Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, or just the outdoor gardens?
The outdoor gardens are enough for most visits: they open daily from 5am to 2am, and the Garden Rhapsody light show there is free. The Flower Dome and Cloud Forest take tickets and open 9am to 9pm. We'd stay outside, with Supertree Grove at dusk, and add the two domes when it rains.
