Gardens By The Bay Singapore Highlights


1Gardens by the Bay Light Show

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

Gardens By The Bay Light Show Timings: Daily at 7:45 pm & 8:45 pm
Where: Supertree Grove

2Flower Dome Singapore

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

3Cloud Forest

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

4The Supertree Grove

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

5OCBC Skway

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

6Gardens by the Bay - Waterplay

7Dragonfly & Kingfisher Lake

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

8Heritage Garden

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

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.

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.

9The Canyon

Gardens by the Bay Highlights

The Canyon is an example of masterful landscape architecture.

Set amidst 200 odd species of plants from arid regions, the natural rock formations are nestled against the backdrop of the glass-panelled conservatories.

Gardens By The Bay Architect


Grant Associates and Wilkinson Eyre Architects are the teams behind bringing together a cool dry biome, a cool moist biome, horticulture and heritage gardens, and flora from around the world to a 250 acres bay. How, is a question asked by many. It cost Singapore S$1 Billion to build Gardens By The Bay and took 5 years to complete. The Supertrees have important functions to them thaN just being massive modern-day wonders. All the attractions have functional aspects. For example, one supertree acts as an air exhaust for the two conservatories, while 11 of them harvest solar energy.

Fun Fact: The team also brought an olive tree from the Mediterranean, estimated to be over 1000 years old? IT successfully blossomed and subsequently fruited!
