Singapore Trip : Gardens By The Bay - Flower Dome

Flower Dome
Gardens By The Bay, Singapore
November 1, 2016

Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world. It's 1.2 hectares. When I was here, it's like spirng in November. Beautiful flowers were everywhere. Exotic plants - flowers and trees, from five continents were displayed in nine different Gardens. The temperature was very nice at 23ºC - 25ºC

Those who love flowers and flower photography, Flower Dome ia a must visit. Once is never enough as they change the floral display for different seasons and festivals.

Below are some photos taken in Flower Dome.

Singapore Trip : Gardens By The Bay - Cloud Forest

Cloud Forest, Gardens By The Bay
Singapore, November 1, 2016

Gardens By The Bay Singapore is a great place to visit. I should say that it is a must-visit attraction for tourists while in Singapore. Information about these gardens is very well explained in the gardensbythebay website. But some say, seeing is believing, so you've got to be here to see yourself how wonderful these gardens are, and be one of 40 million visitors to date.

There are 2 conservatories in Gardens By The Bay, namely Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. Other attractions are Supertree Groove, OCBC Skyway, Bay East Garden, Dragonfly and Kingfisher Lakes, Heritage Gardens, World of Plants, Sun Pavilion, and many more. These gardens were beautifully designed for displaying more than 1 million plants. There are some restraurants, cafe, and souvenir shops, too.

Standard Rate - Two Conservatories
Adult/Senior: $28
Child (3-12 years old): $15

When is the best time to visit ? Everyday ... Everytime from 9 am to 9 pm ... morning, noon, afternoon, even in the evening ... you will enjoy different experiences.

I will show you some pictures taken in Cloud Forest, and in the next posting pictures in Flower Dome.

The Cloud Forest Dome has an ideal temperature for plants and visitors too. Indoor temperature range is 23°C to 25°C.

I was amazed by the world's tallest indoor waterfall at 35 meters.

Then I walked and explored some tropical plants, ferns, and flowers such as orchids, fuchias, and many more. They were very pretty in shapes and colours.

Just walked through the Cloud Walk and Treetop Walk to enjoy the surreal mist. Mist Timings are at 10.00am, 12.00pm, 2.00pm, 4.00pm, 6.00pm, 8.00pm daily. Don't miss it.
