Gardens by the Bay tickets: the domes, the Skyway and the free Supertree light show

💡 The Short Version: The Supertree Grove, the outdoor gardens and the Garden Rhapsody light show (19:45 and 20:45 nightly) are completely free. You pay only for the glasshouse conservatories and elevated walkways: the Flower Dome plus Cloud Forest combined ticket is S$46 for an adult (S$32 for children aged 3 to 12), and the OCBC Skyway is S$14. Each paid attraction shuts for one full day every month for maintenance, so check the schedule before booking. Or book a tour: when you want direct mobile entry with flexible cancellation or an evening pairing with the river cruise, the Gardens by the Bay Admission E-Ticketad (from S$10, 4.4 stars from 3,947 reviews) gives instant barcode access.

⚠️ Each conservatory closes for one whole day a month. The next scheduled maintenance closures are the Flower Dome on 16 November 2026 and the Cloud Forest on 17 November 2026. Maintenance is staggered across different days, so the other conservatory is open when one is shut.

What is free and what requires a ticket

The 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay estate divides strictly into free public parkland and ticketed attractions. The outdoor grounds—including the Supertree Grove, Heritage Gardens (Indian, Chinese, Malay, and Colonial thematic gardens), the World of Plants, Dragonfly Lake, and Kingfisher Lake—are open free of charge daily from 05:00 to 02:00 without booking.

Garden Rhapsody, the signature light and music choreography created by lighting designer Adrian Tan and composer Philip Tan, runs twice nightly at the Supertree Grove at 19:45 and 20:45 (Gardens by the Bay Garden Rhapsody). Each 15-minute performance illuminates the 12 central vertical gardens with colour sequences synchronized to orchestral scores. You can sit on the lawn or benches directly under the canopies for nothing. During the annual Christmas Wonderland event (late November to early January), general visitors view the show from the perimeter pathways around the World of Plants, while ticketed event-goers access the central grove.

Inside the conservatories

• The Flower Dome: Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest glass greenhouse, spanning 1.2 hectares under a pillarless steel grid shell. It houses nine distinct display gardens representing Mediterranean and semi-arid regions: Australia, South Africa, South America, California, the Mediterranean Basin, and an olive grove with specimens over 1,000 years old. Central changing flower field displays rotate seasonally (such as Dahlia Dreams during Lunar New Year and Poinsettia Wishes in winter).
• The Cloud Forest: Encloses a 35-metre-tall vegetated mountain structure draped in tropical highland epiphytes, orchids, pitcher plants, and ferns. Visitors take an elevator to the summit to walk down the Cloud Walk and Treetop Walk cantilevered paths. At the entrance, the indoor waterfall drops 35 metres through misting fans that operate on two-hour cycles (10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00, and 20:00).
• Floral Fantasy: Situated at the Bayfront Plaza entrance, this 1,500-square-metre pavilion presents four artistic floral concepts—Dance, Float, Waltz, and Drift—featuring more than 15,000 hanging cut blooms, cascading fuchsias, and a 4D theatre experience (Flight of the Dragonfly).
• OCBC Skyway: Suspended 22 metres in the air between two 50-metre Supertrees, this 128-metre narrow bridge gives panoramic vistas across Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Strait. Capacity is restricted to 70 visitors at a time; during thunderstorms and lightning warnings, access shuts immediately for electrical safety.
