How anyone could walk out of this magnificent creation and not be amazed is beyond me. It's absolutely incredible. You get to explore three astounding waterfront gardens with plant species from 5 different continents over 250 acres. There are plants so rare you have to travel to specific parts of third world countries if you ever want to catch a glimpse - unless you're here.
You can see the ginormous conservatories from MBS and the freeway. If you didn't know you'd think they were large offices or rather unique apartments because Singapore is all about unique. The real gem of it all are the Bay South Gardens, comprised of two conservatories: the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.
The Flower Dome was absolutely amazing, beautiful and striking in every way. The colors of the rainbow splash throughout the entire dome. It's almost overwhelming how many plants are being grown here. I believe there are 8 different gardens featured here, my personal favorite being the Succulents. The Cloud Forest was just as impressive. The ginormous Cloud Mountains stands at 138 feet, and it's just spectacular to admire. You have to take a picture by the waterfall to complete the experience, and walk to the top of the mountain!
Lastly I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the Supergrove trees, especially at night.
Every evening there is a light show for the Gardens by the Bay that is definitely worth watching. You can see the light show from the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel Balcony either paying $20 for a cover charge or simply buying a drink.
There is a lot to explore but my favorite part of the garden was what a call the bio dome of plants. Essentially within a controlled sheltered environment nearly flora represented from every country was flourishing! Further, on the hot day the bio dome was actually cold! The engineering of the bio dome allows for cool air not manufactured by some giant A/C! Pretty darn green friendly...
This is destination is a must but be prepared it gets hot in the day.
There are so many places to take a date here as well...oh if only...nice....
The entire park is an absolute gem. I truly believe this is one of the most beautiful, if not the most, creations by man. The design, the work, the brain behind the concept is an intricate example of visions of grandeur accomplished. It is a must visit for tourists in Singapore!!!
