It is a non-profit museum, a good place to visit with friends and family. The staffs are friendly. There are also a lot of variety of turtle and tortoise. Get to see the oldest tortoise of 150 years old. The turtle craft collection is really impressive. From the collection, it can tell that the owner is really a turtle lover.

I'd in my to visit this place during my Singapore trip, well it didn't disappoint. Entry was reasonable, you've the option to purchase a turtle feed which I recommend you do, I like this place as you can get really close touching the turtles. There are a variety of turtles who look well fed, the staff was also very polite when I asked for directions and information, do recommend.

Interesting museum in Jurong Gardens. Kind of small. Kids seem to like it. You only need to spend about 30 minutes here. Cost of admission is under 5$.

It's an odd place to visit. You get to see so many varieties of turtles and tortoises. They all look relatively healthy.
The downside to this is that they do look mistreated. I know from interactions from the staff that they are looked after, fed well and reproduce but it doesn't look like that. The tanks look small, some are very low in water.
The explanation that they're used to it doesn't fly. Avoid
It's hard to put your finger on why it comes across like this, but you don't come away thinking that the animals are being treated well.

Saw few rare tortoise and turtle. Eye opening. Under maintained. Maybe because they moving by end of March.

A secret garden of tortoises and turtles. Entry fee for kids is $3 while adults is $5. Feed can be bought at $1 a pack. Quite crowded on the weekend as their lease is said to end this month. Unless you enjoy nature and seeing those creatures, you probably won't stay longer than an hour there. Great place to bring kids and let them learn more about these reptiles. Kids especially love feeding the terrapins in the pond

Lots of tortoises & turtles of different species. Compound is small and each visit should take between 1 - 3 hours depending on individual. They look well taken care of and well fed by owners and visitors. They are generally docile but do bite in some cases (probably by accident or misunderstanding). Too cute to lay blame on them anyway.

I truly like this place.There are free roaming tortoises and turtles as well as some rarer (pigged nose turtle, snake neck turtle, Asian soft shell turtle etc.) Some review here said turtle in captive is sad. From what I see and read, they are quite rare species so I suspect they might be left after grow too big for the exotic pet lovers who imported them and ended up at this place for 🐢. Some of them are rescue from restaurant in Malaysia and some of turtles are lucky enough to be under a patronage (so normal Singaporean who possibly deposit money for their extra) Also some of them possibly required knowledge to be taken care off better. So do come and just help with your entrance fee of 5 SGD. I don't think it will break your pocket. You will love feeding the big roaming flock in the centre pond. There are 2 that so cute they follow you around and able to eat food from your hand just be gentle and don't scare the little one.

They show a lot of species. However, that was one of the most depressive places I have visited so far. The enclosures are very small and austere. It s just a sad place to go.

Fantastic experience! So many great turtles of all sizes. Some very rare and some very fun to feed and interact with!

Interesting place for a visit for an hour or so. This was our second visit as we live nearby. Lots of fun feeding the turtles. It's a shame that it looks like this place will disappear with the modernization of Chinese Garden, which is already nice as it is!

This place should be close for all the bad they do to these turtles. Most of them are keep in tiny cages, they are close in cages with many other turtles without anything in ( water, food, grass...). They just get food from the guest who want to feed them.
The turtles should be keep outside in the beautiful park that's Chinese garden.
No one should support this "museum".

The kids really enjoyed feeding the turtles/tortoises here. But it is VERY run down (-1 star for that). I hope the entrance fee really is going towards renovating the facility.
Lewis Redner (07/08/2017 13:16)
$5 entry per person to see the largest collection of turtles in the world. It's worth a look in, especially during feeding time (afternoons).
Jean-Baptiste NICOLAS (06/06/2017 06:48)
Nice place to see amazing turtles. I really enjoyed the visit.
Terng Fu Chen (03/06/2017 06:01)
I hope that most of these turtles were rescued and not bought to be displayed. Several of them were in sad little tanks or concrete enclosures. It's $5 per entry with discounts for senior citizens and small children. You can buy a small pack of pellets for a dollar to feed the turtles in the pond and $2 gets you a handful of Long beans for the bigger turtles

A cosy and small museum for tortoises and turtles lovers and to learn much more about them.
Some tortoises (some of them are rather huge, gentle giants) are even free to roam around. I hope they can have a bigger place for more tortoises to roam around.

I just went there today. Here are some things you need to take note • entrance fee is $5 for per person 6/7 - 64 and $3 for those not in that age range • $2 is for a bunch of long beans(about 20) and $1 for a packet of pellets. (I suggest you buy the long beans as you can hold the beans while you feed the turtles/tortoises) • you cannot feed some of them so check the signs • you are not allowed to hold any of them. I rated 4 stars because I really enjoyed my experience there. However, I am no animal expert so I will leave some photos. The place is not so big. It's about the area of an executive flat(except it's rectangular)

A small place that you can see all of the different species of turtle around the world. Hope to have a bigger space.
Muhammad Syarifuddin (18/09/2016 05:53)
Are we able to feed the tortoises there? If so can we bring breads to feed them? I haven't been there so I am just curious if we able to feed them there. I know the staff there would provide us food to feed the tortoises. Pls answer as I am curious and I am going there later

A must go spot for turtle lover like me 💋
Turtle walks around freely and eat the grass freely! So happy to have a view like this!
I read news that this place is organized by a father and daughter who love turtle so much. Thank you for being so many lovely turtle to share with us.
A reasonable entrance fee is required. Good for family to bring their children to come and teach them about turtle and to treasure them.
I remembered that there is a big turtle in black who loved to being touched 😘
One stars is being deducted is the water for the fish is very dirty...
Kate Southwell (28/09/2016 05:36)
Really sad experience here, the tortoises and turtles were kept in tiny tanks with no stimulation and often no water. The 'free' roaming ones appeared to be very hungry. An animal welfare nightmare. We left feeling really sad. Please please do something to improve the conditions these poor animals live in, it's no way to keep such beautiful creatures.
Md Kamruzzaman (15/08/2016 16:18)
Beautiful views and great architecture. You can enjoy watching live and colorful fish.

An interesting museum to check out in the heartlands. Get to see free to roam turtles and rare tortoises. Not a huge place, but can spend around 2 hours to enjoy being surrounded by chelonians.

Nice Chinese garden, even comparable to the garden in China
Michelle Mangan (26/08/2014 02:52)
It was cute at first, coming in and being greeted by turtles walking around. I didn't feel like buying vegetables to feed, but the kind lady in the front gave me a couple cabbages to give them anyway. But then I actually took a look around, and the conditions the turtles live in are just, sad. Most of them are kept in either empty, dirty pools or they are individually kept in small aquariums.
One of the turtles was described to be "beautifully marked by the star" on his shell, but it was infected and there were a bunch of holes on his shell. When I walked out, the turtle that had greeted me in the beginning was dripping a lot blood from its mouth. I walked to the lady in the front desk to tell her, and either she didn't understand what I was trying to tell her, or she didn't really care. I think she said he was fine, but he was dripping in blood, from his mouth, I dont think he was fine....
I would like to give this place a good review, considering the variety of turtles and the kindness of the workers, but what I saw literally scarred me. Given the current living conditions and care given to these turtles, I would definitely not recommend visiting this museum.
