Singapore Botanic Gardens

The best part of this garden is in the historic Tanglin core zone with colonial layout, orchid garden , authentic small rain forest , charming bandstand, lovely Swan Lake , a good place to relax .

Best place to jog and take the kids in Singapore. Jacob Ballas, the lake near Botanic Garden MRT has 100+ turtles and a black swan, red brick walk has a nice incline for jogging.

The best place for walking dogs!There are always so many different breed of dogs and everyone is very friendly and fostered.Also,there are very nice restaurant and cafe , and the garden of orchid is ????

It is indeed the best botanic garden in the world! The rainforest is a must see, it feels like the real Amazon there. And do not leave before taking a walk around the symphony lake . Simply beautiful!!

Spotted the belinjau tree (gnetum gnemon) near the Red Brick path, whose seeds are flattened to make a bitter but addictive local cracker/snack by the same name (or paddy oats or malinjo)

Garden sculptures . They add beauty to the garden . See if you spot Girl on a Swing , Swing Me Mama & Chang Kuda, amongst of the foliage -- some hidden right in front of u ;-)

Probably the best botanic garden . Very comfortable space to walk and feel the nature. Don't forget to take water and umbrella. Beware of rain. The evolution park is really impressive.

Great place for weekends outdoor activities . The place usually packed with picnickers , wedding photographers and runners. Instagram worthy. There’s a few cafe and restaurants you can try here.

This is the largest and well designed botanic gardens I have ever seen. Definitely, need to visit this attraction while in Signapore. It could take all day to go through the attraction .

Beautiful place for an early morning sojourn - after 10am can be a bit hot. SG own world heritage site: http://accidentalsingaporetourist.blogspot.sg/2015/07/accidental-tourist-in-singapore.html?m=1

This isn't the spot of the first botanic garden in Singapore . It was actually opened by Sir Stamford Raffles on Government Hill at Fort Canning Hill in 1822. Source: NParks

For history buffs, don't miss the Heritage Museum , near the Tanglin Gate Visitor Centre, and the Heritage Garden next to the Sun Dial Garden

Great gardens fairly close to Orchard Rd. Don't miss the National Orchard Garden ! Enter from Botanic Garden station. Exit at Tanglin Gate and take any of the busses to Orchard Rd in front of the Gate.

Amazing place for nature-lovers. Can spend the whole day there. Be sure to bring plenty of water, there are so many corners to explore.

Spend a day exploring The Singapore Botanic Gardens. Founded in 1859, it was recently designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it the first and only tropical botanic garden on the list.

Huge, huge, huge. And wonderful! If you'll get lucky you can meet a dragon somewhere here. :)

What a gem in Singapore! Must check out the orchid garden ($5 admission totally worth it), the Fragrance garden and the Herbs & Spices garden . Avoid during wet weather.

Visit "Food Canopy" near visitor centre at cluny end. It has a green roof n hawker stalls of local food. Abt 5 min walk fr visitor centre where casa verde cafe is. Ask for directions at visitor centre

So much bigger and nicer than penang's botanical garden . A really good place for picnic ???? and family occasions. ???? Spent 2h+ and haven't finish exploring the garden yet.

Spend the extra $5 to go to the orchid gardens ! Def worth it. Try to make it for one of the outdoor symphony concerts too!

The Gardens are a great place to relax and go for a stroll or jog. Evolution garden , sundial garden , ginger garden , the lake - it's all good.

Perfect all day long. Morning and evening is perfect for running, the days for walks and picnics . Some good restaurants available as well . Sundays can be busy.

Come here for a picnic ! There is a playground for children! There is a Swan Lake and many types of flowers !

There are 3 drop-offs (Botany Ctr, Visitor Ctr, Jacob Ballas) & 7 gates: Tanglin gate fr Holland Rd, Nassim gate fr Evans Rd, Bukit Timah gate fr MRT station & 4 gates along Tyersall Ave-Cluny Park Rd

Spend an afternoon here wandering through the greenery . Pay for the orchid garden , it's absolutely worth it!

Beautiful place with huge variety of plants and views — from orchids to tree walks and lakes . If you’re lucky you also see some monkeys and other animals.

Plenty of open fields for stargazing. 1. Near Eco Lake , 2. Symphony Lake , 3. Swan Lake , 4. the Bandstand

Massive garden , the turtles are a must see in the stage lake .

Such a stunning place. UNESCO heritage site, definitely worth a visit. Entrance is free, only the orchid gardens are subject to S$5 fee.

The oldest recorded tree in Singapore is this Tembusu tree , reportedly 159yo in 2011. To locate it, look for a fence around a tree , with part of its branches supported

Be on the look out for wildlife on the Gardens grounds. One may just cross your path ... literally.

Too large not to walk around all over there in 1 day. I like ginger flowers n singapore national flower orchid. Most of all Botanic Gardens is free.

One of the biggest palm trees I've come across. Behind the Heritage Museum near Visitor Centre at Tanglin Gate

Singapore Botanic Gardens, a sprawling nature park , is home to a collection of over 1,000 orchid species and 2,000 hybrids and a rainforest presenting the epitome of botanic beauty and diversity.

Beautiful place..love it you can bring your dogs too

Estimated time to spend here is 2 to 3 hours. Come on Saturdays for a free guided tour , which starts at Nassim Gate. More information on the free tour is available on nparks.gov.sg.

Not my favorite gardens in general, but the orchid garden is worth the trip. Definitely aim to arrive early morning to avoid the heat (8-10am is a nice visit)

Did u know? Bamboos are giant grasses. Check out the Gardens ' collection on the Cluny Road section, near the Eco-Lake

Huge and very well organized . Extremely humid, you'll sweat a lot!!! National orchid garden is spectacular.

If you make it all the way to Singapore, don't miss the amazing Botanic Gardens . Free. Off the MRT. Stroll for hours and soak it in. Heavenly.

This one of the most peaceful and greenest gardens that Singapore has to offer. Located at 1 Cluny Road , this is the best place to take that early morning walk and even some tai-chi. Opens at 5 am.

Magical and very tranquil. Go on a weekday after 6pm where it's all quiet except for few hardcore joggers. Enjoy the crickets and silence :)

Great place for picnics and lazy Sundays. Can be crowded and hot. Hang out at the gazebos to escape the heat. Note: bring drinks and food!

While here make sure to visit the National Orchids Garden . With hundreds of different varieties, its a green thumb's dream! Bring a blanket and stay for the concerts in Palm Valley.

Good shoes , sunscreen , hat and stamina... Go after 3pm, and have the whole garden to your self.... Almost.

It may not be as great as garden by the bay . But you still get to see lots of plants and enjoy the sense of nature.

The big tembusu heritage tree - the tree where kids love to climb and hug and just to sit around, has been cordoned off. We just noticed it during our last trip on Sa

No wheels of any sorts allowed (cycling, skating/blading, scooter). They turn a blind eye when it's toddlers on a kiddy bike :-)

A must visit in Singapore. Full of greenery , lake , fishes , tortoise. It's got a beautiful view . Specially during evening hours.

Beautiful place for a walk and bring visitors. Great children's playground . Orchid garden . Interesting evolution garden .
