One of the most spectacular sights in Singapore is The Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, the world's largest glass greenhouse. Wth thousands of perfectly manicured exotic plants, flowers, and trees, the cavernous cooled conservatory is a sight to behold, an innovative megastructure that literally brings the world’s flora under one roof. A columnless glass structure, it's designed to maximize natural light while maintaining a cool-dry Mediterranean climate suitable for plants from five continents. A showpiece of horticulture and garden artistry, the conservatories replicate the cool-dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid sub-tropical regions and the cool-moist climate of the Tropical Montane region, and house a diverse collection of plants that are not commonly found in this part of the world. Both the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, are widely recognized as architectural and engineering marvels that merge sustainable technology with natural beauty. Designed by WilkinsonEyre and Grant Associates, these cooled conservatories represent a futuristic approach to urban landscape design.
Jurassic World: The Experience was an extraordinary experience within the mist-shrouded Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay. Presented by NEON and Universal Live Entertainment, this immersive event brings to life the cinematic wonder of the Jurassic World film franchise through life-sized animatronic dinosaurs nestled within the iconic cooled conservatory. Surrounded by lush greenery and misty waterfalls, get ready to be transported hundreds of millions of years back in time to an era when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. The experience features zones for visitors to explore, with highlights including an awe-inspiring 8.5-meter-tall Brachiosaurus, and a face-to-face moment with the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex. Visitors can also search for tiny Compsognathus, or “Compys,” hidden throughout lush garden pathways and meet adorable baby dinosaurs. More than 72,000 plants thrive in Cloud Forest, with more than 50 species with lineages that can be traced back to the Jurassic period, such as ferns, cycads and conifers. These plants once thrived alongside dinosaurs and even served as food for them.
