The main feature of the Singapore Botanical Garden is National Orchid
Garden. This garden is home to 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids of
orchids. Within this garden are several divisions that house the different
types of orchids in their correct environments. Burkill Hall houses many
hybrid orchids the VIP section contains those named after notable
visitors. The Orchidarium is the place for true orchid enthusiasts and has
only natural species on display in a tropical setting. Fragrant orchids like
Vanda Mimi Plamer can be found in the Tan Hoon Siang Misthouse. Other
sections include, Lady Yuen-Peng McNeice Bromeliad House and the
Coolhouse, which holds orchids that would be seen in tropical highland
forests.

Within the grounds of the Singapore Botanical Garden you will also find a
small rainforest. The rainforest is older than the park itself. You can also
visit the Evolution Garden in the core of the garden. It tells the story of
the evolution of plant life on Earth throughout the ages. There are also
three lakes, Symphony Lake, Eco-Lake and Swan Lake all within the
Singapore Botanical Garden.

If you have children, you may also want to check out the Jacob Ballas
Children's Garden. This is a fun place for children to explore, learn, and
have fun. It is Asia's first children's garden and has a water play area,
playground, tree-houses, a maze and more. There are plenty of
opportunities for young minds to grow interactive exhibits that show how
photosynthesis works, how plants are used for dyes, herbs, and
beverages. One very interesting feature of this garden is the sculpture
named the "Mystree". From afar it appears to be tree however as you get
a closer look it is revealed to be made up of 500 human figures forming
the tree.
