    Beautiful garden (about $10 entry) located inside the Singapore botanic gardens
    We pre-purchased tickets ahead of time via Headout because it was slightly cheaper. We were also afraid tickets would sell out. It turned out we didn't even need to because the garden was not crowded. However, it was also raining that day but because we already booked the tickets, we had to go on that specific day/time slot. This also meant I couldn't use my student ID for a discount since those tickets need to be purchased in person. We arrived on a Wednesday at around 3:40. The gardens are located inside Singapore Botanic Gardens. It is a bit of a walk so make sure you leave enough time to explore the botanic gardens as well. We spent about 45 minutes in the orchid garden. Even though it was raining, it was still beautiful - maybe even more so. It gave it a very tropical look/feel. The only thing annoying about that was just that we had to carry around our umbrellas the whole time, but there were still plenty of photo ops. Had it not been raining, we would probably would have spent a bit longer there because we did kind of rush through. If beautiful gardens is your type of thing, you definitely need to check out the National Orchid Garden.

    Lovely visit
    Lovely visit, the gardens are beautiful and such a great selection of orchids. Who knew you could have an orchid named after you. Very well maintained, neat, tidy and very clean. Good gift shop, snacks available. Well worth a visit

    Highly recommended
    Located within the Botanical Garden which is free entry, There is a small charge to enter the Orchid Garden. I personally think it is worth it. Anyone over the age of 60 and with identification there is a massive discount. It is really worth exploring and enjoy the peacefulness of the garden and learn about native orchids.

    Outstanding Orchids - must visit if you love flowers.
    Stunning orchids everywhere. The garden is great value ($15 adults; $3 students for tourists), and the park is beautiful. Take a photo of the map at the entrance past the ticket entry booth (and I’ll post a picture here), as it’s quite complex. You have to walk up (literally - it’s on a hill) to the National Orchid Garden inside the Botanical Gardens; the MRT Botanical Gardens is a 1.2 km walk, but through the gardens to the National Orchid Park. (Napier MRT is approx 700m away; but not as nice a walk). Our favourite areas were “the cool room” and “VIP” section - right at the top of the garden. Wonderful place to visit.

    A real treat for orchid lovers
    Fantastic orchid gardens - they have to be seen to understand the effort that has gone into curating them. The Cool House in particular is spectacular. Add a nice stroll through the Botanic Gardens and you can fill an afternoon. Use the Napier station on the new TE line - it’s on Orchard Rd near the Tanglin Gate.

    Such stunning flowers
    Never have we seen such an amazing display of orchids, particularly impressive as so many are outside. But the best display of all was in the cool house at the bottom of the garden. We were wowed by the huge lengths of the flower stems on the plants there. Most definitely worth the entrance money.

    Beautiful gardens and amazing orchids
    Our second visit to this lovely park. Well laid out, and some new areas we hadnt been to before. For over 60s, take your ID, as you can get in for 3SD (instead of 15SD). A lovely couple of hours spent there.

    Unique Gardens
    Set within the Botanic Gardens and subject to a separate fee is the orchard garden which was abounding in beautiful flowering plants, some of which we recognised such as the bird of paradise. The star of the show is the extensive range of beautiful orchids. There were a couple of sculptures here including some small fountains and some large bees. We greatly enjoyed the coolhouse. This simulated a mountainous environment which made it a pleasant reprieve from the warmth and humidity outside. This climate produced some unusual orchids including carnivorous plants and delicate ones like the Princess Shoe. Highly worth a visit.

    Superb
    If you love orchids then this is the place for you. There is a charge to enter - S$15 for non-locals or only S$3 if you're a senior. The garden is extremely well maintained and it's apparent that 'replanting' occurs fairly regularly. The variety and colour of the flowers is wonderful. Lots of paths lead one through the various sections of the garden. Make sure you check out the cool house which recreates a mountainous terrain and temperature. Cool in a couple of ways! Some amazing orchids in this section. Well worth a visit. Lots of photo ops as well.

    Amazing orchid displays
    Collection of orchids over a large expansive garden, with mainly outdoor and some indoor displays. Can spend a couple of hours in here around the orchids. There are pathways, through there are also steps to get to the higher gardens areas… take water.. and go early.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Botanic Gardens (free) plus the Orchid Gardens which had an entry fee 13 SG$(?). Pleased to find that over 60s entered for 3 SG$. Fabulous display of orchids arranged through gardens and orchid houses.

The Botanical gardens are stunning. Especially the orchid gardens. Make sure you visit the cold house and the ginger garden.

Amazing garden within a garden.
The variety of orchids was amazing.
The cool house was definitely the highlight of the trip in itself, worth the entrance fee.

While a small admission fee is required - it is well worth it.

There are so many types of orchirds to see. And there were plenty of gardeners on active duty maintaining the displays throughout the garden. It's clear a lot of thought and effort have been placed into maintaining the displays.

The Gardens also have put up a lot of detailed information on the orchids on large signs. This included their process of growing the orchirds all the way to flowering.

The Sembcorp Cool House was a special highlight. So many displays in this uniquely built cool house, so even flowers that wouldn't usually survive in Singapore's heat can still be viewed here.

This has to be one of the most amazing gardens in the world. We visited late afternoon and there was hardly anyone else there. Everything about it is just amazing, although there could be a few extra places to sit down and admire the orchids. This is a "must visit" attraction.
We took a "grab" taxi to the Tyersall Entrance (only c. 200m walk to the Orchid garden) and afterwards walked around the Botanical Gardens which are also immaculate, leaving via the Nassim Entrance. The open top bus also goes to the Tyersall Entrance and is an alternative option for visitors.

If you love orchids this is a must visit. The displays are so beautiful you don't know where to look. There is also an extensive indoor display which is a welcome break from the heat.

For any gardener, visiting Singapore, this place is a must. With thousands of orchids, you can wonder for hours looking at the flowers. There are orchids in every shade of the rainbow. Good gift shop and the gardens are easily accessible via walking through the Botanical Gardens. Just get the MRT to the Botanical Gardens MRT Station then follow the signs.

having being there before i was very surprised to see the big change made to the orchard house as it is now a closed in glass house and airconditioned. So good. My grandaughter whom i travelled with is not usually a flower person but she was so amazed at the variety and colours of the orchids. well worth seeing again and again.

If you’re into Orchids this is a great place. I was able to see different types of orchids. Easy walking path. Arrived at 11am on Wednesday. Not many people there. One group of 15 was walking around as I saw. We took a taxi there from Orchard Road versus taking MRT and having to walk 15mins or so. Taxi ride was only S$9. We finished and as we weee waiting for taxi it was pouring rain luckily we were under the covered area.

Had been to botanic gardens a few times in past but had never visited the orchid garden - so pleased we did. Much bigger than we expected and beautifully laid out. So much effort has gone into making the most lavish gardens. The greenhouse was a nice cool contrast to the humidity. There is a fee but it is only $3 for seniors (got to be some advantage to getting older!). Definitely recommend.
