Gardens By the Bay

Gardens By The Bay offers a variety of attractions. This includes a cloud forest, sky observatory, skywalk, and floral fantasy. If you wish to be inspired by the views. You could easily spend the entire day here if you love the natural splendour.

A futuristic park located near Marina Bay. It covers 101 hectares and is one of Singapore's top tourist attractions. Noted for its innovative design, beautiful sceneries, and combination of nature and technology.

It cost 1 billion Singapore dollars to build. For the locals and tourists, this is money well spent. I was truly stunned by the incredible scenery in person, something I had never seen before!

MRT Station

You may easily arrive here. By taking the MRT to the 'Bayfront' stop. While several signs direct you to the ticket office. Here you can visit the attractions through your online purchases or buy at the counter for these breathtaking attractions at the Bay.

OCBC SKYWALK at Gardens By The Bay

Our first destination was the Skywalk, located inside the Supertree Groves. The Supertree is free to explore and well worth a visit. Furthermore, during the night when the light show takes place. Although, if you wish to tour the Skywalk bridges, you'll need a ticket. Be mindful to check the weather before visiting. As the Skywalk can sometimes be suspended.

Therefore, try and attempt to visit on a dry day. First thing in the morning, or late at night.

When you ascend the lifts, you will arrive at a 22m-high promenade. Allowing you to roam around the gardens and enjoy the spectacular scenery from above. They only allow a limited number of visitors and give you about 15 minutes to wander around. Plenty of time to catch the garden's breathtaking panoramic views.

Cloud Forest at Gardens By The Bay

Words cannot describe how incredible Cloud Forest was. As soon as you step in you hear the relaxing waterfall pouring down from a height. If you're just coming out from a heatwave, stepping here will feel so nice. As it's at a chilled level of around 23 degrees. The trees are maintained at optimal temperatures.

When you wander around, you'll see a variety of exotic plants, including orchids, ferns, and pitcher plant beds. The journey begins with a quick lift ride to the summit of the mountain.

The conservatory has different levels, including the Cloud Walk and Treetop Walk. Allowing you to examine rare plants, while also learning about sustainability. I highly recommend starting at the top since you get a beautiful view and can take lovely shots when it's quiet before making your way down.

Orchid Haven leads you to a collection of unusual, vibrant plants. This is a dedicated location that displays a wide range of orchid species from throughout the world.

It pays honour to Singapore's national flower, the orchid, and emphasises the beauty and diversity of these magnificent plants.

Cloud Walk

The Cloudwalk is accessible via the Lost World. This is where you walk around Cloud Mountain. Viewing the mountain from a different perspective gives you breathtaking views. That gradually fades as it bends around to the bottom. The view from here is spectacular, with Marina Bay, the Supertrees, and the remainder of the Gardens by the Bay.

As you descend, you'll come upon the Cloud Forest Gallery, an interactive show beneath Crystal Mountain.

The treetop walk provides a great outlook. As you pass through a tunnel of lush jungle plants and into a canopy walk. Wander through the tops of the tall palm trees. Enjoying a great bird's-eye view of the treetops. The Cloud Forest Theatre is located one floor lower. It contains a short film on a projector about how we, as individuals, should help protect nature to create a more sustainable world and future.

Floral Fantasy at Gardens By The Bay

Floral Fantasy is a themed attraction at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. It provides guests with an immersive, multi-sensory flower experience. When you visit the attraction, it will feel like a floral paradise. You have plants all around you, including a dancing one hanging from the ceiling.

Here you can witness some breathtaking floral art sculptures, some in life-size form. Also, an option to experience a 4D ride, but it does require an extra ticket to be purchased. At the moment, at Floral Fantasy, you can witness a Disney garden-themed until the end of March 2025.

However, when I visited in October, things were different than they are now. Fans of Disney will enjoy the fantastic Disney characters.

The third segment of Floral Fantasy is set in a cave-like environment with more exotic plants such as ferns, mosses, and orchids. The lighting and layout create the atmosphere of a lovely hidden retreat. We also noticed a wedding shoot taking place, which is fitting given the magnificent setting.
