The Supertree Observatory is located on top of the tallest Supertree at 50 metres above the ground. The Observatory has two main areas for visitors. Right on the top there is the open air rooftop deck which offers an unobstructed 360°view of the entire Gardens of the Bay as well the Marina Bay area.Just below the rooftop deck there is an indoor viewing area with huge full length glass windows and an outdoor pathway. The Supertree Observatory also has The Social Kitchen cafe which serves up some excellent cocktails, mocktails and light snacks while you enjoy the view.
The OCBC Skyway is a suspended aerial walkway that is suspended between two gigantic Supertrees of the Supertree Grove. This phenomenal structure is 128 metres long and suspended from a height of 22 metres. The Skywalk offers a panoramic view of the Gardens surroundings and the Marina Bay waterfront. The Skywalk is also a great place to get a closer look at the Supertrees' vertical gardens. Since the OCBC Skyway is a suspended walkway it sways a little when you walk on it, making you feel as if you are floating on air. In the evenings when the Supertree lights up and the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show begins, the Skyway is the best place to enjoy the show.
