A dazzling show among the Supertrees

It is the grand finale of a day well spent at Gardens by the Bay. It lasts for 15 minutes. However, that is more than enough to be dazzled by a spectacle of light and sound, unlike any you have seen before. This is the Garden Rhapsody Light and Sound Show.

Welcome to Garden of Wonder

Spread over 101 hectares of reclaimed land right in the heart of Singapore, right next to the equally famous Marina Bay Waterfront, Gardens by the Bay is a stunning nature park.

From spectacular architecture and innovative horticulture practices to environmentally sustainable design, Gardens by the Bay offers plenty for those who are willing to explore this lush green park. Small wonder that it has been consistently earning accolades and winning awards.

With themed gardens from different regions of the world, several climates and habitats are showcased in its cooled conservatories. No wonder it has been drawing tourists and locals alike since opening its doors to the public in 2012.

The Garden Rhapsody Light and Sound Show

By the time you are through checking out all these attractions, the sun would be rapidly setting on the horizon. Your weary legs and tired body would have already given you ample hints to call it a night. However, there is one last grand finale that you must wait for – the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show.

This synchronized display of colorful lights and music takes place on the Supertree Grove every night at 7:45 and 8:45 pm. With the iconic Supertrees as the centerpiece, expect an immersive and spectacular experience that showcases the beauty of the Supertrees and the whole park.

And should you imagine yourself in the middle of a movie set, you wouldn’t be far off the mark. This iconic structure has been featured in several movies, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Hitman: Agent 47, and Crazy Rich Asians.

Running for around 15 minutes each, these shows are free and open to the public.

Plan your magical show

Gardens by the Bay is located at 18 Marine Garden Drive, Singapore 018953. Thanks to its central location, in the heart of the city, and its proximity to the Marina Bay Sands resort and the Central Business District area, it can be easily reached by various modes of public transportation.

However, I found it most convenient to hop onto Singapore’s super-efficient MRT system. It is one of the best forms of public transport I have used in this city. Once you get off at Bayfront Station, look for signs directing you to Gardens by the Bay. Brace yourself, it is quite a long walk, and depending on how you pace yourself, should take about 10 minutes. As for those of you keeping track of your daily count of steps, smile at yourself and march on. Once you reach the end, walk down a flight of stairs, and you will have reached Gardens by the Bay.

While it is open on all days of the week, check for specific timing, depending on which day you plan on visiting. You can visit the official Garden Rhapsody Light and Sound Show website page for details on their calendar of events, opening hours, ticket prices, things to do, and lots more.
