| - Crazy road construction around the garden made it super hard for us to figure out how to get into the park. And once in, we walked all around trying to figure out how to get tickets and our bearings. Had we known there was a dedicated parking lot we would have opted for it but we actually parked in a nearby neighborhood and walked in the pedestrian entrance.
But once in, we had a good time. The botanical gardens was very nice, with many sections to see, among tropical fruit trees, ferns, succulents, all in lush settings. The insectarium was small, a bit odd of a building, but our daughter enjoyed it a lot. Behind the insectarium is a good playground. From there, we went to the japanese garden, which was really nice, but the the chinese gardens were shut down for renovations.
We didn't use the tram nor did anyone tell us about it when we bought our ticket so we walked everywhere. Even so, we were able to comfortably see all these things in about two hours.
