If you're traveling to Singapore and decide to stay at Marina Bay Sands, you must check out their Gardens by the Bay.
It is unlike anything you've seen before. I would not compared it to NYC Central Park or Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This is basically a huge "garden" space with fountains, exhibits, and even food venders at Satay by the Bay (I'll save this for a different post)
Inside the Garden by The Bay, there are twelve attractions and the 4 main ones we went to are:
Satay by the Bay - at least 20 food vendors selling street food, especially delicious chicken skewers
The drinks stand inside here are super refreshing and the dessert drinks are super delicious. In the humid/hot weather in Singapore, staying hydrated is a must
Roast duck over rice
Believe it or not this is 50 chicken skewers with a special pineapple sauce and peanut sauce for dipping
Cloud Forest - You feel like you're walking through a magical rain forest
There is a huge waterfall that you see the minute you walk inside to the Cloud Forest.
**chances are you might get some water on you, don't be alarmed
The mist showing in a lot of the photos is what makes them look enchanted, like an enchanted forest
Flower Dome - the most unique and rare flowers are found here
In celebration for Chinese New Year, they change up some of the exhibits and there is a restaurant inside the Flower Dome
Super Tree Grove - You feel like you're in Avatar the Movie at night time
Day vs. Night
How long is the walk?
From MBS to the Garden entrance is about 5 minutes. There are multiple ways to get to the Gardens but I think the quickest I took was roughly 5 minutes within MBS.
What's the "quickest" way?
I would suggest walking to Tower 3 then exit towards the right side, go under the tunnel and continue to walk straight for 10-15 minutes and you will breeze by the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, and Satay by the Bay.
Can you ride a bike/scooter in GBTB?
Yes, you can rent a bike/scooter or bring your own and there are spaces and areas for you to park it.
Would you go again?
I would for sure go back to Satay by the Bay because it was hands down the best satay I've ever had. As for the attractions, I would possibly go check out the other 8 that I haven't photographed yet before heading to see the attractions I have seen already.
What was my favorite attraction, aside from Satay by the Bay?
I would say my favorite was the Cloud Forest because I went in not knowing what to expect and came out enjoying the whole experience because I did not go in with any expectations.
