What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the vibrant beauty and tranquility of the Orchid & Hibiscus Gardens, highlighting them as a peaceful escape within the city. The diverse collection of flowers is a major draw, offering stunning visual appeal. However, some find the gardens can get quite hot during midday, and facilities might be limited.
"Very nice area to walk in. Lots of beautiful flowers and trees along the paths. Good area for a laid back outing."
Jonas Schubert Erlandsson
"Visited again after a few years. It was closed for upgrading works post COVID. It's no longer bedecked with orchid plants and flowers. Before there were orchid plants and flowers everywhere, now there are so few... Perhaps the Garden should be given to the people who specialise in orchids (orchidists) to get it back to its prime. A far cry from before... But it's free entrance."
Caroline Tan
"Not a huge exhibit and only a fair number of species in bloom on display. Water features and landscaping are interesting. Quite the large park and much to see. 4.5 stars, a great destination for orchid fans and those into gardens."
