Local note
The bit the data can't tell you — the reason this page beats Google Maps.
Future World (the permanent teamLab digital playground) is the real reason to come and the best-value single ticket, especially with kids — the touring exhibitions are more hit-or-miss. Sign up for the free Sands LifeStyle membership BEFORE buying: it knocks 30% off. Skip the S$99 all-access unless a special show grabs you. Weekdays are cheaper, and on Fridays up to four under-12s enter free per paying adult (excl. holidays).
