As part of its next phase of development, Gardens by the Bay will introduce a new space, Wetlands by the Bay, marking a new chapter in the Gardens’ evolving offerings and creating additional spaces for visitors to enjoy and explore.

To be completed in phases, Wetlands by the Bay will feature:

1) Expanding the Footprint of Kingfisher Wetlands 
There will be more than 600 mangroves and coastal plants at Wetlands by the Bay — tripling the current collection at the Kingfisher Wetlands precinct and strengthening biodiversity within the area.

2) Cantilevered Canopy Boardwalk 
A striking cantilevered canopy boardwalk will extend over the Kingfisher Wetlands, offering visitors an elevated, over-water encounter with nature. The boardwalk will also enhance connectivity between Gardens by the Bay MRT station and key attractions within Bay South Garden.

3) New Dedicated Area for Events and Community Activities
A new community space, Glade Lawn will serve as a dedicated area within Wetlands by the Bay for events and community activities for visitors to connect, relax and recharge.

4) A New Immersive Nature Experience 
Together with international art collective teamLab, multi-sensory pedal kayak experience will debut at Gardens by the Bay in their flagship museum. Blending installations with natural landscapes, the experience will take visitors on a journey through wetlands habitats.

Construction for Wetlands by the Bay is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with progressive opening targeted by end 2028. It will open in tandem with Bay East Garden, collectively offering visitors an integrated and immersive experience as they explore the waterfront gardens around Marina Reservoir.

Additional Background Information

Wetlands by the Bay is part of the next phase of Gardens by the Bay’s development. It has been 13 years since Gardens by the Bay opened in 2012, and it is timely for a major new nature-based attraction, developed in tandem with the new Bay East Garden and Founders’ Memorial, as well as the bridge linking Bay South and Bay East Gardens.

Taken together, these new attractions will enhance the Marina Bay precinct, creating an exciting and world-class waterfront experience.

Wetlands by the Bay fulfils Gardens by the Bay’s dual objectives to be a national garden for Singaporeans to enjoy and must-visit destination for overseas visitors. It is a destination by itself with mass appeal, and will bring city-dwellers closer to the wetlands experience – in line with Gardens by the Bay’s mission to make nature appealing to a broad audience.

teamLab flagship museum offers the first-of-its-kind, immersive and multi-sensory paddle kayak experience amidst a wetlands setting that can only be experienced at Gardens by the Bay.

作为下一阶段发展的一部分，滨海湾花园将推出全新空间“湾畔湿地”，开启花园产品与体验演进的新篇章，并为游客创造更多可尽享与探索的空间。

“湾畔湿地”将分期建成，并将具备：

1）扩大翠鸟湿地（Kingfisher Wetlands）范围
“湾畔湿地”将种植超过600株红树林与滨海植物——使翠鸟湿地片区现有植物数量增至三倍，并加强该区域的生物多样性。

2）悬挑式树冠栈道
一条醒目的悬挑式树冠栈道将延伸至翠鸟湿地上空，为游客提供高架、临水的自然体验。该栈道也将加强滨海湾花园地铁站与南湾花园内主要景点之间的连通。

3）全新活动与社区活动专用空间
全新社区空间“林间草坪”（Glade Lawn）将成为“湾畔湿地”内专供活动与社区活动的区域，供游客相聚、放松与充电。

4）全新沉浸式自然体验
与国际艺术团体teamLab合作，多感官脚踏皮划艇体验将在滨海湾花园其旗舰博物馆中首度亮相。体验将装置艺术与自然景观相融合，带领游客踏上湿地栖息地之旅。

“湾畔湿地”的施工计划于2027年第一季度展开，目标于2028年底逐步开放。它将与东湾花园同步开放，共同为游客在滨海蓄水池一带探索滨水花园提供一体化、沉浸式体验。

补充背景信息

“湾畔湿地”是滨海湾花园下一阶段发展的一部分。自2012年开园以来已过去13年，此时推出重大全新自然主题景点恰逢其时，并与新的东湾花园、建国元勋纪念园，以及连接南湾与东湾花园的桥梁同步推进。

综合来看，这些新景点将提升滨海湾片区，打造令人振奋、世界级的滨水体验。

“湾畔湿地”实现了滨海湾花园的双重目标：既是新加坡人可尽享的国家花园，也是海外游客必访的目的地。它本身即是具有大众吸引力的目的地，并将使城市居民更贴近湿地体验——这与滨海湾花园让自然对更广泛受众富有吸引力的使命相一致。

teamLab旗舰博物馆提供独一无二、沉浸式且多感官的脚踏皮划艇体验，置身湿地环境之中，唯有在滨海湾花园方可体验。
