Misty Jungle in a Glass Dome

#summervacay The Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay is magical. Step inside the glass dome and suddenly you’re in a misty mountain rainforest… in Singapore. The centerpiece waterfall is epic, 35 meters of cascading water surrounded by lush greenery, ferns, and orchids clinging to every angle. You start at the base and then hike up the Cloud Walk and Treetop Walk, high above the ground, peering through clouds and spotting creatures (and taking tons of selfies). The interactive exhibits are cool, too, learn about climate change, plant adaptation, and why tropical plants are overachievers. It’s surprisingly cool temperature-wise, so your ice cream melting panic subsides for a minute. Plus, the vibe is peaceful but still buzzy with families, tourists, and “wow” feeling at every turn. If you’re in Singapore and need a break from the heat and city buzz, Cloud Forest is a rainy-day wonderland, a must.
