Every city has its must see parks.
London, England
London has several. It's free to walk in Regents Park, Hyde Park and Green Park and visit the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens. Most areas have a free park or two. Just check on maps.
London also has London Zoo, a paid for attraction. Smaller zoos are scattered around the capital.
You can also drive out to farms and zoos in other cities.
Singapore
Singapore's favourite paid for attractions include the Night Safari and the Singapore Zoo alongside. Look for reduced price tickets for the two. You can also visit crocodile farms selling crocodile skin souvenirs, or walk along piers to glimpse crocodiles.
If you want an easy to reach attraction, try the Botanical Gardens. The MRT (underground station) is helpful named Botanical Gardens and is right next to the Botanical Gardens entrance on the Bukit Timah road. Even if you don't have time for a long visit, you should stop at the MRT and pop up to the entrance to the Botanical Gardens for a photo stop and to read some of the captions at the entrance.
Bamboo
Standing by the bus stop recently, waiting for a friend arriving by car, I stood admiring the bamboo, famous for being fast-growing. The bamboo main stalk or trunk, was green, brown, or black.
Photos of Trees
Inside the Botanical Gardens is a historical bandstand where brides like to be photographed.
In addition to the Bukit Timah gate, two other major gates are the Nassim Gate and the Tanglin Gate.
