Really late on this post because I actually visited Gardens By The Bay around end July as I wanted to bring my grandparents to make full use of the SG50 promotions going on. Where Senior Citizens get to enter for free and 50% for the accompanying caregiver ! (Just found out this promo lasts till 31 Dec 2015! so do bring out the elderly in your home and let them enjoy the day !)
To be honest, I am totally not someone who actually appreciates these kind of places where you look at the scenery and just look. Not just in Singapore but I don't really like visiting these places overseas as well.
But since there are discounts, being the cheapo I am, of course I have to take up this opportunity ! At the same time, I can bring my grandparents there and let them experience it which makes me happy too :)
Standard Admission tickets come with access to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. Plus points is that there are priority queues if you are purchasing Senior Citizen tickets ! The queue was generally pretty long when we visited at around 5pm on a Saturday. As it was closing up on the National Day weekend, there were parade rehearsals going on so you could actually catch the jets and fireworks from Gardens By The Bay.
Pardon that horrible gel nail polish left on my thumb
Visited the Flower Dome first which is filled with colourful flowers ! (obviously) Honestly did not really enjoy it that much because of the huge amount of people and how almost every photo you want to take would have someone else at the background :(
Really nice place to relax though ! If maybe you visit on a weekday. The place is air conditioned so it felt really good as compared to the hot SG weather
Had the little brother take some photos instead because I was not exactly in the mood to take any
Secret shots of my grandparents while they enjoy this place 10x more than I do.
Exited the Flower Dome after we had walked a whole round and went over to the Cloud Forest. Greeted by this magnificent waterfall which makes the place feel so cooling. But had to take extra care of the gramps because the floor was very slippery and wet.
One of the few photos of myself taken for the day and this walkway actually made me slightly dizzy because it felt weird to be walking down the slope like this. Actually witnessed some people not being able to walk more than 10 m of this and went back in.
Wasn't as enjoyable compared to the Flower Dome so we had left this place quite quickly.
Got lost on how to walk to Bayfront as my dad had fetched us there because my grandpa did not know how to drive there and also unfortunately because my dad had something on so he could not fetch us back ;; super long walk to bayfront mart which sucks ;
But then found out that you can actually have picnics at the area where there is open grass ! Had initially planned a picnic for Lia's Birthday but it rained so we had a indoor picnic at MBS (biggest joke)
