Follow the Kheam Hock Road approach
From Dunearn Road, NParks directs drivers to turn right at the Kheam Hock Road junction to enter NUS Bukit Timah Campus. From Bukit Timah Road, its directions give a left turn at the corresponding junction. After the gantry, follow the signs and turn right towards the Children’s Garden.
For a taxi or ride-hailing booking, use the attraction’s full name and 1H Cluny Road. A general pin for Singapore Botanic Gardens may point to a different gate. Follow the posted stopping directions and agree where to meet once everyone has left the vehicle.
Check the current charges and carpark access before deciding to drive. NParks’ general visitor information separately flags the Children’s Garden carpark as closed on Mondays. If the garden is open for a designated Monday public holiday, confirm the parking arrangements for that date.

Use Botanic Gardens MRT if parking is uncertain
Take Exit A at Botanic Gardens MRT and enter the Gardens at Bukit Timah Gate. Follow the signs for Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden. NParks estimates about ten minutes on foot from the station exit. Give yourself extra time if you are with younger children or finding the route for the first time.
If some visitors are arriving by rail and others by car, meet at the actual Children’s Garden entrance rather than at the MRT gate. NParks identifies a Visitor Services Desk at the entrance for queries.

Check garden hours and entry before leaving
NParks lists opening hours of 8 am to 7 pm and last admission at 6.30 pm. The garden closes on Mondays except designated public holidays. Check the attraction page and notices if you are travelling for one feature or if weather may affect the visit.
Admission is free. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults normally enter when accompanying a child, and NParks directs adults visiting without children to consult the Service Desk. Check those arrangements before organising a group.
NParks describes the garden as wheelchair accessible. For a particular route, ask about the arrival point and path you intend to use. If water play is your main purpose, check the current notices and the attraction’s own rules before packing.
