Right next to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest Dome.They sell the entry tickets as a joint package. The Cloud Forest currently has a special exhibit, Jurassic World The Experience incorporated into the forest.

The forest is set up so smartly to keep visitors comfortable and moving. You enter at the ground level and go around the outer base of the mountain and then take an elevator up thru the interior, to the top and wind your way down via ramps and escalators. The space is so lush and tropical but comfortably cool for visitors. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, despite the commercialism of Jurassic exhibit.

There were tons of beautiful orchids and other unique flowers along with lnteresting scultures and dinosaurs.

Again the views outside the Dome were as interesting to me, as what was inside the dome. Got a great view of the tree top walkway between the Supertrees ,out in the Gardens by the Bay park.

Mid way down the walkway there is a Team Labs Exhibit of flower projecting in the interior space. I love their creativity and the immersive experience. We first saw them in Japan.

Farewell for now, Lion City!

I loved our time in Singapore, there is so much more left to explore! I am excited that we are coming back several more times this summer & fall since this our best Port to get fuel in, during this global shortage, due to the war with Iran.

I have wanted to try the Dining in the Dark experience for years! Bosco had done once before back in San Francisco, but was game to do again. I was so excited when I found the listing in the Seeking Sophie website , looking for unique experiences in Singapore .
