Before you go

Can I touch the bee hotels at HortPark?

NParks asks visitors not to touch the bee hotels along the bee trail, because that can disturb the bees. Watch from the path instead, where the Indian Snakeweed, Red Leea and Rose Myrtle flowers draw species such as the Pearly-banded Bee. The butterfly garden trails are close by, and there are more than 10 themed gardens beyond them.

Can I fly a drone at HortPark?

Only with approval: to fly at the HortLawn, Hort Centre or Silver Garden you must apply for drone usage at least 2 weeks before the date. NParks does not consider applications sent in later than that, and on-location filming has the same 2-week notice. Allow the notice before you book the flight.

What time does HortPark close and where do I park?

HortPark is open from 6am to 11pm and has one carpark, with 149 car lots and 5 bus lots, where parking fees apply. Commonwealth, HarbourFront, Labrador Park and Queenstown MRT are all listed as nearby stations. We'd treat it as the start of the ridge walk toward Henderson Waves, and set off early.
