Cloud Forest Gardens by the Bay Singapore

Cloud Forest Singapore: A Journey into the Clouds

Embark on a fascinating journey of discovery at Cloud Forest, a cooled conservatory in Gardens by the Bay. This lush mountain is home to exotic plant species from around the world, offering a unique botanical experience. Prepare to have your head in the clouds as you explore one of the world’s tallest indoor waterfalls and a mountain clad with diverse flora.

Explore the Exotic Plant Life

Get up close with some of the world’s most exotic plant species as you stroll along Cloud Forest’s unique aerial walkways. Discover unusual vegetation native to cloud forest habitats, typically found at around 2,000 metres above sea level. Look out for carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants and Venus Flytraps set against a verdant carpet of delicate ferns and mosses, all while enjoying spectacular views of the Marina Bay waterfront.

The Hidden Forest: A Digital Art Experience

Embark on a journey of discovery through The Hidden Forest, a brand new digital art experience in collaboration with Japan’s NAKED INC at Crystal Mountain and Cloud Forest Gallery. Wander into the heart of an enchanted realm of blooming flowers and frolicking fauna endemic to cloud forests around the world. Venture deeper into The Hidden Forest and gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things in this precious habitat.

Walkways and Panoramic Views

Take a stroll along the Cloud Walk as you descend the mountain and admire the vibrant epiphytes that clad the mountain’s sides. Enjoy panoramic views of the Gardens and Marina Bay as you learn about the characteristics of cloud forest habitats and the unusual species unique to them. Be wowed by the amazing adaptations of epiphytes, plants that don’t grow in soil but rely on the support of other plants to thrive.

Discover Earth's Fresh Water Sources

Take a moment to appreciate Earth’s fresh water sources, learning how epiphyte laden branches help cloud forests capture water droplets from mist and fog. From the foot of the mountain, look up and feast your eyes on the luxuriant forest canopy sprawling across the Tree Top Walk.

Thematic Attractions

Discover some 7,000 plants of more than 135 species and hybrids set amidst a landscape inspired by limestone forests and caves. Be sure to keep an eye out for the miniature orchids, some of which are so tiny you’ll need a magnifying glass to spot them. Interact with our holographic display and catch engaging short films to learn about climate change as well as eco sensitive ways to support these meaningful causes.

Orchid Haven

Orchid enthusiasts will be thrilled with Orchid Haven, a 280 sqm area dedicated to hosting the cooled conservatory’s changing orchid displays as well as permanent orchid exhibits. Horticulturists recognised the need to carve out more space to showcase orchids, given the growing popularity of Cloud Forest’s changing orchid displays.
