A Place to Read the Future of Singapore at Marina Bay

Inside the Marina Barrage, Singapore's climate responses, water management, waste, and sustainable living are explained through interactive exhibits. You can also understand the operation of sluice gates and pumps during heavy rain through a barrage model. It serves as a good starting point to grasp the overall context of policies and technologies before viewing the outdoor facilities.

Check at the 1st-floor information desk for gallery entrance and tour availability. Make sure to verify the official operating hours, including lunchtime breaks and closure days like Tuesdays, before your visit. Specific conditions apply to pet access and group tours. During actual movement, prioritize the building names and exit numbers indicated on the signs, and it's wise to pause at the edges to avoid blocking pedestrian flow while checking maps or taking photos. Operating hours, access ranges, and event controls may vary, so check the official page and on-site notices again on the day of your visit. The coordinates refer to the WGS84 location's central point, and for facilities with multiple entries, be sure to confirm the closest entrance to your destination.

A large grassy roof covering the upper part of the Marina Barrage, using recycled plastic drainage cells and soil to reduce heat influx into the building. It opens to citizens for picnics, kite flying, and skyline viewing. You can experience energy-saving features of the infrastructure and public leisure space in one place.

Follow the gentle ramp to the rooftop and observe the connection between the building and the grass. There’s less shade, so it's advisable to avoid midday sun and manage items that might get blown away by the wind. Check for restrictions on cycling, skating, and ball games. During actual movement, prioritize the building names and exit numbers indicated on the signs, and it's wise to pause at the edges to avoid blocking pedestrian flow while checking maps or taking photos. Operating hours, access ranges, and event controls may vary, so check the official page and on-site notices again on the day of your visit.

A solar panel facility that supplements part of the daytime power for the gallery and office spaces of the Barrage. PUB introduces it as an energy-saving feature with 405 installed panels. Instead of dazzling exhibits, this shows how the actual infrastructure reduces its own operational energy.

Look at the panel arrangement within the public viewing areas and designated tour limits. Avoid trying to get too close to the panels and instead make use of the gallery explanations and external views. Access to the equipment area may be restricted for maintenance and safety reasons. During actual movement, prioritize the building names and exit numbers indicated on the signs, and it's wise to pause at the edges to avoid blocking pedestrian flow while checking maps or taking photos. Operating hours, access ranges, and event controls may vary, so check the official page and on-site notices again on the day of your visit. The coordinates refer to the WGS84 location's central point, and for facilities with multiple entries, be sure to confirm the closest entrance to your destination.

A large pump facility that drains water from the reservoir to the sea during heavy rain and high tides. The design incorporates natural lighting, ventilation, and equipment cooling using reservoir water to reduce operational energy. It helps to understand that urban flood responses are maintained through an unseen mechanical system.

Interpret the position of the pumps and sluices through gallery models and open external viewing points. Since the pumps do not operate continually, instead of expecting to see them in action, observe their principles. Do not enter the inside of the operational facilities or cross the safety control lines. During actual movement, prioritize the building names and exit numbers indicated on the signs, and it's wise to pause at the edges to avoid blocking pedestrian flow while checking maps or taking photos. Operating hours, access ranges, and event controls may vary, so check the official page and on-site notices again on the day of your visit. The coordinates refer to the WGS84 location's central point, and for facilities with multiple entries, be sure to confirm the closest entrance to your destination.

A freshwater urban reservoir created by blocking seawater inflow with the Marina Barrage. Water supply, flood control, and leisure activities such as kayaking and sailing occur on the same surface. This fact most directly showcases how the water visible to tourists in the bay is part of the city's infrastructure.

Compare the inside of the sluice and the outer sea surface direction from the barrage or the waterfront promenade. Water activities should be conducted with approved operators and in designated areas; be sure to check water quality and weather announcements. Do not cross the edge railings or approach restricted areas near the sluices. During actual movement, prioritize the building names and exit numbers indicated on the signs, and it's wise to pause at the edges to avoid blocking pedestrian flow while checking maps or taking photos. Operating hours, access ranges, and event controls may vary, so check the official page and on-site notices again on the day of your visit.

A green space created above the Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant, serving as an example of overlapping water production infrastructure and park-like land use. The facility roof connects to landscapes and leisure spaces close to the urban coast. Compared to the green roof of the Marina Barrage, it showcases the expansion of public spaces above infrastructure.

Move along the public access path from the Marina East Drive side and follow the on-site guidance. Only utilize the publicly accessible rooftop greenery and adjacent walkways, not the inside of the operational facilities. Verify opening times and whether there will be any limitations due to construction or maintenance before your visit. During actual movement, prioritize the building names and exit numbers indicated on the signs, and it's wise to pause at the edges to avoid blocking pedestrian flow while checking maps or taking photos.
