What’s on

Petals of Friendship

Trot into a vibrant, magical wonderland at Gardens by the Bay, as My Little Pony takes over Floral Fantasy for the first time ever. Beloved ponies, like Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, will be reimagined as stunning floral displays, in bold rainbow colours and soft, dreamy pastel hues. Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance will also make royal appearances, against a regal castle backdrop inspired by their home, Canterlot. What better way to ring in the Year of the Horse? Tickets start from $16 for children and can be purchased here.

Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity

Gallop, trot, saunter, amble – however you’re planning to enter and welcome the Year of Horse, do it in style at Gardens by the Bay. To honour this year’s zodiac sign, the Flower Dome transforms into an opulent and elegant Chinese-inspired landscape that draws inspiration from the traditional gardens of the Jiangnan region. The highlight of the display is eight life-sized horse lanterns that are handcrafted using techniques that date back thousands of years to the Tang Dynasty. The showcase of the majestic four-legged creatures is inspired by the classic Chinese art motif, Ba Jun Tu, and is meant to represent strength, vitality and success. Surrounding the spectacle are the “Four Gentlemen”, a collective of plants that appear in Chinese art and philosophy. Be mesmerised by the delicate blooms of plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo, amongst spring’s vibrant seasonal flora like dahlias and azaleas. As you stroll through the moon gates and pavilions, don’t forget to also beat the Blooming Drum of Spring to bring about some luck and prosperity into your life.
