Instructions & Recommendations
You will likely need to rent gloves and ski pants (available at the entrance). This activity can be combined with the Science Centre which is in the next building or the Jurong Lake Gardens complex that has an entrance within walking distance.
Environmental & Social
Significant energy expenditure to keep the temperature so low and create 10-15t of snow every day. We have not seen any sustainability policy. Socially neutral
Conclusion
Singapore's Snow City mainly caters to residents who have no or little snow experience - the concept might be interesting but unfortunately the slope and snow depth are too limited and the centre suffers from under-investment, making for a disappointing experience - and not an eco-friendly one to top it all.
Key positive
Opportunity to see and slide on the snow for those who never have before
Key negative
Bad environmental credentials
Lack of rental clothes sizes and inferior quality
Suitability
Suitable for kids aged >2yrs (min. size required in places) - best for families For practical and safety reasons the slope is not accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
