Culture
Singha Park is a working farm. Keep to the roads and paths, do not pick tea or fruit, and take your rubbish with you.
History
Singha Park is run by the company behind Singha beer as a farm and leisure park. Its rolling hills of tea, fruit orchards and lakes make it a relaxed half-day out, with a zipline and a restaurant overlooking the plantations.
