, Christmas Wonderland will feature more than 180 hours of festive entertainment throughout the season.

The programme includes local artistes, live performances, flash mobs, carol singalongs and mascot appearances, giving visitors plenty to see as they make their way around the fairground.

Carnival Rides, Games and Festive Shopping

For those looking beyond the lights, Christmas Wonderland will also bring back its carnival games and rides.

Visitors can find attractions including Wonderland Express, a double-storey Venetian horse carousel, Bumper Cars, Holly Jolly Spin and Mini Viking, alongside games such as Dart the Halls, Elf Dunk, Tinsel Target, Snowball Cannon and Fishy Fishy. These are separately priced.

Mistletoe Alley will also return with festive stalls offering seasonal food, drinks, gifts and shopping.

Bringing Your Pet Along?

Dogs are permitted in the Outdoor Gardens at Gardens by the Bay, which includes areas such as Supertree Grove and The Meadow. Christmas Wonderland itself is an outdoor fairground, making it possible for pawrents to take in the festive displays and atmosphere with their pets.

However, pet access does not mean every attraction is suitable for or accessible to pets. Some experiences have their own pet-handling requirements, so it is worth checking the guidelines before entering individual attractions.

Crowds, music, bright lights and weather conditions are also worth considering, particularly for pets that are less comfortable in busy environments.

When Is the Best Time to Visit With Your Pet?

Christmas Wonderland takes place in the evening, with the fairground operating throughout the festive season.

For pawrents, visiting earlier in the evening on a weekday may be worth considering if your pet is more comfortable with fewer people around. The later evening hours can also be busier, particularly around popular showtimes and the festive period.
