Before you go
What can't I bring into Gardens by the Bay?
Bicycles, scooters, skateboards, kites, drones and open flames are not allowed, and food and drink stay out of the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Picnics are allowed on the grounds, but picnic furniture is not, and tripods are off-limits on weekends and public holidays. We'd lock a bike at the stands and walk the Gardens on foot.

Can I bring my dog to Gardens by the Bay?
Yes, dogs may go in the Outdoor Gardens on a leash, but not into the conservatories, OCBC Skyway, Supertree Observatory, gift shops or the Children's Garden. Guide dogs are the exception. Breeds that the dog-licensing rules name must also be muzzled, and you clean up after your dog.

Does Gardens by the Bay ever close?
The Outdoor Gardens are open daily from 5am to 2am, and Bay East Garden stays open 24 hours. Only the conservatories close, once a month each for maintenance, and one at a time, so another is open on every closure day. The opening hours page lists the closure dates, which is worth a look before you buy a dome ticket.
