Beautiful pictures! What are the fees like and what are the charges for car park?


The whole compound is covered isn't it, so we could go as and when regardless rain or shine?

For entry to open compound, Its free. For entry to dome, it's not free.

Went there on the first day of opening.


Very convenient to take MRT. Just alight at BayFront station, out from Exit B, and once you come up with a short walk, the lake is right in front with the view of the super trees! Just cross the bridge and there you are at the garden.

Nice garden with plenty to explore, but did not go to the 2 conservatories cos Q is very long, will come back next time - and to check out the F & B there too.

Do remember to bring along camera as there are many places for photo opportunity.

One point to note is that the ladies toilet near the Chinese/Malay garden has only 2 cubicles inside, unless you go down to the one at the Super tree area.

Overall a nice place for family to relax and spent time at.

Go on a weekday to avoid the crowd. Kids can go crazy with their bikes and scooters. Big space to roam ! Bring your own picnic basket :rahrah:


Kids will enjoy the day, but couples will want to romance under the moonlight :please:

Hi mummy of three! Pricing details are here:

Gardens by the Bay will be kick-starting a series of Kids Guided Conservatories Tours this September holidays for children aged 4-9 years.

Kids at the Conservatories is a series of guided conservatories tours specially curated for children between the ages of 4-9. Each tour is followed by an interactive activity that reinforces important lessons learnt during the tour.

Check out the following tours.

Tour 1: Talented Plants
What gives us the basic things we need to live, like oxygen, food and shelter? Plants of course! On this guided tour, children will explore the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest and learn how useful and important plants are to all living things. After the tour, children will try their hand at making something creative out of recycled materials.

Please bring along a clean, used 500ml (or less) plastic bottle for the craft activity.

Suitable for: 4 - 6 years olds

Tour 2: How Clever...
How would you survive a bush fire or being stuck for months without rain or water for miles? How can you protect yourself from being eaten by thirsty animals? On this guided tour, children will meet some very clever plants, and learn how they have adapted to thrive in harsh conditions. After the tour, children will try their hand at making something creative out of recycled materials.

Please bring along a clean, used 500ml (or less) plastic bottle for the craft activity.

Suitable for: 7 - 9 years olds


Dates: 1, 2, 4 & 6 September 2012

Time: 10.30am & 2.00pm

Duration: 1.5 hours

Hi tree hugger,

Just to check, will we be able to roam around in the conservatories after the programme?

[Imami]

Hi all, for those of you who have been there, just to check is it hot?


I hope to hang around for two hrs or more, if need be. Hence, am I wondering if I shd go in the late afternoon and stretch into the night or go early early the morning?

I will go in the late afternoon and drag into the evening for viewing the night scene and light up.

ok thanks! Do you picnic there (for the dinner) or do you have your dinner at one of the eating places inside?

Anyone been to the gardens on a weekday? Is it crowded? Went on a weekend and it was super crowded. Want to visit again but am thinking that going on a weekday may be less crowded.
