Gardens by the Bay

The Gardens by the Bay is Singapore’s number one tourist attraction. It is Singapore’s “premier urban outdoor recreation space, and a national icon” – Singapore’s pride and joy, and a haven for lovers of gardens, plants, flowers and nature.

The nature park spans 101 hectares (250 acres) of reclaimed land in the Central region of Singapore. “It is part of the nation’s plans to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city”.

“Comprising of three waterfront gardens, Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden, the Gardens by the bay is a showcase of horticulture and garden artistry that will bring the world of plants to Singapore and present Singapore to the world.”

One has to visit the Gardens by the Bay to appreciate the amount of work that had gone into the planning, the attractions, and the maintenance of the place.

Entry to the Gardens is free. But to visit the attractions in the gardens like the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, Floral Fantasy, OCBC Skyway and the Supertree Observatory – these require admission tickets which you can buy at the ticket counter or online. You can, at the same time, check the days when the attractions are closed for maintenance.

If you are visiting the Gardens for the first time, I would suggest you go for the whole package. Spend at least half a day at the Gardens – if you have the time.

The Gardens by the Bay was voted the 8th best attraction in the World according to Tripadvisor travellers’ choice of 2024.

These are Super trees. They are an iconic feature of the Gardens by the bay. There are 18 of them, and each is about 50 meters tall. They are covered in plants, and each tree is itself a vertical garden with more than 200 species of plants and flowers.
