If you love nature, you should stop by at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. You can enjoy a picnic at the park. There are free performance at the stage at Symphony Lake. We went for the SPH concert and it was very crowded as the Singapore Idol were performing and it was the President's birthday! Pls visit the National Orchird Garden inside Singapore Botanic Gardens. There are many varities of beautiful Orchids waiting for your visit. The admission charge is S$5. pics of orchids can be found here: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289370147 There is a new food court named Taman Serisi Food Garden. You can find stalls selling from fish soup, crabs, Malay food, roast meat and mixed vegetable rice. They have both indoor and outdoor seats. It gets very crowded during weekends and you can hardly find any seats and the queue for food is very long too.

| | | | Botanic Gardens: Such a welcome retreat from the city | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The botanical gardens is a large park located close to Orchard Road. It is a 15-30 minute walk from the main shopping centres. 10 mins from Tanglin mall. This is a lovely place to relax and admire all the wonderful tropical plants. You have to be in awe when you see the fantastic banyan trees. There is a large swan pond, which has turtles, fish and of course swans. They always appreciate it if you can spare some bread. The highlight of the gardens is the national Orchid garden. For this, there is a small fee. You will see lots of orchids. They even have a section of orchids that are named after celebrities -mostly politicians that pass through Singapore. This place is great for kids, since there is a lot of room in the botanical gardens for them to run around in. On some evenings-there are special performances (mostly Singapore Orchestra). They sometimes show movies at night in the park. There are a few restaurants in the park. A cafe, Au Jardin-a fancy french restaurant and Halia (ginger) a nice cafe/restaurant, which is surrounded by a nice ginger garden. The MRT line doesn't head up this way. For public transportation-the best way to head this way is by bus. From the city-you can take the 7,77,123,106, 502 and a few others. Take the bus to the oppsite Botanical Gardens stop. Just off Holland Road. If you take a taxi, ask to take them to drop you off at the visitor centre at the back. When you leave -you should head out by the holland road exit, since it's very difficult to get a taxi at the visitor centre. The only way to get a cab there is to call one or luck out-as one is dropping others off. Leave a Comment Phone: 1-800-6-471-7300Website: http://www.nparks.gov.sg/parks/sbg/par-sbg.shtml
