Mandai Orchid Garden

The highlight of this privately owned orchid garden, established in 1951, is the stunning view of an orchid-filled hillside. Over 200 varieties, including the national flower Vanda Miss Joachim, are cultivated here, and its gift-wrapped orchids are cheaper than in the city centre. But it’s probably only worth a trip if you’re a keen horticulturist or also visiting nearby Singapore Zoo.
