Gorgeous! Were you at the top of the 3 towers with the garden spaning across when you took the pictures of the harbor? What's up there? Any photos of those gardens?

Thanks!

Yes we went to what they call Sky Park, 20 dollars for the lift.

But if you're not client of the Marina bay Sands hotel, you're allowed only to the viewing platform and not to the pool and roof gardens.

disappointed!!!

Regards

I heard that one can make reservation at one of the restaurants on the roof of the Sands Hotel. You will get a special pass and do not need to pay the $20 fee. You may end up paying more for your dinner, but you do get to see the pool and garden area

You're right, but one has to be sure he wants to spend a big amount for his dinner (which can be very high in Singapore) and enjoy the High Sophisticated atmosphere and designed roof garden;
I must admit that after Gardens by the Bay I had to run back to the botanic garden and enjoy seeing dead leaves under the trees, seeing roots and mud soil.... and old canopy!

something "dirty" ( if we can find that in Singapore).

I must be a jungle boy!

Anyway I enjoyed discovering this amazing new landscaping!

Let's see how all this planting will evolve !
