The Gardens by the Bay Christmas Train Show 2026 runs in the Flower Dome from Friday 20 November 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027, 9am to 9pm daily. It is included in Flower Dome admission, which is $12 for a Singapore resident adult and $8 for a child or senior.
This is the show's third edition. Model trains run through three miniature worlds:
United States: botanical models of railway stations on the West Coast, East Coast and the American heartland, a nod to where the trains-under-the-tree tradition started. Singapore: a bigger local section this year, with two SMRT trains running past reimagined MRT stations designed by NUS architecture students. Rovaniemi, Finland: Santa's hometown, with his toy factory, post office, reindeer sleigh and a Finnish sauna.
Around the dome there are Christmas trees, conifers and poinsettias. If your kid is into trains, the MRT section alone is worth the $8.
Ticket prices and opening hours
Hours: 9am to 9pm daily, last admission 8.30pm. The show sits inside the Flower Dome, so you just need a Flower Dome ticket.

Non-residents: Flower Dome and Cloud Forest is $46 an adult and $32 a child. Prices are in SGD and include GST, as listed by Gardens by the Bay.
