    (Translated by Google) Learn directly to nature, get to know various types of forest plants, flowers. Learn to plant, care for, fertilize, and hopefully a harvest. There are many choices of activities, and photo spots, indeed the trees in the Kalimantan forest have many trees above 40m. Various fruits are produced, almost every tree is given a nameplate, there is also a barcode for visitors to scan, see plant details, starting from the name, diameter information, tree height, benefits, fruit and leaves, and so on. Physical preparation for a walk considering the large area of ​​the botanical garden, near the parking lot, there is already a botanical garden plan. So you can determine where you want to go first. Don't forget to bring your travel provisions. Especially drinking water, the botanical garden is open from 09.00-15.00 WITA, always remember to maintain health protocols, wear a mask, wash your hands. The first thing I visited, saw the process of making compost, from the collected leaves it is processed into compost, starting from chopping, turning from leaves to compost, and sifting for finished compost. Don't forget to keep the environment clean, don't leave the trash that we carry. Direct learning, regarding nurseries, botanical gardens become a learning center for the natural environment, especially about flora. It is very suitable for students, students and the public to re-know the diversity of our plants, from here I know how the mangosteen, lute, ylang, gaharu, Ulin, meranti and many other trees. (Original) Belajar langsung ke alam, mengenal beragam jenis tanaman hutan, bunga. Belajar menanam, merawat, memupuk, dan semoga panen. Ada banyak pilihan aktivitas, dan spot foto, memang pohon di hutan Kalimantan banyak pohon di atas 40m. Beragam buah yang dihasilkan, hampir setiap pohon diberikan papan nama, ada juga barcode untuk di-scan pengunjung, melihat detail tanamannya, mulai dari nama, informasi diameter, ketinggian pohon, manfaatnya, buah dan daunnya, dan sebagainya. Persiapan fisik untuk berjalan-jalan mengingat luasnya area kebun raya, di dekat parkiran, sudah tersedia denah kebun Raya. Jadi bisa ditentukan dulu mau jalan ke mana. Jangan lupa bawa bekal perjalanan anda. Terutama air minum, kebun raya buka dari pukul 09.00-15.00 WITA, ingat selalu untuk menjaga protokol kesehatan, memakai masker, mencuci tangan. Hal pertama yang aku kunjungi, melihat proses pembuatan kompos, dari dedaunan yang dikumpulkan diproses menjadi kompos, mulai dari pencacahan, pembolak-balikan dari daun menuju kompos, dan pengayakkan untuk kompos yang sudah jadi. Jangan lupa untuk menjaga kebersihan lingkungan, jangan tinggalkan sampah yang kita bawa. Belajar langsung, mengenai pembibitan, kebun raya menjadi pusat pembelajaran terhadap alam lingkungan terutama tentang flora. Sangat cocok untuk para pelajar, mahasiswa dan masyarakat mengenal kembali keberagaman tanaman kita, dari sini aku tahu, bagaimana pohon manggis, kecapi, kenanga, gaharu, Ulin, meranti dan banyak lainnya.

    It's something like a forest which nurtured all kind of trees family, you can find the place well maintained and clean. Almost all thing js green. Which is good i know. There's many place for resting for free inside like a gazebo (beware of monkeys) but they're only coming out at midday usually. Other than that it's a good resting place if you get bored at everything in Balikpapan. Oh yea it's free sl that's a +

    It is recommended to put on sunscreen or at least bring an umbrella. Free entrance. Very good place for family, mini playgrounds everywhere (we passed about 6 of them). There are also many shelter spots, if you have concern when bringing eldery. Cafe was good but only sell cold drinks and instant noodles. I think we also found a camping ground but not sure. If you decide to go here, please don't litter. Thank you.

    I came to the garden on the weekday, the place was nice, but we didn't see any canteen or cafe open. I asked the staff, and he said that the cafe only opens on weekends. So if you want to come on a weekday don't forget to bring your meals because no cafe or canteen near the area.

    (Translated by Google) The location is exactly like the gmap directive. Just go in, when we go there, we don't report. It was quiet and we got lots of gazebos. There are many plants to study and are great for children and increasing knowledge. There is a large hole with steps jutting in and if we say it underneath the sound echoes. The sound of the rustling of the trees is always soothing. (Original) Lokasi persis seperti arahan gmap. Masuk tinggal masuk waktu kami kesana gak melapor. Sepi dan kami kebagian banyak gazebo.

Suara gemerisik pepohonan memang selalu menenangkan.
