How do you get from Clarke Quay to Gardens by the Bay?
Take the MRT to Bayfront station, then use Exit B and follow the underground linkway into the Gardens. The station is served by the Downtown and Circle lines, and its station codes are CE1/DT16.
Once you reach Bayfront, cross Dragonfly Bridge or Meadow Bridge to enter the Gardens. Exit B serves both Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, so follow the Gardens signs through the linkway rather than stopping at the hotel complex.
The Gardens also has an entrance from Gardens by the Bay station (TE22) on the Thomson-East Coast Line, through Exit 1.
For other local connections, getting around Singapore from Clarke Quay covers more transport options.
What can you see in the outdoor gardens and Supertree Grove?
The outdoor Gardens and Supertree Grove give you space to walk among the landscaped grounds without choosing a conservatory ticket. The OCBC Skyway and Supertree Observatory are separate paid attractions, so decide whether you want to add one of those to an outdoor visit.
For a view from among the Supertrees, the OCBC Skyway has its own admission charge. The Supertree Observatory is another separately ticketed option. Prices differ for non-residents and Singapore residents, and there are child and, for residents, senior rates.
If you want to combine the Gardens with a walk through the city, the one-day walking route from Clarke Quay to Chinatown provides a separate way to plan time around the neighbourhood.
Which conservatories and tickets should you choose?
Flower Dome and Cloud Forest are covered by a combined admission ticket, while the OCBC Skyway and Supertree Observatory each require separate tickets. Flower Dome and Cloud Forest admission costs S$46 for non-resident adults and S$32 for non-resident children aged 3–12.
Singapore-resident prices are S$34 for adults, S$29 for seniors aged 60 and above, and S$26 for children aged 3–12. Check the official site before you go because admission details can change.

How much time should you allow?
Allow time for the outdoor grounds as well as any paid attractions you plan to visit. The Gardens’ ticket choices make it possible to focus on the conservatories, add a Supertree viewpoint, or combine those visits with time outdoors.
If you are fitting the Gardens into a day that begins around Clarke Quay, plan the MRT journey first, then leave the rest of your schedule flexible around the attractions you choose. No visit duration for the Gardens as a whole is stated, so avoid treating a single time allowance as suitable for every itinerary.
Before setting out, check the Gardens by the Bay website for current admission prices and practical details.
