Swimming turtle inside the Singapore Botanic Garden

A turtle in a small water body inside the Singapore Botanic Garden. The turtle was an instant magnet for children, with the enclosure fence surrounded by children (some on the shoulders of their parents, when they were to small to see over the fence). People had to drag their children away after 5 minutes or so, so that they go and see the other parts of the Botanic Garden, and there are a lot of items to see in the Garden (Orchid Garden, Cool House, Rain Forest, and many other such attractions, all waiting for people to come and see).

The Singapore Botanic Garden is one of the famous landmarks and tourist attractions of Singapore, and is also a great attempt to showcase nature and diversity. The garden is a large place, covering a space of 82 hectares. The garden was originally setup in 1822, was closed in 1829, and then re-opened in 1859. Entry to the garden is free for visitors, although entry to the National Orchid Garden inside the Botanic Garden does cost Singapore $5 for entry. Inside the Botanic Garden, you can also see a number of families who come there to relax and sit down, a sort of picnic. The garden is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. The garden has around 10,000 species of flora within its precints.
