Opening Hours
Daily: 5.00am – 2.00am
Opened in 2021, Kingfisher Wetlands, sponsored by Kikkoman, brings nature closer to visitors in the heart of the city. This freshwater wetlands in the city centre was created to enrich wildlife habitats and make opportunities to get closer to Singapore’s biodiversity more accessible to the public. Kingfisher Wetlands was home to more than 200 native mangroves and related plants, and a popular spot for some birdwatching.
As part of the Gardens by the Bay’s next phase of development, the Kingfisher Wetlands precinct will be expanded as part of the new Wetlands by the Bay, a nature-based attraction to be developed in tandem with the new Bay East Garden and Founders’ Memorial. Spanning about five hectares, Wetlands by the Bay will have over 600 mangroves and coastal plants, tripling the current collection. The expanded landscape aims to provide more habitats for wildlife and demonstrate how urban wetlands can support biodiversity and contribute to climate solutions.
Alongside these habitats, visitors can look forward to new ways to experience nature, from an elevated canopy boardwalk to community green spaces and waterfront dining. A new immersive experience developed by international art collective teamLab will take visitors through the freshwater wetlands in a multi-sensory journey between indoor galleries and the outdoor landscape.
To facilitate the development works, access to most parts of Kingfisher Wetlands is temporarily closed. Wetlands by the Bay is projected to open progressively from end 2028.
