Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden is a fun place just for kids. That’s why it’s so popular for playing, exploring, and learning! Only kids 14 and under can go in, and they need an adult with them. 

Over the years, it’s grown a lot. When it started in 2007, it was all about teaching kids why plants are important. Now, when you visit, you’ll see all kinds of plants—flowers, herbs, big trees, and even small forests! There are ponds, streams, and a waterfall, too.

The best part is how they use plants in the play areas. Kids can play on structures made of plants—it’s like playing in a green wonderland where they can learn and have fun at the same time. Let’s dive together with BusyKidd‘s guide to learn more about this wonderful place!

Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden Area

There are eight main areas to explore and three different themes of trails to check out: Adventurer, Naturalist, and Gardener. Even if you’ve been there a bunch of times, there’s always something new to discover! To make things easy, the garden is split into two parts—East and West—connected by two bridges. If you want to start with the East side, just turn right when you enter the garden. Or, if you’d rather start on the West side, turn left. You can get to both sides easily using the bridges.

On the East side, you’ll find the Play, Grow, Explore, and Learn areas. On the West side, there’s the Forest, Orchard, Stream, and Farm. As of May 2024, they’re doing some upgrades to the play area, including the sandpit, maze, and water play. These improvements should be finished by the second quarter of 2024.

The Entrance

Jacob Ballas Children's Garden entrance

As you enter Jacobs Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore, you’ll be welcomed by a stunning sculpture called the Mystree, created by Zadok Ben-David.

It’s a breathtaking sight right at the entrance, positioned beneath a roof opening where sunlight streams in, illuminating over 500 tiny figurines on the tree. When you look up, you’ll see beautiful butterflies on the ceiling, their patterns becoming clear as the light shines through.

Nearby, there are touchscreens with fun activities and info about the park, along with an interactive Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden map to help young visitors plan their adventure. And if you have some time to spare, you can color in a rainbow and leaves while learning about plants!

Remember, bikes and scooters need to stay outside, so leave them at the entrance. And don’t forget to grab the Singapore Botanic Gardens Explorer Map to make the most of your visit!

Main Play Areas

Jacob Ballas Centre has three main play areas, with two located in the Eastern wing and one in the Western wing.

If your child loves sand pits and water play, head to the East for the sand playground, Treehouse playground, and Garden by the Bay water play spots in Singapore. Please note that the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden water play area is currently under construction, but it’s expected to be bigger and better, combining both sandpit and maze elements. As of May 2024, overhead water jets were being installed, creating much excitement for this new play space.

Despite the construction, the Treehouse playground still offers plenty of fun, with two slides, sand play areas, climbing structures, and a chance to feel like Tarzan swinging through the trees.

Similar to the West wing, the Eastern play areas are shaded by giant Indian Banyan trees. The sand playground, although boarded up for now, used to feature balancing beams, raised platforms, and little wooden shelters. Nearby, the beloved hedge maze is also closed off, likely to be part of the upcoming Garden by the Bay water park area. Additionally, there’s a balancing beam made with logs nearby for even more playtime fun.

Exploring & Learning at East Wing

Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

Take your time wandering through the gardens. You’ll find eight different areas, each with colorful signs showing cool pictures, fun facts, and explanations.

For example, at the Play area, near the Photosynthesis play area, there’s a sign explaining photosynthesis. It helps kids understand with pictures and things they can touch!

There are different kinds of plants. Stop, smell, and touch them! Signs say “smell” and “touch” to help kids learn with their senses.

Keep going and you’ll find the Potting Garden and trails into the forests. Look up to see tall trees and green leaves.

Watch how plants grow from the ground and climb up, some with the help of trees.

Near the Treehouse playground, there are Mushroom Shelters that feel like magic.

You can also find a stream where turtles hang out and see plants in the water. There are cave and a waterfall. There are also washrooms and classrooms along the way.

And don’t forget the wobbly suspension bridge nearby! If you’re done exploring the East, cross the bridge to the Learn zone.

Play at the West Wing

On the Westside, there’s a Botanic Gardens by the Bay nature playground with awesome stuff like an elevated swing rope bridge, a flying fox, and climbing ropes.

Kids playing here can get up high and see the branches of the big trees around.

The big hit here is the flying fox, but there’s also a bouncy trampoline for extra fun. Even kids in wheelchairs can join in. Plus, there’s a nest swing for relaxing and swaying gently.

In this part of the garden, you can also explore the Farm, where different crops like corn and basil are growing. Some are kept safe in sheds to protect them from the weather and pests.

You might also see a sculpture of a rumped woodpecker perched up high.

Nearby, in the Orchard area, keep an eye out for fruit trees. You can learn how your favorite soft drink and chocolate are made by spotting the plants that produce those fruits!

And don’t miss the stream nearby! You can see dragonflies and different water plants adapted to living in water there.

Crossing the Boardwalk to Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden’s Learn Zone

A raised boardwalk allows visitors to cross a road, providing a unique vantage point for observing squirrels darting among the branches and getting a close view of birds like sunbirds as the path brings you near the treetops.

After crossing the bridge, keep an eye out for some intriguing sights. You might notice a World War II air raid shelter almost swallowed by a ficus tree and, to its left, graves from the 19th century. These graves, from mixed marriages, date back to the 1840s.

These structures highlight the garden’s historical significance and rich heritage. Nearby, there’s also a spacious pavilion where you can relax and perhaps have a picnic.

Important Information

  • Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • For the safety of children, adults are only allowed access if they are accompanying a child.
  • Glass objects, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, and similar items are prohibited in the Children’s Garden for safety reasons.
  • Pets are not allowed.

Dining

Make sure to check out the Food for Tots cafe, a little kid-friendly spot right next to the garden. In line with the Gardens by the Bay Children’s Garden’s mission to inspire a love for nature, Food for Tots also aims to encourage eco-consciousness in kids. The Jacob Ballas cafe boasts eco-friendly features like an upcycled colander light installation, themed recycling bins, and an herb wall.

There’s also a fun interactive play area with a reading corner for the kids to enjoy. Brunch is served all day, with a diverse children’s menu that includes tasty options like chocolate banana pancakes, creamy bacon and mushroom pasta, and Ham & Cheese Toast Dippers.
