8. Victoria Theatre
Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall is a beautiful venue in itself. Although it offers a partially blocked view of the 2025 New Year’s Eve fireworks, this venue is bound to see large crowds gather every year. Be sure to get there early to secure a good spot!
Where: 11 Empress Pl, #01-02, Singapore 179558
Access via: 3-minute walk from City Hall MRT and Raffles Place MRT
9. High Street Centre Carpark
You might think it’s strange to head to a carpark for New Year’s Eve 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 fireworks!
Where: 1 North Bridge Road, Singapore 179094

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
11. Marina South Pier
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
12. Marina Square Rooftop
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
13. Singapore Flyer
Catching the NYE 2025 fireworks in Singapore from the Singapore Flyer will give you the best bird’s eye view, and because it’s the hottest seat in the nation, the tickets get sold out quickly! It’s a bit of a cheat entry into the best ‘free’ spots to watch the 2024 fireworks since you still have to buy a ticket to the flyer.
Where: 30 Raffles Avenue, Singapore 039803
Access via: Promenade MRT Station
