LIVE TURTLE AND TORTISE MUSEUM

do you like tortoises? 🐢🐢🐢🙋‍♀️
heard of Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum in Singapore only when there's a news that they are looking for a new location which was previously at Chinese Garden

now they are located at the North, abt 10mins walk from Khatib MRT
my husband suggested going for a visit knowing tt I will definitely like it! and he is right! we spent abt 2hrs there watching and feeding the tortoises.. they are so cute!!!! 😍😍😍 you get to feed the large tortoises, and the terrapins in the pond... 

entrance is not very visible, just a small door which is easily mistaken as a store door or resting area for construction site

entrance fees applies at $10

special price for children 6 years and below and seniors 60 years and above

its definitely worth it!

you can feed the tortoises too! 

you can get a small bunch of veg like this at $2 (for the large tortoises)

or $2 a small container of tortoise dry food (for those in the pond)

no outside food allowed

this is where the tortoises are

quite a variety species of tortoises, some in tanks that I believe is more aggressive ones...

place is sheltered for the tortoises and partly sheltered for the us

they are all it their own "house" but the wall is low.. so you can still reach to touch and feed them with the veg

this is the biggest.. by itself

"xiao-hei" is its name

this is the only one that out.. yes, you got to touch them, take as many photos as you like... I wonder if they know tt you are touching them 🤔

not sure why only one is out.. maybe cos its a weekday?

and they are very gentle animals, so please be gentle to them too!

this is an area with tortoises and turtles in tanks, quite a variety.. and you cant feed nor touch them

this is the terrapins pond

more than half of them are out to "sun-tan" and so relaxing 😎

theres 2 ponds for them and be careful... they cross the footpath to reach another pond

they enjoy stacking on each other.. dont know why but they are really gentle and friendly no fighting though this one jammed the path and the rest are in the water "queueing" 😅

this another group of tortoises.. its enclosed and i believe they bite?.. its unreachable but you can still feed them with veg

they seems to me more hungry then the rest.. you will see them trying munch as much veg as they can at a fast speed.. who says tt tortoises are slow?

on uneven level, they were at the "pond" area but after they saw veg, you will see them climbing towards you as a group... so cute!!

im lucky enough to witness the house cleaning and this is where the terrapins are most excited abt... i not sure why but they were just running ard

and even crossing to another pond

see you again!
