Is Gardens by the Bay worth it?
Yes. If it is your first time in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay is one of the few places that feels as dramatic in real life as it does in photos. It is an easy half day that works well with jet lag, kids, grandparents, or anyone who just wants a slow wander with big views. You are not here for deep botany lessons. You are here for cool air, skyline views, and the feeling that you have stepped into a sci-fi movie set.
If you are short on time, you can hit the highlights in two to three hours. With younger kids or if you like to linger for photos and coffee breaks, plan three to four hours and combine it with the Supertree Grove light show after dark.
What to see inside Gardens by the Bay
- Cloud Forest
The most impressive part for most people. You walk into a cool, misty dome with a 35 meter indoor waterfall and a spiral of elevated walkways that wrap around the mountain. It is dramatic, air conditioned, and a nice break from Singapore heat. - Flower Dome
A huge glass greenhouse with rotating seasonal displays. Think creative floral installations, themed sets, and a calmer pace than Cloud Forest. If you like photography or just want somewhere peaceful to wander, it is worth going inside. - Supertree Grove
The iconic metal trees that light up at night during the free Garden Rhapsody show. You can walk around this area without paying for the domes, so it works even if you are on a tighter budget. - OCBC Skyway
A suspended walkway between Supertrees with views over Marina Bay and the gardens. It is a separate ticket and queues can build in the evening. Go just before sunset for the nicest light.
Which ticket should you buy on Klook?
This is where Klook makes things simpler. You do not have to guess at a counter while a line forms behind you. Look for these options when you search Gardens by the Bay on Klook:
- Cloud Forest + Flower Dome combo
The standard ticket most visitors book. It covers both main conservatories in one go and is usually better value than buying each one separately. - Conservatories + OCBC Skyway
A bundle that adds the Skyway. Worth it if you want the full experience and are visiting around sunset or at night. - Timed entry tickets
On busier days, your ticket may come with a time slot. This helps spread crowds, but it also means you should factor in how long it takes to walk from the MRT and through the gardens.
Prices fluctuate with demand and promotions, but you can expect to pay around SGD 28 to 35 per adult for the main conservatories and more if you include the Skyway. Klook often runs sales and stackable promotions, so it is worth checking your dates and testing the code STEPHANDPETE at checkout to see what applies.

Best time to visit Gardens by the Bay
If you want to avoid the worst heat and crowds, aim for late afternoon. A simple route that works well:
- Arrive mid to late afternoon for the domes while it is still light.
- Take your time in Cloud Forest first, then move to Flower Dome.
- Head to the Supertree Grove and, if you have tickets, the OCBC Skyway before sunset.
- Stay for the Garden Rhapsody light show in the evening.
Weekends, school holidays, and public holidays are noticeably busier. If you have flexibility, a weekday visit is gentler. Midday is technically fine because much of your time is indoors, but you will feel the heat walking between areas.
How to get to Gardens by the Bay
The easiest way to get there is by MRT. Take the Downtown Line or Circle Line to Bayfront Station, then follow signs through the underground linkway to Gardens by the Bay. You will come out near Marina Bay Sands and can walk directly into the gardens without needing a taxi.
If you are arriving with kids, a stroller, or luggage, the paths are mostly smooth and stroller friendly. Allow a little extra time for slow walkers or photo stops along the way.

- Wear comfortable shoes You will walk more than you think, including between the MRT, the domes, and the Supertree area.
- Plan snacks and water There are cafes and food options, but having a small snack and water bottle on hand keeps everyone happier while you wander.
