Really nice place nestled close to the centre of Singapore. Lots of varied areas to stroll through and plenty of seating to take a break. Reasonably priced restaurant in there too. Free of charge so very much worth visiting to de-stress from the hustle and bustle. Taxi fare is minimal from anywhere in central Singapore.

Singapore's version of Holland Tulips ... a must visit venue for flower lovers .... Do bring along your macro lenses for some of their interesting exhibits from micro 1cm sized to 30cm flowery

I go to the botanic gardens for running, to play with my kids and to eat out. The gardens are perfectly manicured. Great place to spend time in Singapore

Beautiful gardens, lots of benches to sit and appreciate, quite a collection of plants and trees, labeled so you know what you're looking at. The gardens are separated into areas, free maps show where everything is. All is free, except the National Orchid Garden.

Frankly we (wife, 10 year young daughter and me) expected a lot, perhaps, due to other gardens previously visited, including many in India; but were a bit let down by the actual visit. Getting around, like anywhere in Singapore (and by public transport) is a breeze, with the MRT exiting right at its gates. What is on offer is a... More

The whole garden is really quite nice, but the best part is definitely the Orchid Garden. There is a fee to visit the Orchid Garden, but it is worth the price. Singapore is a beautiful city, but this is an oasis within the bustle of a large city.

The Singapore Botanic Gardens were really lovely. Since we were there on a cruise port stop we did not have time to explore as much as we would have liked, but what we saw was beautiful. It is very easy to get there on the Metra and there is no charge for the gardens, but it is about $5 US... More

You can't visit the Garden City (Singapore) without spending a day at one of the city's beautiful gardens or reservoirs. The Singapore Botanic Gardens are beautiful and centrally located, so they should be just a short cab ride away for visitors staying in the city center. It's free to visit the gardens but $5 to enter the Orchid Garden. It... More
