POLLEN Singapore

Had our wedding anniversary dinner here, with the Chef's menu and absolutely no regrets. The service was impeccable, food was great and well plated, wine was good. My husband and I enjoyed the little breeze from the complimentary buggy ride to this restaurant too! Looking forward to more surprises from the chef!

Celebrated my birthday here and the restaurant was practically almost empty when we arrived around 1:30pm. There’s just one other couple seated near us. Service is excellent and they provided detailed descriptions of what was presented in-front of us prior to consumption. Thereafter, was led out through the other side of the restaurant leading into the flower dome. Nice touch!

Treated by bestie to this superb tasting menu 🤤 enjoyed most of the dishes very much! Never a dull dish - every dish looked exquisite, well thought of and well explained by the waitress. Starters, smoked eel, duck neck were especially memorable. Punctuality for buggy service can be improved, also another patron “jumped Q” but driver did not rectify issue on the spot. Also, a pity they closed off the entrance to the dome during cb phase 2 dining.

An absolutely amazing experience. The service, atmosphere, and food were all excellent. The dishes were creative, well prepared, and very tasty. Not a cheap place but totally worth it for a nice meal. The tasting menu, in particular, was a great combination of dishes and all were great. We will definitely be back.

Well deserved fine dining experience. We tried the course meal and it's amazing where you get to taste the story of the chef especially Sand+Sea which is impressive. The service and ambience is great on fine dining standard. Overall worth on special romantic occasion.

Enjoyed a lovely Afternoon Tea with lovely patisseries and snacks here. It was all so tasty. We especially enjoyed the lotus root chips (and parsnip chips) served with carrot cream, and the small cakes and the savoury cheese ball. The restaurant has a nice variety of teas. My refreshing Bavarian Mint tea was great too 😊 The place is a bit crowded, but that’s all. 😊

An unforgettable experience. We had the chef's experience menu - it was a 9 course gastronomic experience and service was impeccable. Each dish was an experience and we really loved how the plating kept to the flora gardens theme. Enjoyed every dish and dessert was a dream.

Delicious Mediterranean-themed 3-course tasting menu ($118). Ambience is beautiful as the restaurant is situated within the Flower Dome. The piped music, however, was a little loud and didn't fit the ambience. Attentive and efficient service. Great place for a date or special occasion.

Decked out for Christmas is the perfect time to check out the flowers. The Flower Dome is part of the Gardens By the Bay complex. I recommend buying a multi ticket for a discount. The ticket agent was great help, asking what I wanted to see and what I might not be interested in. Then she created the perfect package. She also offered the advice of starting in the Tree Tops as it was a beautiful morning to take advantage of, and you don't want to be up there when it rains. Huge thanks. The dome is a massive indoor botanical garden. It hold the Guinness record for largest glass greenhouse. As I entered I decided to just tour counter clockwise. Passed through the Australian, South African, South American gardens, then the flower field, Mediterranean, and Californian gardens. All the plants were well marked and described. Then an hour break at Hortus for a snack and a glass of wine in a beautiful setting. Finishing with the bottle trees, succulent garden, and Christmas display. The holidays are a great time to travel and experience how others celebrate. The Flower Dome created a fun winter wonderland with gnomes, villages and tons of colorful flowers. Definitely a great place to visit.

One of my favorite things we did while in Singapore! I recommend doing all of Gardens By The Bay bc it's such a cool and unique experience. There's so much to see and it's also air conditioned so it's a nice break from the heat. Highly recommend charging your phone before you go bc there are so many great photo ops!

What a beautiful place to explore, and it doesn't hurt that it's inside away from the heat and the rain. Bought a ticket to this and the cloud forest combined, but enjoyed this much more. Spent over an hour here, just walking around and exploring all the beautiful displays. It was crowded but not annoyingly crowded. I definitely recommend checking this out.

Leaving the Cloud Forest and walking next door was a nice change. It is always to look for tickets for both attractions as you will save a few dollars. The flower dome was definitely a little warmer that the Cloud Forest. Perhaps it was all the water and misting in the Cloud Forest. Walking around I was a little disappointed maybe because they were in the middle of changing the displays that enhanced the attractions. I think there was a focus on roses which unfortunately I have seen nicer and larger displays in Portland, Oregon. I guess from the point on I was a little underwhelmed. I was hoping to see more exotic varieties of flowers. Still it was a nice attraction and I recommend it to anyone interested in flora.

This was a great place to explore away from the scorching August heat. The dome looked very large, but it only took about 3 hours to explore the entire place. There were plants, trees, and flowers with amazing sculptures all over the area. It is also pretty crowded, even on a weekday.

We visited the Flower Dome after visiting the Cloud Forest with a combined ticket. It was a Thursday at almost 5. It wasn't unbearably crowded but there was quite an amount of people around that time. At the time we went (September 2022), there was the "Hanging Gardens: Mexican Roots" exhibit going on. I have nothing to compare it to, as this was my first time visiting the Flower Dome, but the displays were very extravagant and colorful. Although it was more colorful than the Cloud Forest, I still preferred the Cloud Forest. Flower Dome was more crowded and more touristy. Lots of Asian Aunties taking selfies with flowers (although, I myself am guilty of this too from time to time) All in all, we probably spent about 20 minutes or so in there before we just couldn't take it anymore. If you have time for both, then you should do both but you just need to figure out the right time to visit without the crowds. If you're pressed for time, then you can probably skip the Flower Dome.

