    Absolutely a "must see" in Singapore!
    The last time I was in Singapore was over 20 years ago and the whole Marina Sands area has been built up since then. The Gardens by the Bay is a truly spectacular addition to the city! We were totally fascinated with the Floral Fantasy and Cloud Forest exhibition. Beautifully done with an incredible attention to detail. We timed our visit to be able to see the sound & light show by the Supertree grove at 19:45 - which was absolutely worth it! Try to get to the grove area earlier to get a good seat near the center of the big trees. Many people were laying down so they could easily look up at the trees during the show. It is definitely one of the most memorable moments of our trip!
    Hello! Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a great time at the Gardens. We look forward to having you back at the Gardens soon! Cheers, Amalina

    Tropical Oasis Not to be overlooked
    A must during any visit to this glorious country. Spotlessly clean superbly well organised and maintained something for everyone including the kids but the orchid display is second to none I’ve have ever seen. The cloud forest with an Avatar theme is exceptional and the waterfall spectacular

    Gardens by the Bay - Must See Attraction in Singapore
    This was our second visit to Singapore and one of the main attractions that we definitely wanted to see again are the Gardens by the Bay. This place is an immaculately maintained Botanical Garden that consists of two (2) main enclosed structures: The Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest Dome. Both of these enclosed structures are large in size and air-conditioned, which makes for a comfortable and enjoyable time while admiring the many plants and artwork statues - no matter what the weather is outdoors. Besides the Flower and Cloud Forest Domes, there are several other very interesting and worthwhile attractions: Floral Fantasy dome, Skyway, Supertree Observatory and Garden Pod. With all these different attractions, you have to plan on staying a full-day here at Gardens by the Bay to see everything. Even just walking outdoors around the area of the "Supertrees" is very enjoyable and interesting to marvel at these very tall structures. So Gardens by the Bay is highly recommended while in Singapore.

    Unreal
    What an experience. The whole gardens are incredible- literally some of the most beautiful gardens you can imagine. We did the tour of the flower dome which blew our minds. As a garden lover the displays of the horticulture was unreal and we happened to visit during the orchid extravaganza which was bloody amazing. The variety of species and the colours was spectacular. We also did the supertree observatory which offered panoramic views of the city including a front row seat to look at marina bay sands. The experience was made even better by my other half proposing at the top of the super. I loved Singapore during our trip but the gardens will forever be my favourite place. You must definitely go and see them if your ever visiting Singapore- you won’t be disappointed

    A must visit!
    Such a lovely place, you could spend all day here. We did the cloud forest and the flower dome and would highly recommend both. You need about an hour to go around each area. Unfortunately we run out of time to see the gardens at night but will come back to do this another time

    Beauty everywhere and it is cool inside
    You can spend as much time as you want in here with beauty all around and it is a delightful temperature. There are seats to sit on at various points around the garden and even a cafe inside. The floral arrangements, gardening and planting is spectacular and not to be missed if you are in Singapore. For all the experiences at ‘gardens by the bay’, allow a good 4 hours otherwise you will be rushing and miss things

    Gorgeous Gardens
    There are many photo opportunities inside and outside at the Garden Dome. We took a tram ride and wish we had stopped at the amazing Love the Last March sculpture which is a temporary exhibit until May of 2024. There are beautiful views of Marina Bay Sands in the background besides the beautiful horticulture.

    I went with my sister and we visited all of the attractions at the Gardens by the bay. For me the cloud forest was the best. My sister particularly liked the Supertree and being able to access the rooftop with a clear view. Having an attraction solely based on the wonder of plants was marvellous. The Gardens by the bay has just enhanced that to a new level

    Greenery within the city
    Gardens by the Bay is exceptional! It’s amazing to see such greenery within a city. I purchased a combo ticket through Klook, but that does not get you to see all the attractions, so I went there and separately purchased for the ones that were not included. I easily spent about 3 hours seeing everything they had to offer. The Avatar displays complements the Cloud Forest. Lots of walking so make sure you have comfortable shoes.

