I have brought my little girl. now three, the last few times and she's have just had a blast, between the flowers, fountains, tropical rain... more

The gardens were very beautiful and extensive. The price was phenomenal compared to other gardens I have visited (only $8.00 per person). The garden was definitely a highlight of my vacation, and I highly recommend it to other travelers. more
