When Gardens By The Bay first opened in Singapore, it took me a while and some friends to get me there, after all, being a world traveler, what could Singapore offer in terms of nature? When I finally went, I was impressed at the extent and effort done to make Singapore a beautiful and vibrant city to be in, not only with fabulous shopping, limitless dining experiences, and now, nature to enjoy in the comfort of air-conditioning. Of course this does not come free. A visit to the Gardens By The Bay comes at price of $28. If you intend to visit more than once, i.e. perhaps 4 or 5 times a year, then the annual pass is a definite must.
The nearest MRT to Gardens By The Bay is Bayfront, choose to walk through the underpass right to the open gardens, or via Marina Bay Sands (exiting by the side of ArtScience Museum) and walk around the back that will bring you straight to the conservatories. The best time to go is around 4pm when it is less hot, and stay to watch the misting at the Cloud Forest.
Begin with the OCBC Skyway, which is a tree top walk giving you a beautiful view of the park, followed with Flower Dome where you get to see flowers from every region. End the trip with the Cloud Forest, as you see day turn to dusk, where the Cloud Forest will begin to look all mysterious. I spend usually around 3 hours at Gardens By The Bay, enjoying the view of the flowers, and breathing in nature.
