7 Free Things to Do at Gardens by the Bay

The paid conservatories get much of the attention, but a large part of Gardens by the Bay is free. These seven options are confirmed on the Gardens' current attraction and opening-hours pages.

1. Supertree Grove

The Grove is free to enter and is home to 12 of the Gardens' 18 Supertrees. The outdoor area is generally open from 5am to 2am.

2. Garden Rhapsody

The Supertrees' light-and-sound show runs daily at 7.45pm and 8.45pm and is listed as free admission. Ticketed special events can affect access.

3. Serene Garden

This two-hectare garden takes inspiration from Japanese zen landscapes. Admission is free and current opening hours are 5am to 2am daily.

4. Heritage Gardens

Four themed gardens use plants to tell stories about Singapore's Chinese, Malay, Indian and colonial history. Admission is free.

5. World of Plants

World of Plants focuses on tropical ecosystems and plant adaptations. It is part of the outdoor gardens and does not require a standard attraction ticket.

6. The Canyon

The Canyon is a 400-metre outdoor trail with sculptural rocks and arid-region plants. Admission is free.

7. Bay East Garden

Bay East Garden is open 24 hours and works well for a quieter waterfront walk away from the busiest Bay South attractions.
