What travellers are saying
- JudyDubai, United Arab Emirates9 contributionsIt’s my favorite trekking trail in Singapore.
Not very challenging but taking into consideration Singapore’s humid and hot weather: don’t you worry- you will sweat a lot:)
The trail consist of canopy walks, slightly uphill and downhill treks as well as gentle walks through local parks.
It takes around 1,5 hrs to finish it.
I usually start my trek from Kent Ridge Park and I carry on until Harbour Front MRT but it can be done all the way around.
Also, there is an option to deviate from Hort Park towards Labrador Nature Reserve and have a relaxing stroll there.Written 10 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was truly fantastic and I learned so much. I would recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in Singapore history!Written 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steve W32 contributionsAn interesting experience. It wasn't quite what I expected and it came across as more of Chinese mythology meets Disneyland! However, it was informative and an interesting park to walk around. Although it was open to walk around on a Monday, parts of it were closed. Entrance was free and there is an MRT station just a couple of minutes from the main gate. There is a noticeable incline up through the main gate into the park - be aware of this.Written 17 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hattingh B1 contributionOne of the coolest places to visit in Singapore. It gives such a great overview of what's going on behind the scenes in the city. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Plus, it's free!Written 13 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Navigator578790681631 contributionhey besties, im a student from Singapore Management University (SMU)! decided to check out The Intan because I felt that it was about time for me to enter my artsy and cultural era, and just like i expected, the museum was lit! The Intan gave grace and beauty, and absolutely devoured. the vibes were immaculate, and i was GAGGED the moment i stepped foot inside. the artefacts slayed, and the owner, Alvin, is a KING of yapping and rizzing. to all the sigmas out there, book your appointments now to increase your aura points, and enjoy a GOATED day out at The Intan! The Intan truly is THAT museum.Written 23 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LuigiNewJerseyNew Jersey84 contributionsA beautiful and diverse habitat to visit. The reserve is home to many kinds of plants and animals in the forests and mangroves. We were able to see a monitor lizard, a king cobra, many species of birds, mudskippers, mangrove horseshoe crabs among others. Crocodiles and monkeys are found there, but we weren't lucky enough to see them during our visit.Written 30 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carolynrose61 contributionsEmerald Hill is just off of Orchard Road next to the Somerset MRT station. In addition to the Peranakan architecture there are shops and restaurants. It's a short walk up with beautiful architecture, vibrant colors, and interesting designs. The houses really give you an impression of old Singapore and of days gone by. Do not miss.Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SB01Sonning Common, UK944 contributionsIt’s really remarkable that large wooded areas like this exist in the middle of Singapore’s concrete jungle. We walked anti-clockwise from the visitor centre, across the zigzag bridge and then along the lakeside boardwalk until we reached the golf course, then doubled back through the forest trail. I estimate we walked about 5 miles over a near 2 hour period. We saw several smallish lizards, Kingfishers, turtles, large fish and a very large monitor, that scuttled underneath the boardwalk as we walked over it.
We visited just after rains - the mist rising off the water and through the trees was magical. It cost about S$15 to travel by Grab from the city centre.Written 1 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a children’s playground too if one is coming as a family. It’s a place for all occasions. Bird watching, exercise, barbecue, site seeing, etc. Definitely worth a trip with friends and family.Written 4 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kensington25London94 contributionsI recommend visiting Kranji War Memorial. It is an emotional experience particularly when you are the only visitor in the cemetery.
Seeing the graves of so many young servicemen who lost their lives certainly puts life in perspective.
There are two cemeteries here - a military one and a civilian one.
The cemetery is kept in immaculate condition and cared for by dedicated team who work there.
They were also very helpful and friendly in guiding me to the graves of two former Singaporean Presidents.
I took a taxi from Orchard Road and the journey was about half an hour and cost about $20. I returned on the MRT and it took just under an hour.
I recommend a visit here whether on your own or as part of a tour. I am most grateful to the amazing care takers who take such care of the graves and grounds.
Please do visit.Written 19 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Travel_Girl_ReviewsLondon, UK711 contributionsIt’s hot and sticky but it is well worth it for the views!
The bridge is so unique it’s great to see the architecture. It offers lovely views of Singapore.
Well worth the effort!Written 1 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He tailored the experience exactly to my flying experience. I'll certainly be back again next time I'm in Singapore.Written 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- vkashiahmedabad10 contributionsI am not sure whether to write this review! We liked this place as it was quiet with hardly any tourists. It has spectacular views, although not of the marina bay area. Nice place to spend a relaxing day. Keep in mind that there is a 150 pax cap per day so the place might be closed by evenings.Written 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ongtingyongSingapore, Singapore726 contributionsNice place for photos & picnic.
