Gives a great feeing to be here on a holiday or in the mornings to really feel at one with nature. Has lovely running tracks which blend into the nature and one can run around the reservoir for long runs. Marvellous.

A beautiful oasis in an otherwise bustling city, this attraction is easily reached with a short walk from the subway station. By mid moring many of the joggers are already returning from their workouts on the various circuits. There is a small eatery (Mushroom Cafe I think.. near the start: basic cafe food, no awards for gastronomy), and the rubbish... More

I couldnt believe there is a jungle in the city and when I walk for 11km in MacRichie Reservoir then I have to admit that Sg is not all about Orchard road. There are wild landscape, beautiful lawn, lakes, natural trail, monkeys, birds... you keep walking and keep being surprised!

We went to the MacRitchie nature trail in March 2013. Beautiful scenery-we didn't go on any of the walks as we ran out of time, but if I went back I would. I would reccomend allowign a few hours here-especially if you want to walk around or sit down and enjoy the view. If you feel the heat then I... More

The walkway is a free-standing suspension bridge spanning Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang, the two highest points in MacRitchie. At 25m above the ground, the walkway gives you a closer look at the canopy, where all the action takes place. Here, you also have a better view of some of our forest birds; Colugos (flying lemurs) and Long-tailed macaques (monkeys);... More

Just a $7 cab ride from Orchard MRT this is really worth an outing when you have had enough of the man-made stuff. Make sure you pack your walking shoes and LOTS of water and do the 11km circuit up to the tree-tops walk and back. About half way round there is access to a ranger's station for water top... More

Best to go early morning or later in the after noon when the sun is not so hot as it can get very hot there.

It is quite far from city, but transportation in Singapore will lead your here easily. Weather is unpredictable. Sometimes raining and then sunny ! You should prepare umbrella ! There are lush everywhere. Good for picnic. There are not many activities to do here except experiencing beautiful nature and fresh air. You will like it. Just go and try !
