Plan your visit

Practical answers to the most common visitor questions.

Best time of day

Late morning (10–12) for indoor conservatories, then swap to the outdoor walkways after the sun softens around 5 pm. The evening Garden Rhapsody light show at 7:45 pm is free.

Getting there

Bayfront MRT (CE1/DT16) is the closest station. A signposted underground link takes you across in about eight minutes. Buses 400 and 133 stop nearby.

What to wear

The conservatories are cooled to roughly 23 °C. Bring a light layer if you are sensitive to air conditioning. Outdoors — Singapore standard: light, breathable, hat.

How long to stay

Plan 3–4 hours for the two conservatories and Supertree walkway. Add another hour if you want to eat at one of the on-site cafés.
