The Gardens by the Bay are part of a huge project designed to make Singapore a greener city. With three waterfront gardens set on different sides of the Marina Bay, visitors can explore outdoor gardens full of local plants and indoor Cooled Conservatories, which are home to flora from colder parts of the world. You’ll also see the impressive Supertree Grove, can climb the OCBC Skyway, or take your children to play in the Children’s Garden.

8 tips for visiting the Gardens by the Bay

Plan ahead to be able to discover everythingSince the Bay South Garden is particularly extensive, you should plan at least four hours for a visit to be able to explore all areas. If you don't want to visit all the attractions, you should still plan to spend one or two hours there. But don't miss out on the Supertrees at night!

Visit the other gardens tooIn addition to the impressive Bay South Garden, there is also the Bay Central Garden and Bay East Garden along Marina Bay. The Central Bay Garden offers a breathtaking view of the Singapore skyline with its three-kilometer-long waterfront. At Bay East Garden, you can visit the beautiful tropical gardens to take a break from the hustle and bustle. Both gardens can be visited free of charge.

Take the opportunity and visit Marina Bay SandsSince the Observation Deck SkyPark of Marina Bay Sands is just a stone's throw away, you should take the opportunity to combine both attractions. At the height of this skyscraper, the sprawling park even has a completely different effect!

Spectacular gardens in the middle of the city

Gardens by The Bay is a $625 million project of the city-state of Singapore, which follows the strategy of transforming the city into a garden to improve the quality of life. For this purpose, three green oases, which cover more than 240 acre (100 hectares), were artificially created around Marina Bay: Bay Central Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay South Garden. The Bay South Garden is not only the largest and newest, but also the most impressive.

Award winning architecture

The two glass houses (Flower Dome and Cloud Forest) along Marina Bay are not only a piece of art from the outside, they are also a real architectual masterpiece since their huge glass roofs have no supports inside. They were designed by London-based architectural firm Wilkinson Eyre. In 2012, the domes were awarded as Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival.

Mediterranean floral variety

The Flower Dome is the bigger one of the two domes and was added 2015 in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's largest glass house. Mild-dry conditions mimicking the Mediterranean or semi-arid climate zone prevail under this dome, allowing olive trees, orchids, magnolias and baobabs, among others to thrive. The Flower Dome hosts constantly changing flower shows such as Tulipmania, Orchid Extravaganza and Blossom Beats.

Tropical forests

The Cloud Forest dome mimics the tropics at an altitude of approximately 39000 to 118000 inches (1000 to 3000 meters). Through the misty landscape you can explore the tropical highlands, which have many rare vegetations to offer. The highlight of this glasshouse is Cloud Mountain, a 1377 inch (35 meter) high tower decorated with orchids, flamingo flowers and bromeliads. From the tower, you can access the Tree Top Walk and Cloud Walk bridges, jutting out around the tower. The highlight of this glass house is the waterfall that flows from the top of the tower.

The spectacle

When leaving the glass houses, one immediately catches sight of the steel Supertrees, which rise 25 to 50 meters in height and are covered with over 160,000 plants. These artificial trees perform important functions such as growing plants, harvesting solar energy and collecting rainwater. Two of the Supertrees are connected by the OCBC Skyway suspension bridge, which can be crossed for a small additional fee. An unforgettable view is offered by the 50-meter-high Supertree Observatory observation deck overlooking the Marina-Bay skyline, for which an additional ticket can be purchased. The undisputed highlight of the Supertrees becomes clear after dark - the Garden Rhapsody Show, which takes place twice a day at evening.

In blooming fairyland

As soon as you enter the Floral Fantasy attraction, it feels like you've arrived in Wonderland. The attraction consists of four themed areas characterized by extraordinary floral artworks. The areas were inspired by fairy tales and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Impressive view

The 5000-inch-long (128 m) OCBC Skyway Path winds around the Supertrees at a height of 866 inch (22 meters). You can marvel at 150,000 plants, including ferns, orchids and tropical climbers. Of course, the attraction also offers an impressive view of the gardens and Marina Bay.
