Visiting the Gardens

You can visit here almost any time of the day as it opens at 5 am and closes at 2 am. But remember that the expansive park requires a full day of exploration to visit all the attractions. After a tiring day of exploration to spend the relaxing night, Somerset Liang Court Singapore might be an accommodation choice to consider. Being one of the hotels near Clarke Quay it is easily reachable from the park.
