The main attraction within the botanic gardens. Located on the mid-western side of the garden, the hilly three hectare site has a collection of more than 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids of orchids. Within the orchid garden, there are a number of mini-attractions such as: Burkill Hall & VIP Orchid Garden, Orchidarium, Tan Hoon Siang Misthouse, Lady Yuen-Peng McNeice Bromeliad House and Coolhouse.
- Orchidarium: The haven for serious orchid’s enthusiasts. Only the natural species are on display here in a tropical setting.
- Tan Hoon Siang Misthouse: The mist house contains a colourful collection of different hybrids. It also has a small collection of fragrant orchids like Vanda Mimi Plamer.
- Coolhouse: The Cool House tries to recreate the environment of a tropical highland forest and so it showcases orchids that are normally only found in the tropical highland areas.
