Gardens by the Bay: Flower Dome and Cloud Forest Admission

Gardens by the Bay’s two conservatories are among the largest glasshouses in the world, and both are kept cool and dry inside, a welcome break from the equatorial heat. The Flower Dome recreates the mild climates of the Mediterranean and other dry regions, with olive trees hundreds of years old, baobabs, succulents and a central field of flowers whose theme changes through the year.

Next door, the Cloud Forest is built around a man-made mountain wrapped in orchids, ferns and pitcher plants, with a waterfall plunging down its side. Take the lift to the top and walk down on aerial walkways that loop through the mist. Before or after, stroll among the Supertrees in the outdoor gardens, which are free to visit.
