During the day, you'll witness a rainbow of colors as the sun passes through the water.

When the sun sets, and there's no natural light, the waterfall turns into a magical screen from which light is projected. With added music, the Rain Vortex becomes a spectacular night show unmatched in every way.

1. The largest Hedge Maze in Singapore challenges it's visitors to find their way through this ever-twisting maze. Those who succeed and find themselves at the tower (in the center) are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the maze below.

2. As you probably already guessed, Mirror Maze is a maze of mirrors. The illusion of endless corridors may be overwhelming to some. However, this unique attraction should not be missed and is definitely worth it.

Quick mirror maze tip: Always walk slowly and drag your hand across the right wall while you walk. By far the easiest way to navigate a maze.
