- RoverPInverness, United Kingdom798 contributionsUnique and spectacularLess colourful than the flower dome but no less spectacular. This consists primarily of a large steep hill complete with a high waterfall. A wide range of cloud forest plants are packed into this. Whilst there are not many flowers, there are a lot orchids. The experience is enhanced by sculptures of animals and birds and other decorative features. A bit pricey but absolutely worth it.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 February 2024
- LifeAquatc102 contributionsBreathtakingJust the scale and grandeur is incredible with all the flowers, plants, trees and detail that has gone into its building is immense. As the plants mature, I am sure that it would become only more beautiful. The walkway is worth the wait to go around and the evening is the best time to visit when the lights start to come on and provide a more atmospheric experience.Visited February 2024Travelled soloWritten 18 February 2024
- AbbykatWollongong, Australia1,593 contributionsJust stunningWe did the flower dome first, then came here. You go to the top 7th floor (by lift, then walk up the last flight) and work your way down.

- Blee50Eagan, Minnesota27 contributionsGreat Views as you descend from the top!It was my husband’s first time in Singapore so he was pretty amazed at the Cloud Forest. We went one weekday morning after we had gone to the Flower Dome and it wasn’t too busy at all. So we enjoyed a leisurely stroll taking in all the scenery and vegetation as we went. Amazing walkway that juts out in a few spots so you can take in the views from a little bit farther away despite being fairly high up. It was pouring rain outside so a very good reason to be inside enjoying the exhibits, flowers, carved wooden creations…Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 26 February 2024
- WeaverVictoria, Australia3 contributionsBeautiful !!!I was truly impressed by the incredible presentation of a functioning ecosystem. The meticulous effort put into creating and constructing this location was truly admirable. As soon as you step inside, you are greeted by a stunning, immense green waterfall. There is an impressive skywalk from which to view the area from above. Additionally, there is a theater section where they are educating visitors about the impact of global warming on our world.Visited January 2024Travelled on businessWritten 29 February 2024
- NickyP54Bargara, Australia1,545 contributionsImpressed with the scale and beautyWe purchased the double entry ticket for Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, but much preferred this uniquely spectacular attraction. It was quite busy being towards the end of Lunar New Year celebrations, but we were still very impressed with both the scale and beauty of this creation. An atmospheric encounter being there for some misting with the water cascading down and the orchid displays were extensive and stunning. Great views from the elevated walkways and a series of interactive workspaces provided an educational touch as well. Simply a must do when visiting the city.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 1 March 2024
- RamboNWAlbertaSpruce Grove, Canada646 contributionsGreat experienceThis dome is an amazing structure and such a great experience to visit! Walking in is the majestic waterfall that musts down! So refreshing on a hot day of high humidity! We spent an hour touring through this forest and thought it was fantastic. We’d bought tickets on line so avoided lines and simply walked right in.. So much to see and learn in here, highly recommend taking this in!Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 7 March 2024
- wang2383Longjing, Taichung71,661 contributionsWell worth a visitCloud Forest, one of the two major greenhouse gardens in Singapore's Marina Bay Park, creates a forest-like environment. Although there are many green plants and many flowers, it mainly presents a green, comfortable and cool environment. The butterfly-like passage not only allows you to enjoy the landscaping from various angles, it is also a good place to take photos. Although there is an entrance fee, it is worth visiting.Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 7 March 2024
- 李小芬Hong Kong, China4 contributionsAstonishingIt's a great place to cool off and learn about many plants. The cloud forest may look natural, but it's not. If you're a nature lover, you should give it a try. This is a must-do experience in Singapore and worth every penny of the ticket. Take your time and get up close to see the diversity of flora from all over the world.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 March 2024

