What's The Best time to Visit National Orchid Garden?

Although the National Orchid Garden is open all year round, visiting the attraction between February and July is recommended. The weather is relatively pleasant, and the orchids are in full bloom, elevating the overall experience. That said, it is also the peak season in Singapore, so it is more crowded than the other months of the year.

To avoid the peak season rush, consider visiting the National Orchid Garden during the low season, i.e., between August and October. Expect high temperatures, and note that this season marks the arrival of the Southwest Monsoon.
