1. SPALLIERA

Taking centre stage at the heart of Supertree Grove is Christmas Wonderland’s main showpiece, the Spalliera. With a design inspired by Mesola Castle in north Italy’s province of Ferrara, this magnificent Italian handcrafted light display is lit by 103,000 bulbs and stands majestically at 20 meters tall – roughly the height of five double-decker buses. Mesola Castle is unique for its four towers that are positioned 45 degrees from the main building, giving the castle a distinct architectural shape. This feature is replicated in the design of the Spalliera.

2. GARDEN RHAPSODY & BLIZZARD TIME

Against the backdrop of the Spalliera, get spellbound during the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, as the lights on the iconic Supertrees ‘dance’ to favourite Christmas classics. This will be followed by Blizzard Time with a wonderful experience of ‘snow’ in the tropics.

*Daily shows at 7.45pm, 8.45pm, and 9.35pm.

3. LIGHT DISPLAYS

Fresh from a magical voyage and docked at Christmas Wonderland for the holiday season is the Holly Roger ship with its crew of merry pirate elves. Illuminated by approximately 127,000 bulbs, this brand-new 24-metre-long whimsical light display is a sight to behold. 

More new captivating light displays can be found at Merry Lane presented by Trip.com, with installations such as giant snowflakes and Santa’s boot that will make quirky backdrops for your outfit of the day (OOTD).
