Cool domes The Flower Dome replicates the cool-dry climate of regions like California and South Africa, and boasts more than 32,000 plants comprising some 160 species, cultivars and varieties. Not to be missed is the cool, misty Cloud Forest Dome, with its 35-metre tall “Cloud Mountain”, covered in orchids, ferns and bromeliads and containing a spectacular 30-metre-tall indoor waterfall. Splendid Supertrees You’ll recognise the distinctive Supertrees—25 to 50-metre-tall vertical gardens that collect rainwater, generate solar power and act as venting ducts for the park’s conservatories.

Let’s start big picture here. It's an iconic sight in Singapore thanks to the oft-photographed Supertree Grove and impressive indoor waterfall. In the largest part of the compound, Bay South, you'll find a massive glass greenhouse called the Flower Dome and popular exhibitions like "Tulipmania" and "Orchid Extravaganza." In another part of the conservatory, the Cloud Forest mimics the cool-moist ecology of the tropical highlands. It has a treetop walk and the aforementioned 114-foot waterfall. The green space at Bay East, meanwhile, offers visitors fantastic views of the Singapore skyline. Any standout features or must-sees? Besides the waterfall, must-sees include the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, and the Supertrees, a grove of a dozen tree-like vertical gardens that harvest solar energy and feature nearly 163,000 plants. You can get a unique view of that last one from OCBC Skyway, a 72-foot-high aerial walkway that links two of the SuperTrees. Was it easy to get around? The Gardens are relatively easy to navigate, but huge and sprawling. You'll need a half-day to do it right, and a few hours even if you rush. Complimentary maps are available at the visitor info center. Self-guided trail maps are sold for SGD$1 (about US$0.75) in the gift shop. Wheelchair and stroller rental costs SGD$2 (US$1) per day. Unlimited shuttle service is free for wheelchair users and SGD$3 (US$2.30) for the able-bodied. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? This is a hugely popular tour...
