Floral fantasy and the cloud forest

I’d been looking forward to seeing the Cloud Forest Dome at Gardens by the Bay – and today was the day. But before that, we went up to the Sky Walk which connects two of the taller super trees for more panoramic views across the gardens and the city.

From there we went into the Floral Fantasy exhibit. That was fun. The theme was storybook characters from Disney and Pixar and lots of flowers from everywhere.

And then… the Cloud Forest.

It has a Jurassic World theme, loved by the many, many kids who came to see. There are dinosaurs. You start at the ground floor to admire the giant waterfall and the animatronic Brachiosaurus. A bit further on there is a tyrannosaurus rex, just like the one in Jurassic Park. Then you take the lift up to the sixth floor, walk up some stairs to the top level, and start your journey down through the lush vegetation. It’s awesome. And I loved it.

It was a beautiful exhibit. For the kids, there’s an exhibit featuring the three (trained) velociraptors that featured in Jurassic World. They’re in their crates – but one breaks out.

After a very full morning, we stopped for lunch… but I’ll tell you about that next time.
