About: This is a beautiful and well-sized botanic garden with trails for walking and a variety of different areas to enjoy. It is a great place for relaxing, taking pictures, and connecting with nature. It is easy and relatively quick to get to, while still providing a respite from the bustle of the city. They have a small cafe with limited drinks and snacks, but no full meals, so definitely bring your own lunch if you plan on staying for a longer period. It is a great place to have a picnic. They allow pets, professional photo sessions for a small fee, and beautiful spaces for special moments like marriage proposals. There is a river, a pond with small bridges, gazebos, countless species of birds and plants, a “labyrinth”, children’s playgrounds, and more.
