  • The Shoppes at MBS — 2-min walk
  • Helix Bridge — 5-min walk
  • Gardens by the Bay — 12-min walk

Local note

The bit the data can't tell you — the reason this page beats Google Maps.

The SkyPark ticket does NOT include the famous infinity pool — that's strictly for hotel guests, which many tourists only discover at the top. If you just want the view, buy a drink at the rooftop CÉ LA VI bar instead: same 57th-floor panorama, minimum spend close to the deck fee. Arrive ~30 min before sunset to catch skyline and night lights on one ticket.
