Family + a 2yr old had a good time at the gardens. An enjoyable walk amongst the lush greenery. Enjoyed the sounds of the streams throughout the garden, and various flowers and plants around. If you have an interest in plants it is highly recommended that you engage a local guide from the gardens as they will be able to tell you about the various plants and very importantly point-out to you the rare plants and flowers that are around. The entrance fee is RM10 per adult.
