Dairy Farm Nature Park

Описание: Set in a rustic environment with multiple trails for hiking and biking, the 75-hectare Dairy Farm Nature Park offers a host of recreational activities and amenities such as a nature trail and former quarry. The park is known for the Wallace Education Centre which features a permanent exhibition on the renowned English naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace to honour his contributions to natural science. Arriving on 18 April 1854, Wallace used Singapore as a base to study the natural history of the Malay Archipelago for eight years. A contemporary of Charles Darwin, Wallace is the other “father” behind the theory of evolution.

Wallace Education Centre

Formerly a cow shed, the Wallace Education Centre now houses an education gallery where visitors can learn about the biogeography and biodiversity of our region. Visitors of all ages will enjoy learning about insects and other resident wildlife in Dairy Farm through the various interactive exhibits. Highlights include exploring the natural world with magnifying glasses in the Citizen Science Lab, 3D models of biodiversity found in the area and a trick-eye wall. Themed exhibitions are also regularly held in the gallery. As it no longer functions as a dairy farm, there are no real cows at Dairy Farm Nature Park.

Wallace Trail

Constructed in 2009 and subsequently extended in 2020, the Wallace Trail is a 2.2 km nature trail dedicated to Alfred Russel Wallace that stretches from Hillview MRT station to the Wallace Education Centre. In 1854, Wallace stopped over in Singapore during his journey to the Malay Archipelago, and collected many species of beetles in the vicinity of the Dairy Farm site.

On this trail, discover the flora and fauna of Dairy Farm Nature Park through Wallace’s eyes while simultaneously learning about the history of the area through artefacts from the past. Don’t forget to check out the unobstructed view of the surrounding secondary forest from the new viewing deck.
