Witness the magical world of Gardens by the Bay in Singapore

The light show at Gardens By The Bay, also known as Garden Rhapsody is so mesmerising that they will transport you to one of the scenes in Avatar(the movie). The whole of Supertrees, gardens, the meadow and the bridge will illuminate vibrant colours and the sky will reflect it. The music along with the lights will enchant and leave you with goosebumps, making you question how real the entire experience was.

Where: Supertree Grove

The Flower Dome Singapore is spread over an area of 1.2 hectares, and it is the world’s largest column-less glasshouse. It emulates the dry climate of the Mediterranean, and other semi-arid tropical areas with similar weather conditions, like that of South America, Australia, and South Africa. The conservatory is almost like a small jungle with a quiet meadow, and rare species of all plants green and colourful. The excellence of its design is reflected in the walkways that pass through the tree canopies, and in some places, above the treetops. The highlight of this green space is the seven gardens that feature different varieties of flora.

Cloud forest, spread over an area of 0.8 hectares is higher but smaller than the two conservatories. The environment inside this glass-bound wonder is the opposite of the Flower Dome, as it is a replication of the moist and tropical climate of regions like South-East Asia, Middle, and South America. The conservatory gets its name from the 42-meter tall Cloud Mountain which is beautifully covered in orchids, anthuriums, bromeliads, peacock ferns, and other intricate epiphytes. You can take in all this as you descend the circular path which also passes from the front of the perpetual waterfall- a refreshing stop for sure.

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 meters. 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 their many vines to grow beautifully.

What if we told you that there is a way for you to see the marvellous Supertree Grove from up close? The OCBC Skyway is 128 meters of jaw-dropping aerial awesomeness- walking on it comes very close to feeling as if you are floating in mid-air. This one-of-its-kind skyway loops around the Supertrees, and is 22 meters above the ground. If you are here in the evening, you can witness the shades of dusk merging with the electrifying beauty of the Supertrees as the Garden Rhapsody begins- it is a light and sound show you wouldn’t want to miss.

The Water Play area is perfect if you're visiting with kids and features interactive water effects triggered by their movements through embedded motion sensors. The Toddler Play Zone offers both amusement and motor skill development opportunities, with swaying bridges, stepping springs, and the captivating Fish Fountain that's sure to captivate the little ones. The Rainforest Tree Houses offer a 130-meter trail of rope mazes, ladders, and slippery dips to fuel young explorers' imaginations!

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 their 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.

The Heritage Garden is where you can witness the origin of Singapore and its people, and how their stories are strongly attached to the natural world of flora and fauna. The Indian, Chinese, Malay, and Colonial Gardens are all inspired by the strong roots these communities have in mother nature. From the Banyan tree in the Indian Garden to Pine in the Chinese Garden, Breadfruit tree in Malay Garden, and Rubber and Cocoa in the Colonial Garden- the Heritage Garden will take you on a journey of the history of this modern city- from its position on the ancient Silk Route to the flourishing multicultural society it houses.

The Canyon is an example of masterful landscape architecture. Designed by Jun-ichi Inada, the Canyon boasts of an unparalleled collection of olden rock forms that have their origin in Shandong, China. Set amidst 200 odd species of plants from arid regions, the natural rock formations are nestled against the backdrop of the glass-panelled conservatories. What is also striking about The Canyon are the exceptionally designed sculptures of Huabiao (Chinese Totem), a giant Dragonfly, Marco Drago (metal dragon).
