About Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

The Jacob Ballas Children's Garden, located within the Singapore Botanic Garden, is Asia's first (four hectares) and largest garden dedicated especially to children! The garden's abundance of educational and recreational facilities makes it a great place for kids to spend a day in nature.

Designed for children aged 14 and under, the garden features an orchard, a farm, and a forest complete with its own ponds and a stream for youngsters to play, explore, and indulge in adventures. It provides a variety of activities in its distinct zones to meet the needs of all kinds of kids, from budding naturalists to daring explorers. Families visiting Singapore can also explore this enchanting garden as part of the best Singapore tour packages, ensuring a memorable experience for both children and adults alike.

The garden has eight zones: Play, Explore, Grow, Learn, Orchard, Farm, Stream, and Forest. While aspiring naturalists can take a stroll along the stream and climb into treehouses, young adventurers can have fun at the suspension bridge and nature play areas, and urban gardeners can learn about plant growth and gardening techniques! There is a cafe located south of the gardens where they can satisfy their hungry tummies with a tasty and healthy meal after a day of fun in the sun!

If you're looking for a fun and educational place for your kids to learn and admire nature, let them spend a day pretending to be a gardener, an adventurer, or a naturalist at the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.
