Cloud Forest
South East
Cloud Forest is one of two cooled conservatories within Singapore's iconic Gardens by the Bay, designed by WilkinsonEyre and Grant Associates. Opened as part of the Bay South Garden, it replicates the cool-moist climate found in tropical mountain regions, providing a unique habitat for a diverse range of flora. The conservatory features a spectacular indoor waterfall, which is one of the tallest in the world, cascading down a lush, man-made mountain covered in rare plants. Visitors can explore elevated walkways that wind through different vegetation zones, showcasing orchids, ferns, mosses, and pitcher plants. The structure is an engineering marvel, utilizing sustainable technologies such as rainwater collection and energy-efficient cooling systems integrated with the Supertrees. Cloud Forest educates visitors about biodiversity and the impact of climate change on fragile mountain ecosystems, making it both an entertaining and enlightening experience. Its blend of innovative architecture, environmental awareness, and botanical beauty makes it a must-visit attraction in Singapore.
