Spanning over 250 acres of reclaimed land,
Singapore’s awe-inspiring and award-winning Gardens by the Bay is a must-see attraction. Located next to Marina Reservoir, the gardens are home to many unique features that impress visitors of all ages and that are well worth repeat visits.
Flower Dome
Gardens by the Bay takes the traditional conservatory up several notches. One example is the Flower Dome, the largest glass greenhouse in the world as listed in the 2015 Guinness World Records. The dome contains plants and flowers from around the world, including a Mediterranean garden, olive grove, South African garden, South American garden, and more.
Supertree Grove

Looking at one of the Supertrees here at the Gardens of the Bay, you may think it is a thing from the future- but, the vertical garden is here in all its splendour. The Supertree Grove has 12 of these technologically advanced trees, with heights ranging between 25 metres to 50 metres. These superstructures are designed to function exactly like a tree- they harness solar energy with the help of photovoltaic cells and this energy powers up the amazing light and sound show every evening. The trees also absorb and store rainwater that helps its many vines to grow beautifully.
OCBC Skyway
Reach for the stars in the OCBC Skyway as you get an up-close look of the Supertrees in the garden. Walk along the 128 meter-long aerial area like no other. Since it is 22 meters above the ground, the OCBC Skyway is a popular attraction of all ages as you immerse yourself with the heart of nature. During the day, the OCBC Skyway is such a picturesque sight with its surrounding flora. Do not miss the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show that comes alive during evening.
Dragonfly and Kingfisher Lake
The Dragonfly and Kingfisher lakes are pools of aquatic life in Gardens by the Bay. The lakes are a world of their own with fishes and plants decorating its azure water. Interestingly, all the aquatic flora and fauna in these lakes have made it their natural habitat and they act together to maintain the nutrient composition in the water. These, along with the aquatic reeds are like natural eco-filters. If anything, you should spend some time here just to marvel at nature’s bounty.
Cloud Forest
Need a break from
Singapore’s heat? Step into the misty Cloud Forest, a domed conservatory mimicking the vegetation and geology of tropical highlands. As you walk throughout the Cloud Forest, you will spot a barrage of colourful flora and lush plants that will fill up your Instagram feed in no time.
The Cloud Forest spreads out over several levels, giving visitors a chance to catch its sights at varying altitudes. Strolling along the two walkways, the Cloud Walk and the Treetop Walk, offer the most spectacular views.