We were thrilled to visit the Cloud Forest, a very cool attraction within Singapore's Gardens by the Bay. It is home to one of the world's tallest indoor waterfalls and houses numerous exotic plant species along its unique aerial walkways.
Arriving around noon, we found it bustling with visitors, highlighting the importance of purchasing tickets online in advance. However, the wait proved worthwhile. Upon entering the Cloud Forest, we were greeted by the Falls, a breathtaking 35-meter indoor waterfall. This iconic spot is a must-visit for travelers seeking to capture its beauty in photographs.
We proceeded to explore the Dome, which showcased a diverse array of beautiful plants, evoking the ambiance of a real cloud forest. Information plates along the walkway provided insights into the origins and characteristics of these botanical wonders. Additionally, an exhibition offered further information about the Cloud Forest, enriching our experience.
Our journey through the Cloud Forest on the well-designed aerial walkway was fantastic, and giving us stunning views of the forest below. We spent hours in this enchanting environment, thoroughly enjoying every moment.

You might feel flowered out at some point in Singapore. Regardless. you must made a point of visiting the Cloud Forest. Home to an amazing orchid collection, you'll also find a beautiful waterfall, and immersive digital experience, and multiple floors of temperature control (I.e., air conditioning).
I recommend you block off at least 2-hours, making the price of admission more than fair. I came in the morning to avoid crowds, however, heard like other parts of the Gardens by the Bay, it gets lit up beautifully - however I cannot confirm. Enjoy!

The Cloud Forest is truly a sight to behold. It’s everything you see on all those travel shows and more. It definitely lives up to its expectations and is not one of the “tourist traps”.
We came by on a Thursday at around 4 pm . We had a combined Gardens by the Bay ticket, which included entrance to the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome. We purchased it through Klook, and they have various combo options. I’d definitely recommend purchasing tickets beforehand because the tickets to purchase on site looked like it would take an extra 20 minutes or so. By pre-purchasing, it was a breeze. There was no wait and they just scanned our ticket barcode.
Inside, you’ll want to take a pic with the iconic waterfall at the entrance. Luckily, it wasn’t too crowded at the time we went, so we didn’t have to wait too long. There are different levels of flowers and plants you can take the elevator too. At the time of year we went (September 2022), they were prepping for an Avatar exhibit so it seems like there might be something special going on at certain times if you’re lucky enough to catch it. There are a lot of high winding walkways, so just beware if you’re afraid of heights. For us, it took about 30 to 45 minutes to walk through and explore everything from entry to exit.
If you only have time for one museum, I would prefer this one over the Flower Dome because this one is much more unique.

Over priced overrated experience. Admission to the cloud forest and flower dome was a whopping $59pp. Singapore residents pay a different much lower price. I would have been underwhelmed if it had been free. There are wonderful things to do in Singapore. The Botanical Gardens are terrific. The Cloud forest was ridiculously expensive and crowded with nothing much to see. It reeked of faux. The waterfall simply looked like a big tap that had been turned on. As an educational experience for toddlers in an air conditioned environment it may have some relevance but I cannot think of a tourist experience anywhere in the world that left me feeling so unhappy that I had wasted time, effort and money. The flower dome was simply a silly instagram photo opportunity or once again an opportunity to educate very young children in an air conditioned environment or if you need somewhere cool to walk and don’t mind paying for the privilege and doing so in a crowded environment.

We planned to see this along with the accompanied Flower Garden. They were selling joint tickets only at the on site booth; however, Flower Garden was closed that day. We opted to skip this since they would still charge the full $53 without reducing the ticket price.
The following day we were doing other things but an acquaintance bought the dual $53 per person tickets, so we weren't able to arrive until 8:30 pm (a half hour before the "official" closing time). We arrived 20 minutes before 9:00pm but were denied entry despite the fact that five tickets had been bought earlier that day....and no refunds offered.
I can Not recommend this attraction simply for the fact that they are Not customer friendly but focused only on making money.

