Located inside the Chinese Gardens, this museum which has its own admission fee, contains the World's rarest turtles, terrapins and tortoises.

The Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum was opened in 2002 by collector, Danny Tan, a 65 year old local businessman. He has over time contributed some 180 turtles covering 54 species to the museum.

The museum also exhibits over 3,000 turtle-related items collected by Tan and his daughter. One of the unusual live turtles on exhibit is a two-headed soft shell tortoise.

Many of the specimens in the live museum are from local pet stores who were openly selling endangered turtles from Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan despite knowing the trade is illegal.
