Gardens by the Bay will close Satay by the Bay from 1 October 2026, giving visitors to Singapore a clear change to note at the waterfront attraction. The open-air food court will make way for a refreshed dining experience connected with the planned Wetlands by the Bay development.
Satay by the Bay closes from 1 October 2026
The closure takes effect on Thursday, 1 October 2026. Gardens by the Bay states that other dining options will remain available elsewhere across the site, so the change concerns one food venue rather than the closure of the wider garden.
The operator's notice does not announce a shutdown of the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, Floral Fantasy, Supertrees or OCBC Skyway. It identifies the Waterfront Promenade food court as the location affected by the change. A closure notice for 1 October 2026 appears on the official events page.
The Waterfront Promenade venue gives way to Wetlands by the Bay
Satay by the Bay opened in 2013 and has a listed capacity of 1,000 seats. The Straits Times reported that the site is being cleared for the Wetlands by the Bay development, which is planned as a larger landscape and wetland area within the wider Gardens by the Bay setting.
The venue's final service day is 30 September 2026, followed by closure from 1 October 2026. This places the food court's last operating day immediately before the official change. The timing connects a practical dining change with the site's longer-term transformation of the waterfront edge, rather than altering access to the conservatories or Supertree Grove. The background and final service date were reported by The Straits Times.
Gardens by the Bay is set in Singapore's downtown and contains cooled conservatories, Supertrees and collections of plants from around the world. The operator says the site is home to more than 1.5 million plants, while the OCBC Skyway rises 22 metres above the ground. Those attractions remain separate from the food court named in the closure notice.
