singaporecity360° Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay covers 101 hectares of reclaimed land next to Marina Bay, split into the free outdoor Bay South Gardens and the ticketed Cooled Conservatories and Supertree structures.
Should you go?
Walking in costs nothing. Supertree Grove, the Serene Garden, Heritage Gardens, World of Plants, Kingfisher Wetlands, Dragonfly Lake and Bay East Garden are all open with no ticket, and the nightly Garden Rhapsody light show at Supertree Grove is free — the Gardens say so outright. You pay only to go inside the glass conservatories, into Floral Fantasy, or up onto the OCBC Skyway and Supertree Observatory.
Outdoor gardens (free) 5am–midnight · Flower Dome 9am–9pm · Cloud Forest 9am–9pm · Floral Fantasy 10am–9pm · OCBC Skyway and Supertree Observatory 9am–9pm

The real reason to book ahead is not the queue — it is that each attraction shuts one day a month for maintenance and you want to know your date is not the one. Note the Gardens run two separate storefronts, one for tourists and one for residents.
last entry 8.30pm / 8pm / 8.30pm / 8.30pm
There is no tourist ticket for Flower Dome or Cloud Forest on their own. A tourist wanting one dome must buy the two-dome combination at S$46; a Singapore resident can buy Flower Dome alone for S$12. If you see "Flower Dome S$46 adult" anywhere, that is the combo price mislabelled.
The OCBC Skyway closes in poor weather as well as on maintenance days — it is the one attraction here that can be shut on arrival with no notice.
The outdoor gardens — including Supertree Grove, which lights up nightly for the free Garden Rhapsody show — are open 5am to 2am at no charge, while the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest and OCBC Skyway need a ticket and close earlier, around 9pm with last entry at 8pm.
The Flower Dome swaps its floral displays several times a year around festivals, so the flowers on show change even if the dome itself doesn't. It's directly across the water from Marina Bay Sands and reachable on foot via the waterfront promenade.
The Garden Rhapsody light show at Supertree Grove runs free every night and needs no ticket — arrive 15 minutes before showtime for a spot on the lawn, since the paved viewing area under the trees fills up fastest.
On right now, and what each ticket costs
There is no single all-in Gardens ticket. Each conservatory and walkway is priced on its own, with combinations sold at a discount. Flip the stubs to your rate; every price includes the resident lines most sites leave out.
The Gardens' own term. It has its own storefront and a shorter product list than the resident one — no senior rate, and no single-conservatory ticket.
Residents only. At S$12 for an adult this is the best-value ticket on the site — and it is not sold to tourists at any price.
Residents only, like Flower Dome — tourists cannot buy a single-dome ticket.
Floral Fantasy is currently branded as the Disney Garden of Wonder, with floral sets featuring Disney and Pixar characters. The resident adult rate is exactly half the tourist one. Tripods and camera stands are banned to keep the crowd moving.
Closes in poor weather as well as for maintenance.
About the height of a 16-storey building. Same adult price as the Skyway, but cheaper for a resident child or senior at S$6 — the cheapest ticketed thing here for a local family.
Both cooled conservatories on one ticket, and the only route into either for a tourist. The Jurassic World animatronics inside Cloud Forest are included at no extra cost.
The everything-indoors ticket, and the only product currently discounted off a struck-through price — the tourist adult was S$73, now S$58. No end date is published for the promotion.

What you should be paying
Ticket resellers earn a commission on what they sell you. We sell nothing, so here is the operator's own price — compare before you buy.
S$46
for Flower Dome + Cloud Forest, straight from the operator's own price table.
Anything above S$46 is a markup. A reseller can be genuinely cheaper — some run below the gate price to win the booking — but you now know which side of the line you are on. Check the total at checkout, not the headline.
See it on the operator's own page →S$12
26% off Flower Dome + Cloud Forest: S$34 instead of S$46, on every adult ticket.
This is wider than most people think. Gardens by the Bay's own wording: Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and those living in Singapore including Employment Pass, Work Permit and Dependant Pass holders. Proof may be asked for when buying or at the gate, and without it you have to upgrade. The saving is large and uneven: an adult pays S$34 instead of S$46 for the two domes, and a resident can buy Flower Dome on its own for S$12 — a product a tourist cannot buy at any price.
S$23/hr
S$46 for Flower Dome + Cloud Forest over about 2 hours, or S$17/hr at the resident rate. The Gardens' own recommended duration is two hours. The duration is our estimate, not the operator's.
Rain, heat, and what to do about it
Live readings and forecasts from NEA. Four days is the limit — past that, nobody is forecasting, they are showing you an average.
Southwest Monsoon
June to September
Short, sharp early-morning showers and occasional squall lines. Drier overall than the northeast wet phase.
The other good window. Rain tends to arrive early and clear, leaving usable afternoons. This is also when haze can occur, which is worth checking rather than assuming.
