Sentosa Orchid Gardens, Singapore

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...also sells some wonderful jewellery. Orchids dipped in gold leaf etc. Useful for gifts to take back home for wives / girlfriends or even for yourself!!. (4) Ø Sentosa Island - Full of attractions but worth getting a pass for entry to several attractions. One whole day is not enough to do the whole of Sentosa! The most scenic way to Sentosa is on the cable car but can also use the ferry or bridge. On one pass can get entry to the following:- The Merlion where at the top you get excellent views of the Port and Singapore. (4) Underwater World - a fascinating experience if you get there about 11 am they feed the fish. One of the largest aquariums in Asia, with over 5,000 species.

...I have decided to write another review after all this time. Please be gentle with me. I have been lucky enough to visit Singapore on four occasions and each time we always make time to visit Sentosa and I would like to share with you why. How to get there Sentosa is approximately 15 minutes away from the city and 25 minutes from Changi International Airport. There are five different ways to get there 1 ---- Walk in via the Causeway bridge this costs 6S$ for adults and 4S$ for children. 2 --- By bus from the ticketing arrivals centre this costs 7S$ for adults and 5S$ for children 3 --- By Ferry from the ferry terminal costs 8.30S$ for adults and 6S$ for children 4 --- By cable car not for the faint hearted from Mt Faber tickets approx 14S$ and 7S$ for children 5 ---Taxi this is how we approached it and had a voucher supplied...

Advantages: Very clean environment. Efficient.Good shopping.
Disadvantages: High degree of social control.

.... Singapore is a good place to eat out.There are numerous Western,Japanese,Thai,Chinese,Malay,Indian and American style restaurants and for local hawker food,try the stalls at Newton Circus. I would recommend a visit to the island of Sentosa,a good place for a fun day out,a visit to the botanical gardens is a pleasant excursion, and if you enjoy horse racing make a beeline for the Bukit Timah race course. For something unusual the figures of Chinese mythology at the Haw Par Villas may interest you.There are several theme parks on the Island ,including the Ming Village,if they are your "cup of tea." Singapore may be small but it certainly is a "Mighty Midget" as a trip to this Island Republic at the heart of South east Asia would soon demonstrate. Do check it out !... Read review
