Cloud Forest

The Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay is a mesmerizing indoor mountain shrouded in mist, offering a cool respite from Singapore’s tropical climate. Upon entering, you’re immediately captivated by the towering 35-meter-tall Cloud Mountain, covered in lush vegetation and cascading waterfalls. This unique structure is home to plant species from tropical highlands up to 2,000 meters above sea level, providing a rare opportunity to experience a high-altitude rainforest environment. The cool, moist conditions replicate those found in tropical mountain regions, creating an immersive and refreshing experience for visitors.

A journey through the Cloud Forest begins with a walk around the base of the mountain, where you can admire the diverse plant life and the impressive waterfall, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall until recently. As you ascend via the spiraling walkways and lifts, you’ll encounter a variety of themed areas such as the Cloud Walk and the Treetop Walk, offering spectacular views of the lush landscape below. The Cloud Forest also features interactive exhibits and educational displays that highlight the importance of biodiversity and the impact of climate change on these fragile ecosystems. This blend of natural beauty and environmental education makes the Cloud Forest a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in the wonders of nature.
