Christmas Toyland Floral Display

The holiday season is back!  Set aside the annual Christmas light up at Orchard Road, Gardens by the bay has its own unique celebrations as well. Bring the kids and start your evening at the Flower Dome to experience a magical wonderland where a dazzling Christmas Pyramid takes centre stage.

See if you can spot Poinsettia, Christmas rose, Winter heather and Holly among coniferous trees imported from New Zealand.

Did you know that the traditional German wooden carousel decked with toys is the tallest structure set up in the Flower Dome to date. It will also act as a stage for live performances on selected weekends.
