Orchard Road might be hailed as Singapore's premier shopping destination, but it is also bursting with dozens of garden-topped malls and indoor-playgrounds. One may even come across a beautiful library at this place. Here are some of the coolest things to do in Orchard Road.
Now, this is a fine place to take your kids during your stay at one of the Orchard Road hotels – it doesn't matter what age they belong to. Forget about kids – you'd even be able to relive your childhood or get in touch with your inner child (whatever you'd want to call it) when you indulge in the activities provided here. This is a massive space where you will be introduced to 28 interconnected trampolines – just think what fun you could have at this place by bouncing and doing cartwheels to your heart's content.
Located close to Grand Park Orchard is the SCAPE Mall, and on its rooftop, you can have the ultimate gardening experience at a farm that is owned by ComCrop. If you're new to the concept of hydroponics, here, you'll be able to witness its fascinating ways of growing plants without the use of soil – the plants seem to simply thrive under sunlight and mineral-mixed water. The harvest here is distributed among many hotels in the region, allowing tourists to indulge in healthy and delicious meals.
Bookworms wouldn't mind seeking solace at a library during their tours in Orchard Road. Right near the Orchard Gateway, you may come across a classy and picturesque library that's indeed a tranquil oasis in the midst of the bustling crowds at this place. The immaculately white and curvy shelves have given the insides of the library a luxurious quality which makes it a lovely place for you to take a couple of photographs as well.