A must do when you are in Singapore. We got our tickets on the day (a Saturday) at the ticket office near Downtown station and chose to get the shuttle over for $3 to give my daughters legs a rest.
There was no queuing to get in and it wasn't too busy inside (we were there between 1pm & 2pm). The variety of plants are amazing and lots of thought has been put into the design so you get an amazing view around every corner. Make sure you are there when the mist comes out (every 2 hours from 10am).
There are toilets & a few restaurants nearby. Check the website before visiting for closures.

Cloud Forest is one of the two star attractions at Garden By the Bay in Singapore. Admission can be combined with Flower Dome for $53 per person, which gives a small discount. The dome itself is an impressive structure, huge, all glass which allows you to enjoy the view of part of Singapore and Indonesia in the distance.
Cloud Forest is home to the tallest artificial waterfall in the world and you immediately feel immersed in another world as soon as you walk through the entrance. The world of Avatar was featured throughout the visit, truly giving another dimension to the discovery of this world. The entire route is dotted with sculptures from the Avatar films (characters, plants, etc.), technological activities (putting yourself in the shoes of Avatar), animatronics, other screens to put yourself in the shoes of a tamer of winged animals, etc.
The one-way route takes us through every corner of the immense dome where all kinds of plants and trees meet. The majority are obviously adapted to cultivation under a dome in a very humid environment. In fact, every half hour or so, the misters distill their water droplets, giving the place a truly magical atmosphere. A real mist is thus recreated.
An elevator then takes us to the top of the waterfall, at the top of the clouds (hence the name of the place) for a gentle descent via a gently sloping walkway through the artificially created fog. We truly find ourselves immersed in a magnificent world. We finish the route in the basement where we pass into a sort of cave with plants of all kinds.
Everything is really very clean, the staff is friendly and smiling. Allow 2 hours and go as early as possible to avoid the crowds. We went there at 9am, when it opened, we were almost alone, it was great and pleasant.

Gardens By The Bay, particularly Cloud Forest, really is a 'must see' if you're in Singapore. A spectacularly beautiful experience, my wife and I, and our 14 year old twin daughters loved every minute of the Cloud Forest experience. We went not long before sunset so got to enjoy this by day, twilight and night. As well as the unforgettable displays you can also enjoy some beautiful views of the city whilst up high in the dome. I highly recommend finishing in time to see one of the captivating Supertrees sound and light show which run for 15 minutes at 7.45pm and 8.45pm. This is a 5 minute walk from the Cloud Forest exit and rounds off the experience nicely. Our visit was an experience our family will never forget!

We visited it next to the Flower Dome because it had an Avatar exhibit. I had read some reviews that it wasn't worth it, but my daughter, who loves Avatar, insisted she wanted to go. It was already dusk when we entered, and we were very happy to see it inside. The visit was magical: discovering the Avatar universe next to the waterfall, among so much vegetation, with the lights of the bay in the background was an unforgettable experience. I know that if the exhibition had not been there and we were visiting for the day, perhaps our experience would have been different. However, and although the entrance is paid and like almost everything in Singapore, not exactly cheap, I recommend visiting it because it is a very curious and beautiful place.

This is a huge indoor forest on the north side of Gardens by the Bay.
It comes with tickets to the Flower Dome right next door and was purchased in advance from the official website.
The night view inside the dome is beautiful and this one is overwhelmingly better than the Flower Dome.
This is my second visit to Singapore and I think it is one of the top three Things to do.

can someone explain to me the difference between flower dome and cloud forest and can you reccomend it to me which is more worth it to visit?
Written 10 March 2019
Your admission grants you access to both, so if time isn't a factor, see them both.
Flower dome is a large, inside garden with flowers and plants from around the world organized by geographical location. Depending on how long you want to look at the flowers, it could take you 45 minutes or several hours.
Cloud forest is connected to flower dome (via the gift shop). Cloud forest is like anything anywhere else in the world. When you first walk in, you're greeted by a large, indoor waterfall. You make your way around the exterior moving upwards, experiencing the flora of a cloud forest. Once at the top, you then descend through the middle of the structure to learn more about geology.
If I was only doing one, I would definitely do Cloud Forest.
