ranging from species in cool, temperate climates to tropical forests and
habitats.

Flower Dome houses thousand-year-old olive trees and Baobabs and a changing floral display.
Supertree
Grove is a vertical plant display which comes to life at night with
a spectacular light and sound show.
Home of
the famous Singapore Sling at the famous Raffles Hotel- Following the turn of the century in colonial Singapore,
Raffles Singapore was the gathering place for the community and Long Bar was
the watering hole. Unfortunately for the ladies, they could not consume alcohol
in public, and fruit juices and teas were the preferred choice.
The talented Ngiam thus saw a niche in the market and decided to create a cocktail that looked like a fruit juice, but was actually infused with gin and other liqueurs. Masking it in pink gave it a feminine flair and together with the use of clear alcohol, he cleverly led people into thinking it was a socially acceptable punch for the ladies. With that, the Singapore Sling was born.
