Singapore Botanic Gardens

If there’s one spot you can never go wrong with, it’s the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Having been around the city of Singapore for a staggering 150 years, it covers a humongous 82 hectares of space which includes land, roads and beautiful flora, ever so pleasing to the eyes. The one part that stands out is definitely the Palm Valley which is packed with dense trees and vegetation with little spaces to make the experience ever so cosy. Head over to SGB on a bright, sunny day and get back home rejuvenated and ready to start the week afresh.

You wouldn’t have come across a botanical garden on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites but it all changed in 2015 as Singapore Botanic Gardens made the cut. And once you visit the tropical gardens, you’ll understand why.

Featuring thousands of species of plants, lush greenery, and intriguing attractions like Ethnobotany Garden, National Orchid Garden, Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden, and Ginger Garden, this place is a haven for nature lovers, bird watchers, or even those who love a simple picnic.

To get to know the gardens up close, we recommend taking the tour and signing up for their interactive events.

Located in the newly created Tyersall-Gallop Core of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, The Learning Forest was designed to combine with the pre-existing rain forest.

Take a walk along the intricate network of boardwalks and elevated walkways that allow you to explore a variety of habitats, from a freshwater forest wetland to a lowland rainforest.

Make sure you allot enough time to see the Wild Fruit Trees Arboretum, Bambusetum, and Bark of Trees if you have a bit of green thumb.

The Gardens showcase the best and most spectacular of tropical flora, including more than 10,000 types of plants and the region’s most significant living collection of documented palms, orchids, cycads and gingers.

A great walk around and at times, enjoy the live music being played (weekend) There is a pretty good fusion restaurant Fusion Spoon. For halal restaurant, one may try The Halia - their food is pretty good. Good place to bring your children for a walk and get in touch with the nature. I recall a gigantic tree situated near The Halia restaurant. Check it out!

Fabulous place to stroll leisurely or power walk or anything in between. Gorgeous flowers, trees and lots of birds, fish, etc to see. Be sure to try one of the yummy cafes, eating places there, too. Don't miss Orchid Garden - minor charge but well worth it.

A great place to have a picnic, a walk and just enjoy nature. I would highly recommend a visit!

Best place to find your inner peace!

The night stroll on week nights is a good experience if you want to be alone with your thoughts.

With the yellow and blue lines fully operational, it's also so much more accessible.
