Afternoon tea

by TonyBagnall

Several of the big hotels do afternoon tea - sandwiches (with no crusts on), cakes etc etc all washed down with lashings of tea. Delicious! We went to the one at our hotel, Goodwood Park Hotel. There was a good selection of tasty morsels. You help yourself so you can really pig out if you like. Service good although having someone pour tea for you is a strange experience (they treat it like it's a bottle of wine in a restaurant). They have a chocolate fountain, so you can dip tropical fruit straight into melted chocolate - yum!Live piano music too.

Nite Safari

by shinobu

The night zoo is a wonderful experience. You see all the animals in dim light that approximates moonlight. They don't allow flash, so pictures might not come out that well, but you are really close to the animals. In some cases (deer, bats) they have to ask you please not to touch them! The tram is very expensive ($8/person), but you have to take it because at least half of the exhibits are only visible from the tram. Some people complain about the "intrusive narration" on the tram, but I thought the guide was extremely helpful in spotting animals and showing us where to look. There is a live guide on every tram, and they run every 5 minutes. Be aware that the next to the last seat is high because it sits over the rear wheels, so avoid the seat behind it (the last seat) - it is low and you can't see as well. Don't miss the bathrooms in the restaurant area - they are spectacular!

Zoo, Birdpark, Night Safari

by timotee

For those who are planning to go to the Singapore Zoo , Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari, do note that you can save on entrance fees by buying a pass called "Park Hoppers Special".This pass covers admission to 2 or 3 of these attractions.It's cheaper than buying admission tickets to the attractions separately. Buy this pass at any of the attractions.Check outhttp://www.zoo.com.sg/visitor/rates.htmhttp://www.birdpark.com.sg/visitorinfo/index.htmhttp://www.nightsafari.com.sg/visitor/rates.htm

Snakes, Tigers and Elephants??

by cwhit21

The Singapore Zoo. Just like any other zoo I guess. Should go and check it out, its worth the trip. Just make sure to bring alot of water. Dont forget the Night safari. Thats even better, but dont wear yourself out during the day zoo like I did. Singapore Zoo closes around 6pm and the night zoo opens 730 I beleive. Cost is $25 sing for adult for both zoos. Oh ya dont eat the nacho cheese.. bleh

Singapore Philatelic Museum

by pattayaraj

Located at the junction of Coleman Street and Armenian Street. This museum took me back to the history through stamps. All exhibits gave me a lot of resources and fun. And if you 're a stamp collector, all souvenirs in the museum shop 'd be the most attractive stuffs. For me,I 've got some postcards of Singapore in the old day. Opening hour:Monday : 1 pm - 7 pmTuesday to Sunday : 9 am - 7 pmAdmission:$3.00 for Adults $2.00 for child (3-12 years)

Jurong Bird Park

by Tina-Perth

When you visit Singapore Zoo, make sure you go across the road to the Jurong Bird Park. I recommend you buy the Park Hoppers Special, as both places are worth seeing.Shows run all day, everyday, weather permitting. Shows include bird feeding and chatting with the Lorikeets in the large aviary. Birds actually land on you and eat from your hands, a great experience!Open everyday 9.00am - 6.00pmAdmission - Adults $14.00, children $7.00 Panorail Ride - $4.00 $2.00 Disabled - Complimentary Admission PARK HOPPERS SPECIAL (Admission Only) BirdPark + Zoo - Adults $20.00, children $10.00 BirdPark + Night Safari - Adults $25.00, children $12.50 BirdPark + Zoo + Night Safari - Adults $30.00, children $15.00 Take the MRT to Boon Lay Station and transfer to SBS number 194 or 251 at the Boon Lay Bus Interchange.

Singapore's Secrets

by walterwu

The Pasir Panjang Labrador Park revealed it's long hidden 2 secret tunnels built by the British during World War II.Impressive brick built tunnels with 4 feet thick walls and curved roof.No Picture taking was allowed in the tunnel.As for the Labrador Park's beach, you can skip this section. It's has been redone with no historical value left.http://community.webshots.com/album/371297985vdefPr

Fort Canning Park in the city

by picknick

Fort Canning is the most historic part of Singapore. Malay and Chinese historical records point to this hill as the centre of a kingdom that arose around AD1300. The royal palace of ancient Malay rulers probably stood on the summit of this once "Forbidden Hill". Begin your 14th century walk near the Keramat Iskandar Syah.

HSBC Treetop Walk

by picknick

The HSBC TreeTop Walk (HSBC TTW) is the highlight of several long hiking routes in MacRitchie that brings you through different stages of mature secondary forest. The first of its kind in Singapore and in the region, this free-standing suspension bridge connects the two highest points (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and offers a bird’s eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest canopy. The total length of the walkway is about 250m and its height from the forest floor varies, with the highest point at 25m.
