Escape the crowds at Marina Barrage and make your way down to Keppel Marine East Desalination Plant for a change! With an unobstructed view of Singapore's skyline, stay until nightfall for a breathtaking view from the rooftop of the Desalination Plant.

While the Esplanade is renowned for its grand concerts and performances, the roof terrace is often overlooked by most. With a picturesque landscape of manicured lawns, shrubs, and trees to provide shade, it provides a green refuge which contrasts uniquely to the modern architecture of the twin domes of the Esplanade. With a magnificent view of the city and Marina Bay, the Roof Terrace is the perfect spot for a relaxing picnic.
