Gardens by the bay

Ranked among the Top 10 Indoor Gardens in the world, Gardens by the Bay is a spectacular oasis in the heart of Singapore, home to over one million plants across 5,000 species. This breathtaking attraction invites visitors to explore nature on a grand scale, blending innovative design with lush biodiversity.

Step into the Cloud Forest, where a 35-metre indoor waterfall—the tallest of its kind—cascades through misty air, surrounded by elevated walkways that take you above the treetops. Nearby, the Flower Dome, certified by Guinness World Records as the World’s Largest Glass Greenhouse, replicates the cool, dry climates of the Mediterranean and showcases rare and exotic plants from five continents across nine themed gardens.

At sunset, marvel as the Supertree Grove comes alive with lights and sound in the enchanting Garden Rhapsody show.

The Merlion

Singapore’s most iconic symbol, is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish.
