An evening at Gardens by the Bay
An afternoon in the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest, then the light-and-music show among the Supertrees. Singapore's finest evening.

The experience
The visit begins in the afternoon in the Flower Dome, listed by Guinness World Records in 2015 as the largest glass greenhouse in the world, where flower displays change with the seasons and olive and baobab trees grow in a mild climate.
Next is the Cloud Forest, with a 42-metre indoor mountain covered in tropical highland plants and a waterfall falling 35 metres. A lift takes you to the top, and you walk down aerial paths around the mountain through cool mist.
At sunset you walk to the Supertree Grove, 18 trees up to 50 metres tall. You can go up to the walkway between two of them before dark.
At 7:45 pm the Garden Rhapsody show begins, lighting the trees to music while visitors sit on the ground to watch, free of charge. We choose a halal dinner nearby afterwards.
