Three waterfront gardens — Bay South (54 ha, designed by Grant Associates), Bay Central, and Bay East — ring the Marina Reservoir. The scale is real: 50 million visits by 2018, and TripAdvisor's 2024 awards ranked it the top attraction in Asia and eighth in the world.
What to look for
- The Flower Dome in Bay South Garden — the world's largest glass greenhouse
- Bay East Garden's tropical leaf-shaped sections, each with its own distinct landscaping theme and character
- Unobstructed city skyline views from Bay East's 2-kilometre promenade along the Marina Reservoir
Bay Central's 3-kilometre waterfront promenade links Bay South and Bay East — walk it to move between the two main gardens without retracing steps.
