Hotels near Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay is a 101-hectare horticultural park opened in 2012 that contains the visual symbol of contemporary Singapore - 18 Supertrees, vertical gardens 25-50 metres tall combining tropical plants with solar-collecting structures. The garden was conceived as part of Singapore's City in a Garden strategy and combines outdoor heritage gardens with two enormous climate-controlled conservatories: the Flower Dome (Mediterranean and arid plants) and Cloud Forest (tropical mountain mist with a 35-metre indoor waterfall).

The free Supertree Grove with its OCBC Skyway (S$10 to walk the 128-metre aerial bridge between Supertrees) hosts the free Garden Rhapsody light show nightly at 19:45 and 20:45. The 2 conservatories cost S$32 combined adult; Cloud Forest features the Avatar Experience zone since 2024. Allow 4 hours for both conservatories plus Supertrees. Open daily; conservatories 09:00-21:00.

Pro Tip: Position yourself directly under the central Supertree at 19:40 for the Garden Rhapsody light show - the music and choreography are synchronised, and the centre point is the best free Singapore evening experience. Bring a portable mat to sit on the lawn.
