- brainy_bananaPreston, United Kingdom124 contributionsSuper high walk among the SupertreesA very short walk amongst the supertrees. It cost about $12 which was reasonable. There is a lift up at one end, walk along suspension bridge for no more than 15min and lift back down the other end. There were great views of the gardens.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 October 2023
- Liveyourdream_asiaSingapore, Singapore2,194 contributionsPerfect photo & video spotThe highlight of Gardens by the Bay, this bridge offers a spectacular view of the garden and Marina Bay Sands. Ideal for captivating photos and videos, I recommend visiting around sunset (from 5 pm) for a more pleasant temperature and a chance to catch the sunset. It's a true gem in this scenic location.Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 16 November 2023
- WanderlustaustraliaSydney, Australia209 contributionsA bit priceyThis experience is a bit pricey. Also, when we arrived, we were told because it had started drizzling, we may be asked to exit immediately with no refund guaranteed. Not very welcoming or friendly. They talk about safety, yet there were kids doing handstands and cartwheels on the skyway, with no staff to keep an eye on that.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 January 2024
- MrMrsHappyRLiverpool, United Kingdom1,458 contributionsSpectacularSpectacular views of the city and the Gardens By The Way. It is better to book in advance, less queues. For good photos of the city, this gives better unobstructed views of the city than the Supertree GroveVisited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 February 2024
- WikumjRedhill, United Kingdom402 contributionsMust do at Gardens by the BayOne of the best things to do at Gardens By the Bay - you get excellent views of the Supertrees and the Marina bay sands area. We had heard this was better than actually going up the Supertree observatory. Go at sunset for the best lighting and for when the lights come on the supertrees (though there was a bit of a queue, but it did move quickly). There's also a short light show in the evening and did seem possible to enjoy the show from the walkway.Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 June 2024
- TJeinsteinwoodDeal, United Kingdom1,028 contributionsWell worth it if you are confident with heightsWe loved this! We went to Gardens by the Bay in the middle of the afternoon and there weren't too many people there. We booked our tickets for the Skyway online so we didn't have to wait in the ticketing queue. Since it was quiet we went straight into the lift and up to the skyway. You do need to be comfortable with heights and since it is suspended the walkway does move a little. The view is brilliant and it's great to be up high and see the supertrees and the surrounding views. 15 mins is enough up here but it was a great experience.Hi there! Thanks for your kind review. We're glad you enjoyed the views from OCBC Skyway.

The views of the garden and the supertrees are beautiful. Supertrees look even more beautiful in the night when they light up.
As only limited number of people can go on the skyway at a time you get a queuing slot along with the ticket. On the skyway the coordinators keep asking you to move forward as the bridge needs to be empty before next group of people come in. It took around 10-15 minutes for us to cross the skyway along with taking few pictures.

Quiet scary if you are scared of heights. However the view is incredible. Especially at night! Worth the extra SGD8. However, If spent too long here, you will be asked to walk quickly. This is because there are ALOT of other people who wants to get up as well and they cant come upstairs until you come down due to weight limit of the bridge.

Having visited Marina Bay Sands , we walked along to Gardens by the Bay . Unfortunately we did not have a great deal of time to visit all the domes , but it had been suggested by a colleague to use the Skyway . Admission was S$8 each and the walk was excellent to view the trees and surrounding areas.

It is located by the Gardens by the Bay. I would go early or late evening to climb and walk along the walkways. It can get very hot and crowded. There is a charge but it is worth it. Not advisable for people who do not likes heights. There is a lift to take people to the viewing area.
It is part of the experience of visiting Garden by the Bay. If possible I would suggest see one of the light shows in the evening which is free. The colour of the lights changes across the structures. A 'SON ET LUMIERE' experience.
A must see attraction for a great view of the Gardens and Sands Hotel.

Took a while to find the Skyway, even with signposts, but I eventually found it, and it was worth the effort. Smaller than I thought...the whole Skyway can be done in 10-15mins. The views of not just Singapore but Singapore harbor were stunning. I was here when the Skyway first opened for the day so it was quiet, but I can imagine later in the day it may be busy; then again the view as the sun goes down and Singapore turns on its lights must be spectacular.

Have never been up the skyway since it open. Finally decide to take advantage of discounts to go up. The price, even for a local is not cheap actually. There were a number of people in the queue for the only lift to go up the skyway. The staircase was cordon off. So have to wait for about 10 mins, and to pack into the lift. The view is good but not high as the view are obstructed here and there by the cables. The distance is a short walk to the exit point and rather crowded at a narrow section. Getting down is a hassle as you still have to wait for the lift, with the staircase also cordon off....unless you ignore the barrier and just walk down. Note: as of the time of this review, the highest point at the Garden is the SUPERTREE OBSERVATORY, which has just been opened. It offer unobstructed views and is recommended if it's the views you are after.

