Play: Fairy Tales Unfold at TulipMania @ Garden by The Bay

The last time we visited Flower Dome @ Garden by The Bay is about 2 years plus ago, when I am still pregnant with boy boy... Time flies, boy boy is now 28 months old, big boy already.

From now till 10 May 2015, Garden by The Bay will be displaying tulips with fairy tales theme.

Entrance tickets can be purchased on-site or you could skip the Q by purchasing the tickets online. This time round, we only purchase the tickets for Flower Dome as we had visited the Cloud Forest before. After payment is made, an email with barcode will be send to ur email and we just need to present the email at the entrance and upon scanning the bar code, we enter the Flower Dome, very fuss-free and no need for ticket collection :)
Some video and photo display before entering the main Flower Dome display area

There is a booth just at the entrance to the Flower Dome which gives out free paper crown for all the princess and prince out there. There is also a staff helping visitors to take photos at the main entrance.
Us at the entrance!

Kiddos with the white orchid... look how big En Xin has grown...
We spend some time admiring the flowers at the permanent flower exhibitions and took some nice photos as well.
Nice hydrangea :)


And then it is time for fairy tales to unfold ....

And the tulips.... they are so pretty especially the half bloom type... 

Since we have not had the chance to see tulips in Holland in spring, Garden by The Bay did a good job bringing them to us :) Definitely one of the best theme at Garden by The Bay...

Tulips...
Love the yellow one...especially those not in full bloom

Before we leave, the windmill greets us goodbye :)

It is a nice exhibition overall, covered and with air con in the conservatory so one could visit the Flower Dome throughout the day, whether it is sunny or rainy. 

Flower Dome is open daily 9am-9pm and the Tulipmania exhibition will be until 10 May 2015, so make your way down if you would like to enjoy the spectacular display of flowers :)

After the trip, we had lunch at Bakerzin which serves good Aglio Olio and Carbonara. 

The outside of the garden which house the SuperTree Grove is free of charge and it is nice to walk around as well, especially in the evening or at night.

Play: It is all about the nature-Fun at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

We were supposed to be re-painting our house this weekend but didn't manage to do it ... so ended up at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden for a fun half day out!

Located at a separate entrance just next to one of the Botanic Garden entrance, Jacob Ballas is a huge playground with lots of fun activities for kids. This garden is designed specifically for children and although it is free to enter, one could only enter when accompanied by kids (which is entirely the opposite for most attractions whereby kids can only enter when accompanied by adults)


Sign board at Bukit Timah Road
We were lucky and found parking at the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden car park. Alternatively, one could park at the NUS Bukit Timah Campus car park.

At the entrance, we could still spot the Christmas decorations, which haven't been removed....

Merry Christmas decorations!
There is also a Kidz Cafe at the entrance should anyone wants to have a bite before or after visiting the park.

Visitor Information
Upon entering the park, nature greets us. We could see lots of plants everywhere and well maintained. Some of the trees have board to explain the name of the tree and some information on the tree.
Entering the park

Chanced upon this Saga Tree. I used to love picking up its seeds when i was young and haven't seen this tree in ages. Quite excited to see the tree....and love the information provided.

Did you know that 4 saga seeds equal to 1g? 

Well, I didn't until I read the explanation on the board next to the tree!

Kids excited too... looking for the saga seeds
Looking for the seeds patiently!
Yay! Saga seeds...
Mini hanging bridge suitable for kids. Pretty safe! Of course we did it with adult supervision :)

Tree house with slides, and sand for the kids to play...

Bought bubbles stick for the kids to play while we are there...

Loves bubbles!

Found this fig tree as well... so cool. I didnt know this is how the figs grows on its tree! And there is lots of them!!!



Close up figs!
Our last activity of the day is playing with its mini water fountain. We save this activity to the end so that after playing, we can clean the kids up and go for our lunch!



We had a great day and we love how the kids can have plenty of different activities (sand playing, slides, mini water fountain). Best of all, lots of things to see and learn in the nature (picking up saga seeds, observing fig plant). Weather is quite good as well cause the trees block most of the sunlight so it is quite cooling despite being there till noon time!

ADDRESS:
481, Bukit Timah Road

OPENING HOURS:
8am-7pm
Close on Monday (unless it is a PH)

Entrance fees: FREE
