Firstly, there are the SuperTrees. They are tree-like structures which height range from 25 to 50 metres. They are vertical gardens and will provide shade and shelter, which is especially important for a tropical country like Singapore. They will also be embedded with sustainable energy and water technologies, like collecting rainwater on the roof, which are integral to the cooling of the Cool Conservatories. At night, these SuperTrees will come alive with lighting and projected media. People might even be able to eat and drink on the roof of the SuperTrees.
Secondly, the Cool Conservatories is an architectural icon that houses many varieties of plants and trees. It showcases sustainable energy technology too. Since it is located in an enclosed space, visitors do not have to worry about the weather. It will provide an “edutainment” space within the Gardens, a combination of education and entertainment, where people can rest and relax and also learn more about plant biology. It will consist of a “Cool Moist” Conservatory taking up 0.9 hectares and a “Cool Dry” Conservatory taking up 1.4 hectares of space, and will display plants and flowers from the Tropical Montane and Mediterranean environments.
Thirdly, the Horticultural Show Gardens, taking up 2.6 hectares of land, will showcase the best of tropical horticulture and garden artistry. It will be made up of 'Lion Grove', consisting of a cluster of SuperTrees, 'The Orchidetum', a luxurious garden showcasing orchids, 'Pride of Singapore', a cluster of beautiful gardens and flower displays representing the very best of Singaporean horticulture and 'Global Garden Display', a mix of both permanent and temporary themed gardens in and around the entrance plaza to the main buildings that represents global awareness of horticulture and plant conservation.
Fourthly, the Plant Edutainment Gardens, taking up 2.5 hectares, is a combination of education and entertainment, and will focus on the theme of “Plant use by Man”. They will provide an interactive display of the 'economic plants' that have contributed to the development of Singapore and Southeast Asia for education.
Also, there will be a Flower Market, taking up 2.8 hectares of land, which will eventually be the main entry precinct into the Gardens. It will consist of an indoor events space, retail and various food and beverage outlets.
Lastly, the Main Events Space will be a 2 hectare event lawn with a stage. It can host up to 7,000 people during international and national events.

. There are a few main attractions at the Marina Bay Gardens:
Firstly, there are the SuperTrees. They are tree-like structures which height range from 25 to 50 metres. They are vertical gardens and will provide shade and shelter, which is especially important for a tropical country like Singapore. They will also be embedded with sustainable energy and water technologies, like collecting rainwater on the roof, which are integral to the cooling of the Cool Conservatories. At night, these SuperTrees will come alive with lighting and projected media. People might even be able to eat and drink on the roof of the SuperTrees.
Secondly, the Cool Conservatories is an architectural icon that houses many varieties of plants and trees. It showcases sustainable energy technology too. Since it is located in an enclosed space, visitors do not have to worry about the weather. It will provide an “edutainment” space within the Gardens, a combination of education and entertainment, where people can rest and relax and also learn more about plant biology. It will consist of a “Cool Moist” Conservatory taking up 0.9 hectares and a “Cool Dry” Conservatory taking up 1.4 hectares of space, and will display plants and flowers from the Tropical Montane and Mediterranean environments.
Thirdly, the Horticultural Show Gardens, taking up 2.6 hectares of land, will showcase the best of tropical horticulture and garden artistry. It will be made up of 'Lion Grove', consisting of a cluster of SuperTrees, 'The Orchidetum', a luxurious garden showcasing orchids, 'Pride of Singapore', a cluster of beautiful gardens and flower displays representing the very best of Singaporean horticulture and 'Global Garden Display', a mix of both permanent and temporary themed gardens in and around the entrance plaza to the main buildings that represents global awareness of horticulture and plant conservation.
Fourthly, the Plant Edutainment Gardens, taking up 2.5 hectares, is a combination of education and entertainment, and will focus on the theme of “Plant use by Man”. They will provide an interactive display of the 'economic plants' that have contributed to the development of Singapore and Southeast Asia for education.
Also, there will be a Flower Market, taking up 2.8 hectares of land, which will eventually be the main entry precinct into the Gardens. It will consist of an indoor events space, retail and various food and beverage outlets.
Lastly, the Main Events Space will be a 2 hectare event lawn with a stage. It can host up to 7,000 people during international and national events.
