“A futuristic botanical garden distinguished by its Supertree vertical gardens with solar panels and the Cloud Forest conservatory, which features a 35-meter-high indoor mountain and a tiered waterfall.”
Gardens by the Bay is one of the most famous and largest public parks in Singapore, spanning 101 hectares. It's a marvelous blend of nature, art, and technology, known for its beautiful landscape and unique design.
One of the main highlights is the Supertree Grove, a collection of iconic vertical gardens ranging from 25 to 50 meters in height_. They are covered with a variety of plants, including ferns, orchids, and bromeliads. The Supertrees are not just a breathtaking sight; these structures are also fitted with solar cells, making them both functional and eco-friendly. Visitors can walk on the OCBC Skyway to get a spectacular view from above.
The park also features two award-winning cooled conservatories:
-
The Cloud Forest is a lush, indoor sanctuary that replicates the cool and moist climate of tropical mountains. Visitors can explore the 35-meter-high mountain covered in diverse plant species. The misty atmosphere and tiered waterfall create a truly enchanting and immersive experience.
-
The Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world, home to a collection of plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid regions.
In the evening, don't miss the spectacular Garden Rhapsody light and sound show at the Supertree Grove, a captivating performance set to music.
