About Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay is a 101-hectare botanical park in Singapore. If you are a fan of horticulture, you can’t miss the chance to visit this incredible place. The Gardens by the Bay is made up of three separate gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden, and Bay Central Garden, all of which extend along Singapore’s waterfront. In addition to an enormous collection of plants, the gardens hold many unique futuristic structures, including sculptures, Supertrees, flower domes, an elevated walkway, and so much more! 

The Gardens by the Bay were conceptualized in 2006 as part of an effort to redefine Singapore as Garden City and create an exceptional quality of life for residents. Construction of the first garden, Bay East, began in 2007, and it opened to the public in 2011. The Bay South and Bay Central gardens followed, and all three are continuing to expand and improve.

These days, Gardens By the Bay are one of the biggest attractions in Singapore and welcome millions of visitors each year.
