The urban farm in the newly opened Funan is indeed a vantage point to catch the NDP fireworks. Did you every think of that? The urban farm overlooks the Marina Bay and despite the surroundings which has pretty tall buildings, you will still be able to catch the spectacle! You can even head a few levels higher to the rooftop garden which even has lounge chairs for you to cozy up.
