This reservoir is one of the most popular locations for brilliant views of the 2025 New Year’s Eve fireworks display across the Bay. We highly suggest coming early to snag a good spot in advance. There’ll be plenty to do while you wait for the NYE fireworks; pack snacks and kites and you’ll have a ball with the kids on the lovely windy green. Then, settle down to watch the NYE 2025 fireworks in Singapore light up the sky over the Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands.

Where: 11 Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018940
Access via: Downtown MRT Station
7. Victoria Theatre: Beautiful fireworks viewing spot in Singapore

8. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands rooftop: Hidden fireworks viewing spot
The Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade is undoubtedly a popular fireworks-viewing spot for the New Year’s Eve countdown fireworks. But not many might know that there’s a hidden spot within The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands that gives you a spectacular view of the NYE fireworks. Head up to the rooftop of the mall! Entry is free and it’s open to the public.
Where: The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
Access via: Bayfront MRT, then follow the directions to The Shoppes. Take the escalator to the rooftop from the Boucheron store.
9. The Singapore River: NYE fireworks away from main crowds
The Singapore River is a great spot to catch the NYE fireworks for free (as long as you can spot Marina Bay Sands)! We found a great viewing spot near Clarke Quay MRT station (exit E) where you can see the 2025 New Year’s Eve fireworks display from a distance. It’s a great fireworks viewing spot if you’re bringing the kids along, as you won’t have to battle the main crowds at the Marina Bay area.
Where: Singapore River, Clarke Quay
Access via: Clarke Quay MRT exit E
10. High Street Centre Carpark: Less crowded fireworks spot
You might think it’s strange to head to a carpark for New Year’s Eve 2025 fireworks, but if you want to avoid the usually crowded places, then this is the place to go! The 5th floor of the carpark overlooks the Singapore River with a gorgeous view of the city skyline and the Marina Bay area, which is where you’ll see the 2025 NYE fireworks!

Access via: Harbourfront MRT and then take a 12-15 minute walk up
12. Marina Barrage: Free fireworks viewing spot
You won’t get a full view of the fireworks here, but we love the green space on the rooftop of Marina Barrage that overlooks the city skyline.

Where: 8 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018951
Access via: Gardens by the Bay MRT station, Exit 2
13. Marina South Pier: Quiet fireworks viewing spot
Located along Marina Coastal Drive, Marina South Pier is tucked further away from the prime location for the 2025 NYE fireworks, but you’ll probably still be able to see the fireworks. If you have younger kids who might be afraid of very loud noises, then this might be a great place to catch the New Year’s Eve fireworks without busting your eardrums!
Where: 31 Marina Coastal Drive, Singapore 018988
Access via: Marina South Pier MRT, Exit B
14. Marina Square Rooftop: View of Marina Bay fireworks
Okay, you might not get the best views from this spot. But since it overlooks part of the Singapore cityscape, including Marina Bay Sands, you should be able to catch a glimpse of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. Since it’s located on the rooftop of a popular mall downtown, it might get crowded. So, be sure to get there early to save the best spot to see the NYE fireworks!
Where: Rooftop of Marina Square, 6 Raffles Blvd, Singapore 039594
Access via: top floor of the Marina Square Mall, 4-min walk from Esplanade MRT station via Exit C
