15 Jul 2012 - Gardens by the Bay

The past 2 weeks have been very busy due to a major project cutover.  Fortunately, the cutover was pretty smooth and I finally have some times to bring my angels out to have some fun.  We decided to visit the recently opened Gardens by the Bay.
We reached the Gardens at about 10:30am and the carpark was full.  It seems like there are some events going on earlier.  Anyway, we waited for a while and able to get a parking lot.  Below is the gardens map.

The first thing we notice the moment we entered the park was the hot weather.  After 10 mins of walking around, everyone started to perspire.  The heat was quite unbearable and we quickly try to find a place which is under shelter.  We walked towards the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest where there is an indoor area.  We did not enter the two conservatories which require entrance fees.  Anyway, I don't think my 2 angels will enjoy the place.  Around this indoor area, there are many animal sculptures and totem poles.


After rested for a while, we decided to walk back to the carpark and leave the place because my two angels felt bored and kept asking me to go home.  Sigh.....probably this place is really not suitable for young kids.  On our way back to the garden entrance, we passed by some unique trees and plants.


Below are the most prominent attraction of the entire gardens.  Once in the gardens, nobody will miss these huge Supertrees, that grow as high as 16 storeys in height.  There is also a 128 metres Skywalk that stands 50 metres above ground.  It connects Supertrees in the Grove and allows people to have a superb view of the gardens.

















Before we bidded farewell to the gardens, we had Texas Chicken lunch in the gardens canteen. I heard that the gardens look a lot nicer at night when all the lightings are up. Furthermore, the weather will be much cooler. Probably we will come again next time at night.
