Information about Gardens by the Bay
- It’s a recreational and nature park located on the waterfront
- Theres 250 acres of gardens, plants, and two indoor conservatories
- It’s in Singapore …
- It was designed to give Singapore the feeling of being a “City in a Garden,” instead of a “Garden in a City”
- It opened in June 2012
- In 2006 an international design contest was held for designers to compete for the layout/design of the public gardens. Out of 70 entries, Singapore held 21% of entries and in total 24 countries entered
- There were joint winners: two teams – one based in Bath, England and a design practice from London
- It is amazing
- It’s not that expensive — $28
- There is a free lightship called Garden Rhapsody at 7:45pm and 8:45pm in the super trees and its awesome too
If you go to Singapore and miss the Gardens by the Bay — you’re doing it wrong. This was a huge highlight for me and I highly recommend seeing it!
