Supertree Grove At The Gardens By The Bay

I’m sure that when you think of Singapore you picture the Supertree Grove, or if you are like me, that really cool tree thing that lights up and looks like it came from a sci-fi movie.  The Supertree Grove can be found at the Marina Bay Sands Gardens by the Bay. There are daily light shows that run twice a night at 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm and are definitely worth the visit. For S$8, or included with your annual pass (see our post on the Cloud Forest to find out more), you can get up close and personal...

I was super excited to visit the Cloud Forest attraction at the Gardens by the Bay in SIngapore.  The Cloud Forest is the largest glass greenhouse in the world and boasts the world’s largest indoor waterfall. Say whaaaaat! I would describe it as The Lost World meets Bio-Dome. If you are like me and grew up in the late 80s to early 90s then experiencing the Cloud Forest was like getting to play a small part in the movies Jurassic Park and Bio-dome with Pauly Shore.  So go check ‘um out Buuud-eee. The Cloud Forest is the largest glass...
