In brief

Gardens by the Bay (Singapore) in brief

  • 1

    A park in two parts

    The outdoor gardens and the Supertree Grove are free. The two climate-controlled domes are paid: that's where you'll see the most impressive sights.

  • 2

    Garden Rhapsody, free every evening

    The Supertrees sound and light show runs twice a night, usually at 7:45pm and 8:45pm. Settle on the lawn.

  • 3

    Aim for the cool morning or late afternoon

    The outdoor gardens bake under the midday sun. The domes stay pleasant thanks to air conditioning.

  • 4

    Combine the two domes

    The Flower Dome plus Cloud Forest combo ticket is far cheaper than buying them separately. Count about 53 S$.

  • 5

    Bring good shoes

    The park is vast. Between the OCBC Skyway, the domes and the Grove, you'll walk several kilometers.
