I went to collect our tickets first but got a bit lost trying to find the entrance to the tents haha... walked one whole round before I realised it's just along the broadwalk facing the Singapore River. Just about 5 mins walk away from Marina Bay Sands {entrance near Carnivore} so very convenient.. if you know the correct way :P



I read that Cavalia’s horse training is based upon a philosophy of understanding horses, rather than making horses understand the humans around them. Not master and beast; but man and friend. There is mutual respect, kindness, patience, and trust between the horses and humans. It certainly was very touching to see them interact and communicate.


However if your young ones aren't used to long shows, it might not be wise to bring them along though as the shows are typically full and there's no space to walk around if they get bored. Don't bother to bring your strollers as well since there won't be any place to store them.
After the show, Lil Pumpkin asked if she can try horse-riding :P That's on my 30 before 30 list and I was supposed to go with Susu before she gave birth but we postponed it. Guess I'll have to bring Lil Pumpkin along too when the time comes! :)
No photography or video-taking during the show is allowed but that's ok, as I could fully immerse myself in the atmosphere and enjoy it with my family without holding on to a camera trying to get that perfect shot. The performance photos featured here are from Cavalia Singapore's website.
Tips:
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before show time to buy snacks and find your seats.
- The White Theatre Tent is air-conditioned so wear comfortable, smart casual clothing
- Not recommended to wear heels as you'll have to walk on wooden planks
- Smoking is not permitted in the Theatre Tent
- Mobile phones must be turned off during the show
- No animals are permitted in the Theatre Tent {other than the performing horses} unless they are for guide or mobility assistance
- Use the restrooms at MBS to avoid the crowd. I reckon they are cleaner too! :P
- Light snacks and beverages are available for purchase. Eat full meals before watching.

I'd like to see that to! Once I took Mica to the Barnum and Bailey Circus with his preschool. He was so disappointed that it wasn't Cirque du Soleil. We have Cirque du Soleil on DVD, so he had watched that a lot.
I do think it's great you're exposing Lil Pumpkin to arty stuff at this age. I know too many adults who'd dismiss these as 'boring' without even trying out one.
Looks like a fantastic show! And yes! You should definitely try horse riding before your 30th!
Alissa: I'd like to catch Cirque du Soleil too. We watched House of Dancing Waters in Macau.. that was really spectacular too!
Stacy: It's great that she finds it interesting too haha
Grace: I'm 30 already!! But yes, I will ;)
It looks very impressive and something I would LOVE to get to to escape the daily grind! x
I think this would be nice to see. Your tips are helpful too.
I laughed at you getting lost...story of my life!! :)
Looks like a great production Ai. I'm so impressed that lil pumpkin can sit through such a long show, my boy would have been a handful through it. Have a great weekend! x
Those horses are so beautiful! I bet you all had a wonderful time at the show!
