    Burkill Hall is within Singapore Botanical Garden. Itis a colonial plantation bungalow built in 1886. It used to be the director's house and was named in honour of the only father and son pair to hold the post of Director of Singapore Botanic Gardens, Isaac and Humphrey Burkill. The ground level serves as an exhibition area, showcasing information on the different hybrids named after VIPs who have visited the garden.

    Burkill Hall is a large tropical building. At the backyard we will find VIP orchids named with world leader and celebrities such as William and Kate. Really a nice small garden here.

  • 5/5 xiong j. 5 years ago on Google โ€ข 197 reviews
    A hall located in the western part of National Orchid Garden. Great! A tranquil pond with water lilies are nearby. Towering trees, skilfully trimmed bushes and beautiful orchids offer flora and fauna. The hall was well-maintained with fans to cool you down. Many exotic orchid species' photos are displayed. Clear, precise and lively information. What a great experience!

    Architecturally pleasing and historic bungalow within Singapore Botanic Gardens. The lower portion is open and offers a visual informational display of The Making of a Dream Hybrid along with other topics. The backyard has a well-maintained garden that is very appropriate for the design and elegance of the bungalow. It is well worth a visit while visiting Singapore Botanic Gardens.
