Attractions
The things worth booking.
The theme parks, viewpoints, museums and harbour trips that people build a Singapore trip around.
For each one we tell you how it is really booked (timed entry, advance only, a boat timetable, or just turn up) and give you a booking button wherever we have a partner link; where we do not, the card says how to book it, or that entry is free.

The bay gardens: the Supertree Grove, the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest conservatories, and the waterfront lawns that host Christmas Wonderland each December. Supertree Observatory and the OCBC Skyway sit above it all.
How to book: Conservatory tickets are date and time specific on the official site and the platforms. The outdoor gardens are free; arrive early for the conservatories on weekends.
