iLumi Singapore is absolutely magical during Christmas! The festive lights were breathtaking, with dazzling displays that instantly put us in the holiday spirit. From sparkling trees to creative light installations, every corner was a photo opportunity waiting to happen. The Christmas-themed lighting was truly spectacular, with a mix of classic and modern designs that mesmerized both kids and adults. The synchronized light shows set to festive music were a highlight—it felt like stepping into a winter wonderland! The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, with plenty of family-friendly activities and delicious holiday treats available. It’s the perfect place to soak in the Christmas cheer and create unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stunning holiday experience in Singapore. Don’t miss it!
We weren’t sure what we would be seeing, but from the moment we got inside Illumi we never stopped saying ‘wow’. It was brilliantly done, and we loved every minute there. We were a group of young and old and we all cam out with a big smile on our faces. Well done Singapore yet again!
I was amazed with the many different light themes being exhibited, it's blown our minds!! Glad to join, even though it's our first time attending illumi event, my daughter and I really enjoyed the evening. Thankfully the weather was just nice, without rain.
As a tourist here in Singapore, this is so beyond my expectations seeing videos of illumi on youtube... the experience was so magical!!! One of a kind!!! An experience I would never forget. This is definitely a core added memory. Thank you for bringing this to us!
Fantastic exhibition and worth going.
Love that there were clear arrows to show the direction of flow. The place was very spacious and a lot of seats available for rest👍🏻A lot of different types of lights and worth the money. Even have additional coupons too😊👍🏻
