The Gardens was originally developed along a 3-core Concept. The three cores comprised Tanglin which is the heritage core retaining the old favourites and charms of the historic Gardens; Central, the tourist belt of the Gardens; and Bukit Timah, the educational and discovery zone. NParks has also announced the creation of the upcoming Learning Forest Core, which is located at the Tyersall area and designed to integrate into the Gardens’ existing rainforest to form an enlarged forest habitat. The Learning Forest will be progressively opened to the public from 2016.
Each Core presents an exciting array of attractions. Take your time to stroll around the Gardens and enjoy the wonderful sights, sounds and wonders the luscious greenery offers.
