Gardens by the Bay

More things to do in singapore →

Singapore's sci-fi botanical park: the Supertree Grove's vertical gardens, the Cloud Forest's 35m indoor waterfall, and the Flower Dome — the world's largest glass greenhouse. The outdoor gardens and the nightly Garden Rhapsody light show are free; the domes are what you pay for, and they're worth it.

Strategy

  • Book dome tickets on Klook and walk past the counter queue
  • The light show lawn fills by 7:30 — claim grass under a Supertree early
  • Bring a jacket: Cloud Forest runs at 23°C with mist

  • Shake Shack (Cloud Forest) — Yes, inside the dome

Getting there

What to carry
