Garden By The Bay what is so special?

The Garden By The Bay doesn't seems to be going right just by the admission price. After reading the article from Yahoo, it seems even foolish to even go there. The admission price is $20. What is there to look other than plants? Although you are looking at them from some structure, it still doesn't seem worth the price. Unless you are a botanist, then perhaps it is a once in a lifetime to look at plants collected from around the world. Also there is chicken rice being sold for also $20?! This sound like cut throat. For that price I could go to a good restaurant. Chicken rice will all taste the same what is so special that it cost so high? Even the so call best chicken rice outside will just cost you maybe $8. I could have my KFC marathon and might have spare cash left from $20... http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/the-flipside/gardens-bay-not-everyone-085320199.html
