This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Botanical Garden because it was freezing cold and we needed a warm place with a roof over our heads. We went from one greenhouse to the next. One showed plants that grew in the Dino era, and another showed exotic crops like vanilla, cocoa, and pineapple

Highlights: We had a great time in the Botanical Garden. It's a great place between flowerbeds and tropical greenhouses. We loved the beautiful flowers and the educational information on the boards. The entrance is free! ✨
