Supertree Grove

A successful trip to Supertree Grove starts with a little prep. While the gardens stay open year-round and most features are outdoors, Singapore's midday sun can be punishing. Choosing the right time enhances the experience, especially if hoping to catch the gardens’ stunning nightly light shows. The landmark sits within Gardens by the Bay, close to the bayfront, so the commute feels easy and scenic whether coming by train, bus, or on foot from Marina Bay Sands. Tickets are needed for some attractions—including the OCBC Skyway—but wandering the grove itself costs nothing.

• Best time to visit: Late afternoon or early evening; December to early April sees less rain.
• How to get there: Take the MRT to Bayfront Station; buses and pedestrian paths from the Marina Bay area also connect directly.
• Accessibility: Wide, flat trails suit strollers, wheelchairs, and visitors of all ages; elevators reach the Skyway platforms.
• Average visit duration: 90 minutes to three hours, depending on activities and crowds.

Supertree Grove bursts with attractions both famous and quietly surprising. Twenty-five to fifty-meter steel “trees” tower above themed gardens and peaceful benches. At twilight, the area transforms. The famous Garden Rhapsody light and sound show sweeps through the branches, attracting locals and travelers who share the moment together. Make time for the OCBC Skyway—an aerial walkway linking several Supertrees—offering dramatic skyline views and a touch of adventure. But tucked nearby, quieter trails, shaded alcoves, and quirky art installations invite pause.

• Key sights or features: The Supertrees themselves, OCBC Skyway, canopy walk.
• Unique experiences: Sunset on the Skyway, interactive info displays for kids, nearby Heritage Gardens packed with tropical plants.
• Photo-worthy locations: Top of the Skyway for skyline shots, under the tallest Supertree for innovative perspectives, ponds reflecting light at dusk.
• Cultural or historical facts: Each Supertree acts as a vertical garden, hosting over 200 plant species, while also providing real ecological functions such as collecting rainwater and filtering garden air.
