Things to do in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

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

Wow! …this place is just beautiful. The word ‘gardens’ rather understates what this place is – there are so many different areas illustrating different plant life – evolution garden, rain forest, palms, healing garden, sun garden, fragrant garden, bonsai garden etc ...and there are also beautiful lakes and open spaces. It occupies a vast area and there is so much to see so we advise arriving early to give you enough time to enjoy and fully explore this attraction. Time constraints meant that we didn’t visit here when we were in Singapore last year and so it was on the top of our ‘must do’ list on this visit. It is so beautiful – well laid out and beautifully maintained and cared for. The National Orchid Garden is located in the Botanic Gardens and is a mass of so many different shapes and colours of orchids – you don’t know what to look at first! There are several cafes and restaurants dotted around the site (we had mid-morning tea/coffee and also a delicious salad for a late lunch at Bee’s Knees). A really enjoyable experience.

Different colorful varieties of orchids .Takes little more than an hour to go around and look at all the wonderful orchids .Well maintained garden .Entry fee is around 5 SGD.Best to take a GRAB cab directly to the entrance closest to the orchid garden otherwise the walking is a bit too much .Visited the place in October, it was extremely humid and the heat was unbearable .Better to carry an umbrella or check the weather forecast since the weather is unpredictable .The place is worth the visit if you love flowers and greenery , compared to the other expensive tourist sites the entry fee is very reasonable .They have an memento shop with different showpieces and key chains etc with preserved orchids .The counter staff are quite rude.

This garden is only for Adults who are accompanied by kids. So you will not be able to go in without a child. Lots of nature, sand pit for sensory play, the water play area is currently under going a remake from what we saw. Tree top walks and a picnic area to eat lunch or have a short break. Lots of nature based play areas like the peek-a-boo box. There is a reception area where they share some booklets and maps for kids to use to interact with nature. The day we visited they were having an activity for kids to join for free! Just be sure to bring your own water bottles!
