We were on the JB's causeway yesterday as early as 730am for our bored weekend pass-by, and we decided to give the Singapore's Supertree Grove a visit just to feed on our curiosity on that iconic structure. It wasn't hard to notice the structure from ECP and the fact that it is situated just opposite the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) make it worth as a 2 + 1 object for visiting. Well, details are here:
We hit the road at approximately 630am and arrived at the Woodlands CIQ at around 730am. Getting in was smooth but it was bumper-to-bumper on the opposite. I normally use a simple calculation of getting in and out of Singapore. Come in as early as possible, especially on weekends but avoid going out of the island at mid-day especially if you're driving your own car. Traffic could be horrendous even before the BKE viaduct and without any loo nearby, things could be rather or more disastrous. Pack some food with you for that reason and it best if the children are sleeping all the way through BSI on the other side of the causeway.

| Look so wonderful @ night time. Damn next time I should come at night. (I'm taking this from the internet. So the right remain to its rightful owner.) |
It was smooth. I guess nobody was entering the CBD at this hour and after some rerouting (thanks to this Garmin stuff...) we were there at the entrance of the park. There are three entrance to three different car parks on the park, the Meadow etc entrance, the visitor facility entrance and the other one has one peculiar 'satay' name on it. We park at the visitor center, not many cars were parked yesterday, I guess it still too early.
| Its all about the eco-system/sustainable. Those beneath the surface I guess. (I'm taking this from the internet. So the right remain to its rightful owner.) |
There's an elevator and escalator near entrance A and both will bring visitor straight to the lobby. We didn't managed to find the elevator and we end up walking through the ramp out of the basement parking lot. It's a park anyway, so we did expect some work out just to make things worth it (lol).
The park is humongous. The main attractions are of course the Supertree, there are domes full of plants, a skyway, Chinese, Malay and Indian themed gardens and so on. The good thing was that, the plants were so fresh amid the scorching Singapore's sun or maybe because it's still early in the morning.
| The skyway. Well, 5 dollars should worth the experience. (I'm taking this from the internet. So the right remain to its rightful owner.) |
We spent more than an hour loitering in the park and move just before the scorching sun unleashed its ray. It was a wonderful visit and I do plan to visit this attraction again. Mind you that most of the attractions here require some amount of fee, so if you wish not to spend any dollars here, loitering around should work just fine. There is MRT line nearby (Bayfront if I am not mistaken). The park is situated just opposite the MBS and Merlion etc (those must see + snap Singapore's icon), so working out itinerary in and around the area should work out very well.
More information? Google-out and you'll definitely found those with loads of information compared to this one. Peace.
