name  The Hidden Forest ,  this new attraction was created in collaboration with Japanese creative production company NAKED, INC. It’s known for dazzling, experiential projects like the Naked Flowers Flower, Dance, Light and Shadow Exhibition and Naked Cherry Blossom Festival that skillfully combine art and technology. This time, it brings its magic to Gardens by the Bay’s Cloud Forest, bringing to life the interconnected ecosystem of remote cloud forests and the rare flora and fauna that live within.

The Hidden Forest is now open at the third and fourth levels of the Cloud Forest. In this darkened, mist-shrouded environment, you will get to meet and interact with 17 plants and 16 animals from cloud forest habitats typically found between 500m and 3500m above sea level in regions like Central and South American, southern Mexico and parts of the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, eastern Africa, and New Guinea. The experience is fully interactive too – your movement will stimulate the growth of Cecropia trees (also known as the Tree of Laziness as they provide food for sloths), Monkey-faced orchids, and other plant life found in cloud forests, and touching the walls will conjure sleepy sloths making their slow way along tree branches. Other unusual species may also appear, including the “spectacled” Andean bear with eyes ringed by cream-coloured fur and the threatened Resplendent Quetzal with its emerald feathers.
