We visited this garden a few days ago, we got here by walking, which I do not recommend it’s about an hour walk from the city centre. The gardens are quite large Nd there’s lots to see, I recommend you bring lunch or snacks so you can have a picnic. There are many beautiful areas on this complex, there’s an old colonial home at the top which is quite nice to look at. There’s the lookout with the dome which is stunning and must be even gorgeous during the summer. Only two downside to this beautiful garden, first is that is quite far off the city centre and the tourist attractions. Like opposite direction, so you have to take a bus or a cab to get there. Second, is that is right off the highway, so there’s a lot of sound pollution which takes away from the beautiful serenity botanical gardens bring.

It’s a beautiful garden filled with amazing flowers and numerous trees. It’s an almost 3h long walk, and it’s only 5€. You also have the possibility to pay for a visit of the garden. Otherwise, you get a map, which is very clear and easy to follow. I wouldn’t recommend this activity with very young children, though. Although the majority of the garden is flat, a vast part of it is rocky, elevated, and very unstable for people with strollers.

Entry fee is very reasonable. The gardens have many lovely examples and wide variety. The tree section is wonderfully cooling on a hot day, as there are many streams babbling and the sound of birds. There is an interesting history behind the gardens construction and a lovely house. Sadly the house isn't open to the public. There are toilets dotted around the site, a gift shop and a lovely cafe.

Best botanical garden I’ve visited in my life. Entrance is cheap, around 5 normal fee and 3,70 for students. There are a some different areas; a dry desert-like area, a jungle area, forest and flower area. It’s really big and we spent more than 2 hours inside. You can spot many types of birds, lizards, squirrels and we even saw a chameleon. There’s a nice terrace for a little picknick or something to drink.

Wife and I spent several hours here, arriving about 10:30. Beautiful gardens, lots of walking, mostly easy. I was wearing Crocs, the Mrs trainers. The lunch was excellent value for money and the staff very helpful. It was very hot, despite there being some thin cloud cover, so the walking through tree-shaded areas gave a welcome relief. Lots of photo opportunities, I've posted a small sample. Highly recommended.
