The store serves as a gallery with interactive workshops and other techy allures for the new generation to enjoy. The store is located at Bayfront Avenue, Marina Bay Sands.

 3. Enjoy a Cruise Along the Iconic Singapore River

 The waterfront is better enjoyed from a perch on the Singapore River. The electric River Cruise Bumboat is the perfect viewpoint for exploring all the top attractions along the Marina Bay Sands stretch. The cruise takes about forty minutes and is a thrilling way to explore the neighborhoods of Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, and South Marina. If you sit to the right edge of the boat, you will be able to enjoy the sights better, which are highlighted via a very helpful audio guide of each attraction. There are several jetties scattered along the river’s edge from where you can board the vessel. Tours are conducted from nine in the morning to 11 pm.

 4. Amble Along the Helix Bridge

 Located along Bay Front Avenue, the Helix Bridge gives you sweeping views of the surroundings. This has got to be one of the best spots in Singapore for social media updates. The bridge stretches from Esplanade drive to The Shoppes and is a unique feat of architectural skills as the design represents a DNA structure. See if you are smart enough to spot the letters a, c, t, and g integrated into the design representing the molecules that makeup DNA. You can take the Circle Line from the Promenade MRT and walk from Temasek Avenue all the way to Bayfront Avenue.

 5. Immerse Your Senses in Art at the Singapore National Art Gallery

 Over 8,000 works of art, from across the region, are on display at this magnificent gallery. But there is so much more to the museum than the inspiring displays. The building too is considered an architectural marvel from the signature high-domes to the symmetrical corridors, and gigantic pillars. Enjoy exploring the elegant and endless halls filled with treasures.
