Getting the star treatment

Singapore Botanic Gardens joined the ranks of famous attractions like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Empire State Building in New York when it was awarded the Michelin 3-star rating in the first Singapore edition of Michelin Green Guide. It was assessed according to the renowned travel guide’s star-rating system, with 3 stars being the highest accolade.

Living up to its status as a world-class attraction, the Gardens continued to enhance its amenities. An improved entry precinct leading to the Visitor Centre now sees smoother traffic flow and more parking space, while a wireless taxi-calling system at the Botany Centre provides greater convenience to visitors.

Building on its botanical assets, the Gardens also expanded its living collection with over 1,480 new species and added more than 1,980 specimens to the Herbarium.

Visitors can look forward to new botanical features like Healing Garden and Learning Forest in future.