Came here instead of the Cloud Dome as there was a special Avatar exhibit when we were in Singapore and we didn't want to pay the premium ticket to see avatar. The flower dome was nice but fairly small and like other reviewers said, there surprisingly aren't that many flowers. They group the garden by region but generally the varieties weren't great and there was plenty of cacti and wild grasses as well. They did have a Christmas tree display though so may be good for kids who are excited by the decorations.

(4) ~ very good overall that you need tickets for and houses flowers from around the world.

There were lots of pretty flowers and cool plants, but the main rose attraction in the center was so crowded that it was difficult to enjoy. I wish we had come here before the Cloud Forest instead of after because the Flower Dome was not as impressive.

The Flower Dome is one of the two domes at the Gardens by the Bay that you can explore. The fee is nominal. If you enjoy flowers, plants and botany, you will like the Flower Dome. The dome is sectioned out to areas that are location specific for the flowers and plants on display. I am not a huge fan of flowers but I did find the Flower Dome to be impressive. I think my friend and I spent at least an hour inside the Flower Dome exploring and taking pictures. I even found a Winnie the Pooh and Piglet statue! Explore the dome in the day to escape the heat from outside. Find a secluded bench and rest for a bit to take in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Then go back outside to explore more of Singapore!!!

If u love flowers, this is not the place for u!!! Yes, it's called the flower dome, but don't be fooled like I was. Sadly, there are more trees, cacti, shrubs, & weeds (yes, I said it, weeds) here than flowers. Definitely a smaller dome compared to the cloud forest, which isn't a bad thing, but pretty disappointing to think u're going to the flower dome to get ur senses filled with an abundance of gorgeously aromatic flowers only to find yourself nose deep in prickly cacti!! Great effort by designers with the set up and xmas theme, but more flowers would have been appreciated. If u wondered why I only took one flower picture. Now u know!! Savor it!!!

In Singapore when it is so hot and humid, going to the Flower and Cloud dome are a great escape from the heat! The beauty of the flowers and different seasonal installations makes this place always new and different when I visit. I would highly recommend coming here and Cloud Dome if you come to Singapore!

This is basically a very nice botanical garden. I think in general, I learned about myself that I don't particularly like botanical gardens. This was just recommended in one of the attractions to see during your visit to Gardens by the Bay, so I decided to buy a ticket and check it out. I felt the international plants very boring. However, I found to LOVE the dahlia garden they had. There are over 40 varieties of dahlias apparently, and I believe that this Flower Dome did grow what felt like all 40 of them. They had different species which covered every color, texture, size that you could find. Pretty awesome. I did also enjoy the California plants at the way top (but I'm biased, I'm from California). The temperature in here was actually quite colder than expected - 60 degree F? How do the plants grow in here?! This was worth skipping this exhibit out of the 3: Cloud Forest, OCBC Skyway and Flower Dome (all the ones I heard that were highlighted). We could have walked through this whole thing within 20 mins honestly.

As I got older, I love plants and flowers so I had to make sure I had to come here while in Singapore. This was so worth it but it made me envy being in Asia that these unique and tropical plants are only available here and not in the US. I loved the succulent section. You can tell by the pictures I took. It made me want to garden again when I get home. The flowers arranged at this place were very unique as well. Taking pictures gave me ideas what to do when I get home. I did notice this dome was very cold inside as well like the Cloud Forest dome. I wonderful how they survive with the AC?! Totally, worth my advance purchase. Make sure you visit here while in Singapore! [35/100]

One of the attractions within Gardens by the Bay, Flower Dome boasts a wide variety of plants under one roof. Flower Dome has various areas that feature plants from different species and regions. There's an area for succulents and an area for plants from South America, Australia, etc. I think the seamless compartmentalizations of these plants was done brilliantly! Everything flows together and a walk here is like a refreshing stroll through a fantastic garden. I went here during the summer and it didn't seem overcrowded. I enjoyed its features without having to work my way through a crowd. There's also a lot of photo spots and the staff is nice enough to take your photos for you. My only wish is that they have a larger variety of plants and improve upon their California Garden section. I would recommend visiting this attraction if you're in Singapore!

If you buy the bundle that includes the Cloud Forest, I would say that it is worth it to come here. However, I do think that if you do come to both, you should do this one first and the Cloud Forest second. I did the Cloud Forest first and was slightly underwhelmed by the Flower Dome when I came in. There are different sections representing plant-life from different areas of the world. I understand that it's probably based on availability and carefully curated to have a nice variety but I didn't think that any section was particularity gorgeous. I did enjoy the cactus section the most but maybe it's because I'm a bit biased and love cacti. I also went when there was a Christmas display with Santa or something in the middle and that may have affected the charm of the place (with many people taking LOTS of selfies.) However, I will say that the price to enter can't be beat and is well worth the value.

