Gardens By The Bay Tickets

You will remain wonderstruck as to how the vegetation in this garden looks so natural. It has two spectacular conservatories namely the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.

The entire nature park is spread across 250acres of land which has been reclaimed.

They have an amazing cooling system installed on the roof. The Supertrees along with the Skyline and the light show are the main attractions here. They are large and tall vertical trees from which lights emanate in the evenings. They are as tall as 16 storied buildings. They also provide the best shade from the extreme heat.

The Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse, shaped like an oversized seashell, having a variety of flowers from South America, South Africa, and the Mediterranean regions.
