I have a wonderful experience here, if you love plants go book this one. There are also other tourist attractions like Elephant shows. The tropical garden is very big, clean, good ambiance. The place over all is very wonderful! Cant explore it while walking because its really big. You should avail a sightseeing bus to see all different sightseeings.

The park is quite large, and the waiting time is not too long. You have to take the swimming ring yourself. Some projects require climbing about 3 floors, which is very tiring. Overall, it is fun.

I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a tour with Noni, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment the tour began, Noni's enthusiasm and passion for the area were contagious. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly engaging, making the history and stories come alive in a way that was both informative and entertaining. His warmth and friendliness made everyone feel welcome, and his attention to detail ensured that no question went unanswered. He took the time to tailor the experience to the group's interests, making it feel personalized and unique. Whether he was sharing fun anecdotes or pointing out hidden gems, Noni’s expertise and love for what he does were evident throughout. If you're looking for a tour guide who is professional, personable, and truly knows how to make a tour memorable, Noni is the one! This was an unforgettable experience, and I'm so grateful for all the insights he shared with us.
