Flower dome
Pick your next Hassle-free holiday with us

Experience the enchanted atmosphere of the Flower Dome Singapore, where the climate-controlled glass architecture and the botanical marvel collide. Located within Gardens by the Bay, Flower Dome Singapore is your ticket to the strolling of exotic flowers, ancient trees, perfumed gardens, and constantly changing floral arrangements - all under one mega climate-perfect roof. You may be a hopeless romantic or an outdoors person, or simply a live-in-the-moment person, but whatever the case may be, Flower Dome is beckoning your name.

What Makes Flower Dome Singapore So Special?

  • World's largest glass greenhouse: Flower Dome Singapore holds the Guinness World Record for the largest column-free glass greenhouse in the world. 
  • World plants under a single roof: Within it, you will find gardens that recreate climates of various parts of the world - of the Mediterranean hillsides and the African savannahs, the deserts of South America and the Australian drylands. 
  • Dynamic Flower Field: This Flower Field within the Dome is a moving show area. You can see tulips, primroses, dahlias, and poinsettias, depending on the time of year you visit; colour and theme change with the season and festival. 
  • Comfortable coolness with the vibe: The temperature inside is maintained at 23°C-25°C, which can be considered a chilly reprieve of the tropical climate in Singapore, and a cool walk can be enjoyed even in the middle of the day. 
  • Gardens of the 5 continents: You get to walk in Mediterranean olive groves, African baobab trees, South-American palms, Australian desert succulents - a world tour wrapped in a world tour - no passports required.

Flower Dome Singapore Exhibits & Displays: What to See Inside

The following is a list of the key areas and points of interest. You have your camera ready, babe.

  • Baobab Grove - Home of the famous Baobab (or "bottle tree" / "Tree of Life"), having its thick and water-holding trunk. These trees are huge, and walking under them evokes a serious savannah-in-the-city. 
  • Olive Grove and Mediterranean Garden - Walk through ancient olive trees (more than 300-year-old), date palms, grape vines and plants grown in the Mediterranean climate. Seems to be a tiny journey to Tuscany or Provence - without the travel. 
  • Succulent Garden and Desert Zones- Spiky agaves, cacti and hardy succulents, as well as desert plants that have adapted to their arid environment. The exuberance of a crazy contrast to the green lush of the ordinary gardens, but insane cool in a minimalist kind of sense. 
  • South African / South American / Australian Gardens - Exotic palms exotic shrubs, cactus and plants that are not found anywhere. The zones take you to another continent - yet, you remain in Singapore. 
  • Flower Field (Seasonal Exhibitions) - No matter when you are visiting, you will get a delight: a themed floral exhibition, festival-prepared flowers, and colour-rich and flawless backgrounds to take photographs. Perfect with couples, families or in your independent aesthetic-wanderlust day. 

In addition, there are also free guided tours (you should be lucky to get one), about the plants, their environment and history, and it is all fun and educational.

The Reason Flower Dome Singapore Is a Victoria You Can't Leave Without (Even if you have seen Singapore)

  • And it is not a garden, but an international vegetable palace. One minute you are among African baobabs and the next minute you are beneath Mediterranean olive trees.
  • It integrates nature + architecture + climate control - hence the greenness without the swelter. Rain or shine, you're golden.
  • Good with any type of travellers - lone travellers, couples, families, plant lovers, and aesthetes.
  • There is always a change of seasons and flower displays that ensure every visit may be completely novel. A month later, you might come back and encounter a completely different atmosphere.
  • It is Instagram worthy, yes - but also relaxing, informative, and practically magical (when you take the time to just smell the flowers).
