From the station to Esplanade Theatre

Turn right and follow the escalators and signs towards Esplanade Tunnel.
Enter Esplanade at B1, then follow Theatre signs to the correct foyer.

Choose the right approach

Esplanade estimates 7–10 minutes from its namesake station and 10–15 minutes from City Hall for families.
The City Hall route is sheltered and air-conditioned, but stairs/escalators along the links have stairlifts requiring intercom assistance. Do not assume an uninterrupted lift-only route.
For late visits, check tunnel access hours in the venue advisory.