OCBC Skyway is a 128m-long aerial walkway that is suspended between two Supertrees at 22 metres above ground and it offers close-up views of the 12 vertical gardens at Supertree Grove. We did the walk during the night and it was absolutely beautiful. They usually give you about 15 min on the Skyway but I think it is enough to see everything you want and take lots of beautiful photos. There is a spectacular light and sound show at 7:45pm and 8:45pm every night so you can time it so that you are on the Skyway during the show. If you do not time it perfectly, it is still absolutely beautiful on the ground. Make sure you buy the tickets online during the day so you do not miss out on doing the walk. We had to wait in line for almost 30 min and we were lucky that we got tickets before they stopped online purchases. Highly recommend visiting OCBC Skyway while in Singapore.

We are tourists staying in Singapore for a few days. Upon my friends' recommendation, we purchase combo tickets including the Skyway, Flower Dome, and Cloud Forest.Â
We arrived at the Skyway at about 7:20 pm. The female staff at the line directed us to the ticket booth to get a time slot for admission. (We already have tickets.) We went to the ticket booth, a female staff standing outside the booth was giving out the small card with a time on it. (At that point, it was a 7:40 pm admission card.) When it came to my turn, the female staff very kindly reminded me that the last admission to the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest was at 8 pm. When I asked if I can get a time admission card later than 7:40 pm, she told me that they "don't do advance." But she also told me that I could come back later after visiting the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.Â
However, when we came back after visiting the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest (at about 8:25 pm), the ticket booth was closed. I talked to the staff at the line, but it went nowhere. There was another couple facing exactly the same problem. I asked to talk to a manager. The male manager insisted that for safety reasons he couldn't allow us to go up. (This I understand.) I told him that I followed their staff's instructions, only to be turned away. He apologized for his staff's operational error, but insisted that he couldn't let us up. I asked for a refund, but he said that I can only ask for a refund through the agent.Â
I cannot accept the fact that he is willing to apologize for his staff's operational error, but pushed the responsibility for a refund to the agent through which I book the ticket. (What will the agent say? Oh, sorry, it's the problem of Skyway, not us.)
In the end, he offered to allow us (another the other couple) to go up on condition that (1) all the guests who have an 8:40 pm ticket have gone up first, (2) the line is gone before 9 pm, which is the endpoint of their operational hour, and (3) we can only stay up there for 5 minutes. Otherwise, we have to come back the following day. I reiterated to him multiple that we are tourists and our flight was actually the following day. He simply insisted that there was nothing else he could do.
To the supervisor/manager of Skyway:Â
From the conversations of this manager on-site and the other staff members, we (me and another couple) were not the only ones encountering this problem. The female staff at the line told the male manager that there were "a few other cases" like us.Â
We left at about 9:05 pm after the light show. There was still a line and people are still going up. (Didn't the male manager on-site said that the operational hour ends at 9 pm??)

Certainly a great opportunity to experience the view from above walking along the Skyway. If you want to watch the show however, you actually get a better view from the ground looking up.
What i wasn't impressed with was the booking. I arrived at 4pm and wanted to book for 7pm due to dinner reservations but was told i needed to come back to book for that time slot, it was the only way. But i then noticed people were arriving with tickets that they had purchased online somehow, but again i was told at the ticket booth it was the only way to book by coming back. I was super annoyed tourists shouldn't be made to run back and forth it was ridiculous, get it sorted people.

Ciao, volevo sapere se è possibile salire sull'OCBC Skyway durante il Light show e se la fascia oraria di salita sulla passerella può essere prenotata in anticipo (arrivo al mattino e prenoto per salire alle 19.40) oppure mi metto in coda e mi danno la prima fascia oraria disponibile.
Written 12 January 2020
Ciao! si, si può salire durante i light show perché mentre io ero giù a vedere lo spettacolo c'era coda per salire e gente che passeggiava sull'OCBC. Per ciò che riguarda la prenotazione però non saprei... Ma vista la coda che c'era credo di no!

Hi. I have some questions about gardens by the bay complex.
I'm wandering if I can purchase ticket only for CLOUD FOREST. If yes, how much is the ticket?
Moreover, about OCBC skyway, is forbidden to walk on in the night during the lights show? what is the closure-time?
Thanks a lot!
Written 15 March 2019
hi
for the Cloud forest you can buy the ticket directly from the site where you will also find the price.
for my personal experience it was not possible for us to stay on the catwalk during the show for safety reasons.
the ticket office closes about 40/45 minutes before the show, which however is very visible from the park below
ciao

Hi, is garden rhapsody show good to watch from ground or OCBC (Sky walk) ?
Written 21 February 2018
We went to the show with the intent of watching from the OCBC, but when we arrived, the queue was over an hour long. My recommendation is to skip it as it does not seem like you can predict that you will be on the OCBC when the show starts. Another advantage of being on the ground is that you get this surreal view of people huddled in groups in the dark all looking upward at the light show. Made for some fantastic photos.

Is it necessary to get tickets of dome as well to see skywalk ..or 8 singapore dollars is all we have to pay ?
Written 4 January 2018
You only need to pay 8 Singapore Dollars for the Skywalk ticket alone. Ticketing for the Skywalk is separate from the Domes - the Skywalk has its own ticket booth at the Supertree Grove, at the bottom of the Skywalk.
