10 Things to Do in Singapore That You Shouldn't Miss
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Yes, you can get to this from one of the auto accessible gates, but I arrived here after walking a few miles of trails in the Singapore Botanical Garden. Either way, this is an exhibit that should not be missed...gorgeous orchids in picture perfect displays and in the way they would grow naturally in the environment. Wonderful even if you don’t love Gardens or flowers; but I love both and had the best time here. Many families were there and having their picture taken in the places designed for the purpose and just about anywhere: everyone was having a great time. Don’t miss this beautiful garden...totally clean and you finish with a gift shop (not that much different than the one at Gardens by the Bay) that will allow you to buy classy souvenirs of your trip to Singapore. Don’t miss out!

Plenty of walking. Good place to get some fresh air and exercise away from the air conditioning and restuarants.

This national park is open daily and features beautiful lakes, animals, flowers and plants, including one of the region's first rubber tree orchards.

Outside of Japan, outside of Australia , there is no doubt that the Singapore Botanical Garden (SBG, abbreviation mine) is the best of its kind in Asia.
The fact that it has been around since the 1800’s makes it more amazing. I personally prefer it so much more than Gardens by the Bay.
The British , who used to run Singapore, contributed much with the beginning of the SBG with their steep knowledge on the establishment and the design .
It is a very walkable garden suited for young strollers and kids in “strollers”, and a great place for negative ions.
Culinary delights are made available to refresh the body too.
The foliage and the serenity are prized . Choose mornings or evenings to visit.
The upto 6 year olds should be brought to the relative of the SBG, the Jacob Ballas Garden, for additional outdoor enjoyment .

This is the best experience in Singapore. It is just eye popping everywhere you look. It is amazing to think they only built it in 2012. The combination of flowers, plants, sculptures and layout is just amazing. If you only have time for one attraction make sure you visit. This is better than the partner flower dome.

It is one of the biggest flyer in the world and believe me it is gives an astonishing view of Singapore city , especially Financial District, Marina Sands Bay, Marina Bay, Formula 1 Marina Circuit etc.
It is walking distance from above places which I have mentioned but too much of walk, better to take cab or taxi for coming. Try to reach early as crowd get built up, we were lucky to get in earlier, all tickets are available at the counter so no need to worry on those and all cards are accepted.
Overall a beautiful attraction in Singapore and must visit place.

Observation Deck Soar 57 levels above the heart of the city as you capture the moment of a lifetime at the stunning Sands Skypark public observation deck.
Reviewed By tranzactnow - Perth, Western Australia
Floor 57 at Marina Sands is pretty funky with the infinity pool, bar area and observation desk. We enjoyed our visit and overall felt that it was something we had to see on a trip to Singapore. The architecture is quite something. The pool looks great and the drinks are expensive. Think expensive and then add some more $$$ and that is what it costs. All the same worth seeing.

Orchard Road is a shopper's paradise. There are more high end shops and shopping centers than you can imagine. It's a great place to people watch. Be prepared for crowds of people. It is also a pretty place for a walk because of the many trees and public sculpture. There are the occasional street performers and lots of restaurants of all varieties.
