Well there's so many things to do in Singapore I don't know where to start. How about the Botanical Gardens. This is one place I would come back to time and time again. It is very well set out and so peaceful. Hubby and I didn't get to see it all but what we did see was most enjoyable. Leave a Comment

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.

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. Leave a Comment

 orchids up close by trisanna
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

A trip to the Botanical Gardens is not complete without paying a small fee to see the Orchards. This is well worth it. They are beautiful. A new display and new colour around every corner. It's not hard to do heaps of oooing and arring here!! Leave a Comment

The National Orchid gardens is a subset of the larger Botanic gardens but is the most interesting. It is 7.4 acres and includes over 700 types of Orchid from around the world. Leave a Comment

The Singapore Botanical Gardens are a beautifully landscaped green oasis in this the garden city. A cool respite from the hustle and bustle of traffic and people.
A big attraction is the National Orchid Garden which has the largest display of orchids in the world.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens also has a small area of virgin tropical rainforest which is older than the gardens itself.
