This is definitely the best place in the whole of Singapore! I've lived here for 18 years and I still think the Botanic Gardens is the best. When the weather is lovely, it is just...splendid!

Lush tropical gardens

For as crowded as Singapore is, teh Botanical Gardens are a nice break. Bring a lunch, stroll around the grounds. Relax.
One of the best free things (save the Orchids part) in Singapore aside from Bukti Timah.

Love It

Go in the mornings to avoid crowds. Just walk around and enjoy the flowers and the crisp morning air. If you bring bread, you can feed the fish in the ponds in the garden. Plants there is labelled with scientific and common name to cater to those who are interested in botany. Admission is free.

A great place to walk and relax
By Kenneth Yap, 09/04/05
The Singapore Botanical Gardens is a great place to take a stroll in the mornings and evenings. It is free and stroller / handicap friendly. There is no MRT access though.
