Gardens By The Bay
The Gardens by the Bay is, without a doubt, Singapore’s number one tourist attraction, as well as a favourite of the locals. A nature park spanning 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”.
The Gardens by the Bay was voted the 8th best attraction in the World according to Tripadvisor travellers’ choice of 2024. 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.
If you are visiting the Gardens for the first time, I would suggest you go for the whole package. Spend a leisurely day at the Gardens – if you have the time.
Work in the number one tourist attraction in Singapore is always in progress. As such, there are always new additions to the garden, a new event, a new display, or something you hadn’t paid attention to in previous visits. In this way, they encourage visitors to return.
Here are some photos of the Gardens by the Bay surroundings, and some of the floral plants.
