Singapore’s beloved Gardens by the Bay is turning up the excitement in 2025 with new attractions and enhanced experiences that offer something for every traveler. Whether you're here on a short trip or planning a personalised itinerary with a Private Tours Singapore experience, the Gardens is the perfect spot to unwind, explore, and discover nature in creative new ways.
One of the biggest highlights this year is the return of Tulipmania, now featuring a fresh theme titled “Tulipmania – The Ottoman Legacy.” This floral extravaganza pays tribute to Türkiye, often credited as the original home of tulips, long before they became the national flower of the Netherlands. Over 50,000 tulips are on display in a range of vibrant shades and rare varieties.

The Flower Dome has been transformed into a Turkish-inspired landscape, complete with blooming arches, a floral replica of the iconic Blue Mosque, and market-themed floral arrangements that take you right into the heart of Istanbul. This year’s display is more immersive than ever, especially with the addition of “Sensory Moments,” where visitors can touch, smell, and interact with tulips through guided, hands-on experiences. If you’re a plant enthusiast or simply love a good photo spot, visiting with a friendly tour guide as part of your private tour can really elevate the experience, giving you a deeper understanding of the flowers’ cultural significance and historical journey.
Families will also be thrilled with the brand-new PropNex Family Zone, the largest outdoor play area at the Gardens to date. Opened in April 2025, this nature-themed playground is inspired by the Gardens’ iconic Supertrees and features everything from climbing towers and flying fox rides to a glowing sandpit and super-long tunnel slides. At the centre is Becky Bunny, a giant bunny-shaped play structure that’s a hit with young kids and perfect for adorable photo moments. Whether you’re travelling with toddlers or teens, this new area adds even more fun and flexibility for families exploring the Gardens. Parents can relax in shaded seating areas while kids immerse themselves in hours of nature-inspired adventure.

If you’re visiting Singapore and want to explore Gardens by the Bay in the most convenient and insightful way, we recommend including it in a Private Tours Singapore itinerary. With a friendly tour guide, you’ll learn fascinating stories behind the Supertree Grove, the sustainable design of the domes, and insider tips to navigate the space efficiently. You'll also be guided to the best photo spots, optimal timing for the Garden Rhapsody light show, and lesser-known features like the Floral Clock and the Heritage Gardens. On the other hand, if you prefer to explore independently, Gardens by the Bay is also easy to access by MRT and has plenty of signage and resources for self-guided visitors. From the tranquil Cloud Forest with its indoor waterfall to the evening light show beneath the Supertrees, there’s plenty to enjoy at your own pace.
Gardens by the Bay continues to redefine what a city garden can be, and 2025 is the perfect year to rediscover this iconic landmark. Whether you’re admiring tulips inspired by Ottoman art or watching your kids zip through a giant bunny slide, there’s something magical here for everyone. And if you’re planning your Singapore adventure with us, don’t hesitate to request Gardens by the Bay as part of your customised Private Tours Singapore.
