Comprehensive Guide to Singapore's Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay, known as the green heart of Singapore, is a landmark attraction featuring 18 towering Supertrees, the Flower Dome, and the Cloud Forest. The area is vast, so careful planning is essential. Tickets are cheaper if purchased in advance through review sites, as buying on-site can be more expensive. 📑 Suggested Itinerary (starting at 3 PM): 1⃣️ Begin by navigating to the 'Water Lily Pond,' a free attraction that resembles a small aquarium. You might encounter wild otters and Asian water monitors here, though sightings are based on luck. We didn't see any during our visit, but there were plenty of small geckos. This spot also offers a popular photo opportunity with the Supertrees, fountains, and Marina Bay Sands in the background. 2⃣️ Next, return to the visitor center to find the entrance to the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. 3⃣️ Start with the Flower Dome, which showcases flowers from various regions and themes. There are many unique flowers, and currently, there's a Monet Garden display. 4⃣️ Proceed to the Cloud Forest, where you'll be greeted by the world's largest indoor waterfall. It's breathtaking, so take your time exploring the ground floor before queuing for the elevator to the upper levels, as the descent leads directly to the exit. 5⃣️ Afterward, stroll along the Marina Bay path to Marina Bay Sands for dinner at the mall. 6⃣️ Visit the Sands SkyPark Observation Deck at dusk, the most beautiful time to enjoy panoramic views of the Merlion and Gardens by the Bay's Supertrees. Stay until 7:45 PM for the first Supertree light show, offering a unique perspective from the observation deck. 7⃣️ After sunset at 8 PM, navigate to 'Supertree Grove' for the second Supertree light show at 8:45 PM. This is the perfect opportunity to capture stunning night views of the Supertrees and Marina Bay Sands together. If you find the tour too exhausting, you can opt to explore only the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest before heading directly to the Sands SkyPark for the light show. #TravelGuide #CulturalAttractions #Singapore #SingaporeTravel #GardensByTheBay #MarinaBay #Scenery