We purchased the Two Conservatory" pass, which included Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Good thing we also got a chance to see Cloud Forest, because Flower Dome was disappointing. More plants than flowers and nothing truly remarkable. Many of the plants can be viewed daily where I happen to reside (in Phoenix, AZ, USA), so maybe that contributed to the disappointment, but I just was expecting a bit more color from the Flower Dome. ***THREE STARS***

For $16 entrance fee, I personally thought the follower dome did not disappoint. I love flowers and I like that the flower dome had a wide range of plants, arranged nicely and organized into different sections based on where they are found in the world. If you like succulents, make sure to go to the right when you enter the dome. There are cute Alice in wonderland sculptures, too! When you get down to the bottom of the dome, the orchids are arranged in nice beds and there are even orchids arranged to look like caterpillars. Of course, the orchids are the most impressive, but it's definitely worth walking through all the rows of other flowers too. I like that they attempt to educate visitors about plants and sustainability, but I don't think many people read the signs. Oh well.

B4 C19, locals incl myself used to complain how this exorbitant S$3.5b project is a waste of public fund. After C19, no huan wish comprening

An oasis of calm in the midst of the bustling CBD of Singapore. They have different exhibits depending on the season like cherry blossoms, tulips, rose festivals etc. Go early or during the weekdays to avoid crowds.

While the Flower Dome exhibit was impressive, it was kind of hard to compete against the Cloud Forest exhibit that we went to before this. The flowers and plants here were of a great variety. But, it didn't wow me as much as the Sakura Matsuri exhibit, which we happened to accidentally get to see since it was during the time period their exhibit started. This exhibit alone was worth the money. The cherry blossoms were beautiful and vivid with their spectrum of pink hues. I couldn't get enough of seeing and taking pictures of these gorgeous flowers. I also really enjoyed the re-enactment of the Torii Gate from Japan and walking through these gates. A definite plus was also that this was an indoor exhibit with air conditioning. Thank you, Singapore. Because this exhibit was combined with the Cloud Forest in one ticket, you have to go to both exhibits anyway. My advice is if you go to Gardens by the Bay, make sure you know the exhibit you want to go see at the Flower Dome. That way, your combined visit of both exhibits is worthwhile. Enjoy!

Got our tickets as a packaged deal with the cloud forest, we went to the cloud forest first then came over to the flower dome. It was a bit disappointing, lots of plants not as many flowers, the great part is the AC keeps it nice and chill keeps you safe from the heat outside. I would recommend buying your pass together with the cloud forest and coming here first then to the cloud forest.

A part of me wasn't as impressed with this place as I was with the Forest Dome. Maybe because it was packed full of people due to a flower festival that was on at the time, or maybe because the flowers at the Botanic Gardens were much better and that this place simply seemed to be a poor comparison. Mind you, since it was in a single dome meant that there was really only one climate in here, and that was the climate of the dome. However, there were lots and lots of flowers - actually heaps of flowers - so if you like flowers then you are going to be amazed at this place. However, the crowds that were wondering through here did put me off somewhat.

"Beautiful" Located in the Gardens by the Bay behind the Marina Sands. It is next door to the Cloud Forest. It has some beautiful flowers and gardens from around the world. It pails in comparison to the Cloud Forest which is amazing.

A nice place to hang out, especially if you are buying a bundled ticket with Cloud Forest anyway. You can also enter for free if you dine at Pollen before/after your visit. It was nice in the morning, when there were very few people, but when we returned around 6pm it was so packed that you could barely move.

For a nature photographer this place is amazing. Lots of photo opportunities as well for social media users and to immerse themselves in the flowers. There are tons of flowers and the succulents were beautiful.

There is an extra fee for this part of the Gardens By the Bay. This is really beautiful and interesting, but if you had to choose between this and Cloud Forest, you would want to do this one another time, because Cloud Forest is better. Still worth it if you were planning and paying for both.

The Flower Dome at the Gardens By the Bay is beautiful. I absolutely loved the many different types of orchids and it's vibrant colors. There is a nice section of them. There was also arrangements made into a caterpillar which I thought was pretty neat. There was a section with Alice in Wonderland characters which I really loved. I'd say take your time strolling through there and really enjoy the beautiful flowers they have. It was pretty busy when I visited but that was to be expected since it was summer.

I wanted this to be better - it's huge, supposedly the largest glassed garden in the world (although maybe that's no longer true) and it contains a huge variety of really interesting stuff (like baobabs, which I'm completely unfamiliar with). However, even more so than the Cloud Forest next door, I feel like this attraction really falls down with the lack of information it presents. I wanted to learn more about what I was seeing. And yes, as I said in my Cloud Forest review, I know this isn't the Singapore Botanical Gardens, but I still think they could have done a better job of teaching the viewing public. That aside, this is still a cool thing to see, if only just for things that don't grow where I live. However, if I had to pick one of the two attractions, I think I would pick Cloud Forest over this.

I really like that this is a family friendly place, most especially that we were able to bring in our baby's stroller.