We visited during the evening to catch the light show in the supertrees. Unfortunately, the Supertree Grove was not accessible due to the a ticket Christmas fair so we could only watch from the outside. The lightshow as ok, nothing to shout about but perhaps we missed the full experience not being closer and not being able to hear the music.

We had dinner at Satay by the Bay. It was hot and smoky and my food from a seafood stall took so long to be ready that my companions had finished their food by the time mine arrived. I would not recommend eating here if you can help it.

Upon leaving, we wanted to take a taxi but unfortunately the queue was so long and I overheard a guy asking a group of tourist in front of me if they wanted to take a private transfer as taxis could take at least an hour. All of the taxis I could see were either flashing "On call" or "Shift Change".

So we decided to take a 20 min walk to the Bayfront MRT. What a mess it was, even to buy an MRT ticket. And the MRT staff who was supposed to be assisting didn't tell people in the queue that the ticketing machine only took $2 or $5 and we had to go and get a change. The MRT counter initially didn't want to assist in breaking up our $10 note, which would have left us stranded.

All in all, have your transport game plan sussed out before visiting. and plan to eat before or after.

This is free and the most amazing thing to do. It really is just magical. We went through the day, it was nice but nothing breathtaking. Although as it turns dark this place is just so incredible. It literally sends shivers down your spine it is so unreal. As t turns dark there is music and all the tress light up in line with the music. It is just unreal and moving. We paid a very small amount to walk the sky walk, you are above the trees and have a great view, although it is just as good on the ground looking up! There are two light shows per night and we stayed for both, one on the sky walk looking down and one on the floor looking up, both equally amazing. There are places to eat here too, mainly fast food but very very cheap! This was the most amazing thing to do - if in any doubt just do it - but make sure you visit at night to see the light shows.

I am not a plant person and I love Gardens by the Bay. First time visit even though I'm from Singapore... I went during the Christmas period so there were a lot more displays to see.

Stayed for over 3 hours exploring all the different exhibits including the Flower Dome etc. Went back in the evening on another day to see the Christmas Wonderland and the light show.

A good tip! If you're short on time and want to make your money's worth, go in the late afternoon...! That way you get to explore the place in the day, have dinner and continue exploring at night all for 1 single price!!! Most exhibits allows for re-entry, except for the Skypark.

So go to that place last, just before sunset to take photos of the city and stay there for a little longer to have a bird's eye view of the city lights and the light show on the Super Trees!

This fantastic area is located by the harbour front in Singapore and well worth a visit of at least 2-3 hours plus of you go later in the day, stay for the sound and light show where many of the sculptures are lit up with varying colours and patterns to the background of beautiful opera and music. There is an entry fee which varies on the number of sites you visit – we did two – the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest. Both were amazing and truly beautiful in terms of size, colours, architecture, and gardens plus plants from all around the world, all under cover in these sites. There are huge waterfalls, spectacular indeed, and a fascinating display of orchids plus great areas of sculptures and statues dispersed amongst the gardens. It is all air conditioned and a very good place to escape the heat and humidity of Singapore. You can buy a ticket to use a mini train that takes you around the park but in fact we probably would have been better just to walk around ourselves. You can hire an audio guide but we were short of time and did not do this, we cannot comment on that aspect. Everything is however well laid out and signed and you can follow the guided paths very easily. There are good cafes around the site with excellent snack food and drinks.

There is no cost to walking around the Gardens by the Bay exterior gardens.

The Dome Gardens have an entry cost for each separate dome.
Purchase your trolley cart bus ride ticket at this time

Flower Dome: Was decorated in all its Christmas glory.
Christmas Nordic Gnome Themed scenarios everywhere.
Everyone was oohing & aahing as they walked around

Cloud Forest Dome: the minute you walk in and see the waterfall in all its glory.
There are different levels in this dome with different experiences and views of the dome's floral and fauna species
There are great garden sculptures and phenomenal driftwood carved sculptures.
This dome is worth experiencing!

