    Tiger Balm Gardens / Aw Boon Haw Gardens

    Does anyone know if this place still exists and if so, whether it's still open to the public? The pics on the interweb look incredible but I can't tell if it's still existent.

    Tiger Balm Gardens - I absolutely loved it when I was a kid

    Unfortunately the site was sold in the late nineties to property developer and I think there is a new apartment complex already built on the site.

    the mansion is still there whilst the Govt decides how to use it. The gardens have long gone but I believe the original outer wall and gateway are still in-situ.

    Thanks for the responses and what a shame to have lost it. Does anyone know if the mansion is still visit-able, and if it's worth going to see? I'm guessing it's probably not.
