If you are searching for a fun-filled educational trip in Singapore, look no further than the Marina Barrage - the country's 15th reservoir and the first in the heart of the city. While the barrage acts a new source of fresh water supply to the nation and helps to control floods in the Marina Bay area, many visitors recognise the Barrage as a recreational area as well. Opened in 2008, the part-dam, part-attraction stretches from Marina East to Marina South, and with a backdrop as stunning as the Marina Bay area, it is no wonder that the Marina Barrage is considered to be one of the best places for photography.

Its calm waters make it the perfect place for water sports such as kayaking and dragon-boating. The rooftop of the barrage is also a popular spot for kite-flying, picnics or simply relaxing with friends and family. Visitors can also check out the Solar Park, which houses one of the largest collections of solar panels in Singapore. What's more is that everything here, from the rooftop to the walls, is carefully constructed for environmental sustainability!
