Singapore Botanical Gardens

Our last day in Singapore was only half a day so we headed off early to the Botanical Gardens.  Since the gardens spread over 183 acres we choose to explore the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden in particular.

The Mystree.  The sculpture was designed by Zadok Ben-David and contains more than 500 figurines.

The Magic of Photosynthesis station.  There were several platforms that teach you each stage of photosynthesis as you wind it up.

I don't know what fruit this is...does anyone know?  They were huge!

Another suspension bridge!

There was also an amazing playground, splash park, a hedge maze and educational center.  So much to explore!  After the botanical gardens we went and had brunch with Bob's coworkers and then it was off to the airport.  We only spent two days in Singapore but had a blast.  Next time when Ethan is more into zoos we will definitely have to check the night zoo and the bird park.
