Ticketing was seamless. No problem using the QR code to alight the cable car. The cable car was a nice experience with great views over Singapore. No waiting on the day we rode. The meal was a ser menu although there were choices of each course and drinks. Appetisers were delightful- soup and bar snacks. Mains not quite as enjoyable. Too many mushroom dishes on offer. Drinks were also lovely. Would recommend.

Ease of booking, great price, I'm not but I was initially turned away from the gate because I needed to redeem my Headout voucher for a ticket at the ticket booth, but maybe I had the pdf tickets downloaded and made a mistake

This visit made me and my family appreciate the fact that this world belongs not only to humans, rather these spicies are habitat of ths planet earlier than us. Very astonishing fact is that there are few jelly fish which are yet to identified basis their origin. So the name tag says that it's not yet recognised. Awesome is an understatement. Not only for kids but my mother an elderly is equally amazed.

The VIP tour is the real deal. Quick access to the enclosures and a really cool visit to the back of the house of the aquarium. Totally worth the price, especially if like me you are on a tight schedule.
