82-hectare grounds with a swan lake and sculptures
Fantastic place to visit for both locals and tourists. This is a world heritage site with lots of old trees. Do not forget this is also a wildlife park with lots of wildlife around. So do be careful when you are walking near the trees. As I spoted a Paradise Tree Snake while walking. Remember do not disturb wildlife, they will not disturb you.
We visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens on our family trip and it turned out to be one of the best parts of our stay. Entry to the main gardens is free, which is rare for a place this well kept. The paths are clean, shaded and easy to walk, even with kids. The National Orchid Garden is worth the small ticket. The orchid displays are colourful and very well arranged, and it's a great spot for photos. The kids enjoyed the open lawns and the lakes, where you can spot swans, turtles and fish. If you have young children, the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden is a must. Tips: go early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat, carry water, and wear comfortable shoes because the gardens are big. The Botanic Gardens MRT station drops you right at the entrance. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommended for families, couples and anyone who needs a break from the city rush.
An absolute gem, something for everyone, orchids, rainforest, and sections for a large variety of plants. it's is also the home of the nation orchids gardens, there is an entry fee for the orchid gardens but the gardens themselves are free. It's a huge area and a few visits are required to do it justice. There are plenty of seats in shady places to rest as you walk around and at least 4 cafes to fuel up.
This was our first visit here. I recommend going as early in the morning as you can due to heat and humidity. It is a wonderful space full of beauty and a wide variety of trees and plants. Allow plenty of time for your visit as there is a lot of ground to cover . Highlights The National Orchid Centre opens at 8.30am and is a must to visit . Incredible variety of orchids . Beautifully air conditioned gift shop. Only $S3 for over 60’s. The metal swings inside the Botanic Gardens were great fun to sit on The Swan Lake was serene It was lovely to see people practising t’ai chi The park never felt crowded and the atmosphere was tranquil and relaxing The cleanliness was impeccable Free admission but you can donate via a QR code if you choose to The rainforest area was wonderful and authentic
Just lovely. I saw hundreds of orchids. A pleasure to meander around and explore the gardens. There are little nooks to sit and ponder; just be in the beautiful setting. I recommend planning your visit before. It’s a big garden and you could spend all day there.
