Bayfront Plaza at Gardens by the Bay is a new space which occupies the site of the SG50 Future of Us exhibition. The 5,000 square metre location includes both indoor and outdoor areas and is intended to provide more opportunities for Singaporeans enjoy Gardens by the Bay for years to come.
Here are eight things to know about Gardens by the Bay’s Bayfront Plaza.
