Old world feeling, like walking into a set of The Great Gatsby.

Apart from the heat, all is good. Go early mornings or late evenings. Though the park closes at 7pm

Very beautiful and clean place. Our family had an outdoor photoshoot here last year and it was great. It is a good spot for wedding photoshoot too. Unfortunately, the experience was less pleasant when we came back for a pinic. We were approached by 3 "rangers" in a span of 2 hours. No ball and frisbee allowed. No climbing onto the saga seed sculptures is allowed (the "do not climb" sign was shown only on one side which we did not see). Finally, no pinic table or chair allowed. The first 2 rangers were smiley & polite but not rhe last ranger. He approached my hubby with a paper in his hand, pointed at it & said "Sir, please read point no. 2". He was unfriendly & stern. So, we packed up & left at 1030am. They are doing their job to patrol the area but surely, the last ranger can communicate better instead of shoving a piece of paper in someone's face. We took leave from work to bring our child outdoor, we wish it ended better.. Note to self as well to check rules & regulations when visiting other parks.

Take about a 300m walk from here to reach the como adventure grove where you can find sand pits playground, 2 slides and a giant durian husk.. quite a couple of swings available as well. Wish The carpark would have accommodate more cars.

The access is lacking in signage. We had to walk around a few rounds to find the entrance. Parking lots are very limited.

There is a service staff in the visitor center, you can get a map here. It is also a place to drop off visitors. There are toilets. As well as vending machine serving drinks. Beside the service center is a public carpark.

Beautiful experience away from the huge crowd that you typically see at the main botanic garden. The new develop playground is great and organic for the kids

Beautiful place for photoshoots. There are limited parking lots and can be very crowded on weekends espicially during the evening. Great place to have a picnic, but would advice to drive or take a cab there as its a long walk from any public transport.