The Super Grove Light Show:
Get there early and claim a place to sit
Many people lay on the concrete beneath the tree structures waiting for the light show
The light show is approx 15 mins long. The lights and lasers are in sync with the music
It was an awesome show and experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it.....Don't miss it!

After the light show there are huge crowds all walking back towards the city.
Get to the Trolley Cart bus quickly and queue for the bus (if you purchased a ticket) Its a quick couple of minute ride instead of walking back in the crowds.

This is a truly wonderful area. We visited the Bay in late January during the day. The area is huge however there are shuttle busses to get you around if you want to use them. We walked! Seemed like a good idea, but Singapore is hot and very humid so you need to find shade and drink water.

The area is full of interesting quirky statues plus the very tall metal tulip shaped towers which are covered in plants. The tallest tower has a lift to the top (extra cost) the views are great 360deg over the gardens, the bay and city. There is also a “canopy walkway” (extra cost) but well worth it, after all you will only do it once!

After all that there are the two domes, flower and cloud. Don’t miss either of them, one benefit is that it’s cool inside! The flower dome is divided up into areas of the world. Showing off the fauna and flowers of each. The central area while we were there was a riot of colour using dahlias amongst other plants. The cloud dome has a very high waterfall falling down a plant covered “mountain”. This has a lift to the top and numerous walkways on the way down. I cannot describe the landscape you really do need to see for yourself.

You won’t be disappointed.

There is a cafe/restaurant in the park to give you sustenance in various cuisines and a break from the heat.

We visited the gardens both in the day and at night. In the day we only did the sky walk which was around S$8 pp giving great views on the gardens and city. It was a wonderful experience to see the Garden Rhapsody in the evening at 7:45pm / 8:45pm. My favourite place we visited when in Singapore and would highly recommend both visiting in the day and evening.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant !

This man-made master piece lives up to the the hype and offers a beautiful experience worth the lifetime.

The Musical Light Show is spectacular and if you fail to get a ticket (limited tickets makes it impossible to accommodate everyone so please book it way in advance) to observe it from the viewing deck

The light show takes place twice every night and is on for 15 minutes. The first show is on at 7:45pm and the second is on at 8:45pm. An extra show on Holidays is added, for which you'll have check on their official website (usually a 9.45pm show) .

There are many spots to see this beauty but our favorite (and Highly recommended) was to lie down on the concrete circles supporting the Garden Towers called Super tree Groves an hour prior to the show as they fill-in fast.

Others being:

From above, on the skywalk of Marina Bay Sands Hotel, decent view minus the music

On the promenade by the Dragonfly Lake, at the park entrance between Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.

The Deck / Skywalk exactly above the public loo overlooking the Super tree Groves (have some steps to climb up)

Other than that there are observatories like Cloud Forest, Flower Forest Dome which are worth the dime.

Numerous sculptures and and arts installed in beautiful corners are worth enjoying.

Restaurants are plenty but standards aren't that great so would suggest to stick to McDs in the Garden.

Alight from Station Bayfront MRT and walk to Garden By The Bay, this stretch of walk is not sheltered and can be quite hot when it is bright sunny day. Garden By The Bay is free entrance, but there are 2 conservatories that need ticket to enter, Flower Dome & Cloud Forest. Certain areas are quite cooling, elderly might need extra clothing.

We visited the gardens at night to get most of the light show, which is beautiful. The light show takes place every 45 mins and it gets very busy. Best way to see it is to find a spot in the middle of the tree sculptures and lay down on the floor. You can walk around a lot of the gardens free of charge, any attractions such as the viewing platform, sky bridge, cloud dome or flower dome are extra charge. If bought together, it’s cheaper.
