Satay by the Bay closing down from Oct. 1, 2026, new wetlands attraction to replace it
Wetlands by the Bay will open in stages from end-2028.
Satay by the Bay, a popular 1,000-seat open-air food court at Gardens by the Bay, is set to close its doors on October 1, 2026. The establishment, which has been serving satay since its opening in 2013, will be replaced by the upcoming Wetlands by the Bay development. Gardens by the Bay announced the closure on September 1 via their social media post, with the last day of operations scheduled for September 30.
The Wetlands by the Bay project, which measures seven football fields, will be developed in stages, with the final phase set to commence in late 2028. Minister of State for National Development Alvin Tan had previously mentioned this timeline in parliament on March 4. In addition to Satay by the Bay, the Kingfisher Wetlands, a smaller wetlands area, will also be absorbed into the new development.
To replace Satay by the Bay, a new two-storey dining block is planned to open in 2028. This change comes after the food court began its journey as Satay Club off Beach Road in the late 1940s, later moving to the Esplanade area in the 1970s. The current stalls have been relocated to Clarke Quay Satay Club, which shut in 2005. Originally, eight stalls offered satay to customers.
