Our next day was a little more relaxing. We spent the morning exploring the Botanical Gardens and the National Orchid Gardens. It was hard to believe this oasis of park and colorful flowers was still in the middle of the city. Rather than find another alternative, we caught the Singapore Airlines Hop On / Hop Off bus again. At S$12... more

The National Orchid Garden is in the Western section of the Botanic Gardens, requiring a small entrance fee (5 SGD at the time of this writing). It is worth the price of admission and then some. The NOG is quite large, probably 7-8 acres, with beautiful landscaping. I believe there are over 2,000 hybrids and hundreds of species contained here.... more

I love Orchids and this garden was amazing. Lot and lots of Orchids. There are very beautiful displays and arrangements and its all very well maintained. The only downside was the humidity was very high, much higher than in the city. more

I was in Singapore April 2007. Will be visiting again for a few days end of June 2008. One place I will revisit is the National Orchid Garden! Must be one of the best collection of Orchids in the world! Worth the visit. The Cactus Garden is also worth the visit to the Botanical Gardens. more

The National Orchid Garden is within the Botanical Gardens and is definitely worth a small detour. It is well laid-out, and a quiet, pleasant and peaceful stop. Take your time since it can be steamy, especially at midday. Perfect side trip after shopping on Orchard Road since it is close by. more

There is an information building describing Orchids... more

If you have even the faintest interest for gardening, flowers, orchids - you have to go to the National Orchid Garden whilst in Singapore. I have been there on three different visits, everytime enjoying it equally much. A magnificent selection of orchids of several hundred different species, hybrids and varieties. more

This find is an amazing escape from the hustle and bustle of urban Singapore. Located just minutes from Orchard Rd, these gardens offer a relaxing (if it's possible in 90/90 weather) tour through one of the world's largest orchid collections. I'm not a gardening buff by any means, but I thoroughly enjoyed my hour walk through the different varieties of... more
