Gardens By The Bay (GBTB) - Flower Dome
 Bayfront MRT (1.6km/20min walk away)
They provide a shuttle service for a small fee.
The Flower Dome is one half of the other major attraction Cloud Forest. The major difference is that displays here change quite frequently suiting the seasons thus offering an array of seasonal flowers and creative displays. Day and dusk scenes changes the whole look at the place, plus there is a nightly light and music show display at the super trees (Temporarily suspended due Covid19)
18March21 Visit
Sakura Theme (Lacking luster for 2021)


 Dec20 Christmas Themed
Same same but different.

23Aug2020 Visit
Balvarian Theme 
 
16March2020 Sakura Display at the Flower Dome 

A great wet weather program for both domes, and as mentioned, Flower Dome has got frequently changing displays which make repeat visits a relatively new and refreshing experience each time. Cater about 1-2hrs of leisurely exploration. There is a beautiful dining option at Fennel yet to be reviewed within the Flower Dome.

A dash of nostalgia. Uncle selling much loved ice-cream at the park.
*Lots of different sensory and play options, balancing at the adventure park area. All free entry!*
 *Nice to see the long zip line rides*
Well kept park with water cooler points and clean toilets. The variety of wild life is enjoyable and brings that extra life to the park. Loads of open areas for free running and ball games. Thus far Botanic gardens has more wild life roaming the beautifully curated grounds.
Fusion spoon offers simple food fare in a nice location. Nothing Fusion here but a spread of both local, western eats with desserts and pastries. No service charge here and access to the condiment and utensils stations have loads of children friendly cutlery. Great panoramic view and nicely air-conditioned. No service Charge. Only GST.

Chronologically Curated rooms from Various Points in Singapore's History

 Story of The Forest


Nice open spaces with fairly comprehensive write ups on Singapore's history. Loads of multimedia additives to bring the history to life. The Story of the Forest offers a break to Singapore centric history and brings and immersive experience for all.

Eats at Food for Thought thou a little on the pricey side does serve up a good meal and service is excellent. Three mains orders would set you back about 70SGD.

Great views of Sinapore's iconic skyline. The Singapore flyer as well as Marina Bay Sands are well in view. (Click here for Staycation at Marina Bay Sands)
Great accessibility. The lift stops at each floor and starts with bringing you right to the top so you don't have to fret with stair climbs. There are escalators as well which bring you down. 
The location is popular for pre-wedding shoots as well.
Easy to walk with wash rooms and water stations located at most levels. The journey takes you from the mountain top to see the internal geode, to the tree top trails and the under jungle. There's also an immersive educational video presentation at the end which rounds up the entire experience.  

A nice 2hr exploratory journey, with a huge variety of plant species and photo opportunities especially so with its high vantage view point. May try to come during sunset as the place is illuminated.
