This time, the field is decorated with more traditional elements – patches of green and reds (poinsettia). The topiary reindeers are also interesting, but lacks that wow factor in the day.

Gardens by the Bay recently launched a new mobile app, which acts as both an electronic guide to the Gardens with a handful of engaging activities.

I gave the app a spin during a preview sometime ago. There are several minigames that make use of features such as Augmented Reality (AR) and QR-code scanning. These are not new things, but the implementation at the Gardens is well executed.

    Coming to Singapore for the first time. When do you think is the best time to visit the Gardens Afternoon or Evening? Do you also have photos of the cloud dome?

    Wonderful. Wish I was there

    Hi Clarise, I would say the best time to visit the Gardens is around 5pm onwards. It’s not too hot by then, and you catch the Flower and Cloud domes as the sun is setting. They look even better at night. Then hop over to the Supertree Grove for some Christmas festivities.
