    Revisited. Attached few new pictures. *******"" Beautiful and spacious orchid park! And best of all, it's free entrance! It's quite well maintained and with lotttsssss of orchid types around. They have other plants too, which some I couldn't name them properly. Periuk kera aka pitcher plants are available too. There a indoor section with AC, which stores several types of orchids which prefer the cold weather. The place is very clean. Tonnes of parking lot available. There's also washroom and a small convenient store selling some snacks and ice cream.

    Its a lovely walk, plenty of orchids to look at, especially the orchids in the glasshouse. If anyone in your entourage is interested in plants or orchids, definitely consider a stop here to make their day!

    Big place with many different orchids. Free access! Where I came from, the orchid garden is smaller yet chargeable.

    I really admire how well maintained this place is despite the fact that the entrance is free. There are a lot of varieties of orchids and is a pleasant place to visit. There are no crowds either so you can take your time to walk through the whole garden.

    Easy to find, within walking distance from Kuching Water Front, cross walk bridge, turn left 200m.This Garden is Well maintained but needs further development. Borneo has 1000+ Native species of Orchid, but only 6 or so can be found here. Most orchids on Display here are Showy Cultivars (Not Borneo species). Time to get some Expert scientific advice on this. This garden is not Progressing. Static.

    It is so refreshing to walk in a well maintained garden with the sun on your face. Saw a little bloom but at least better than nothing. I love the dustbin. It is so cute. Do not forget to bring your mineral water with you as the weather is killing us softly. Free entrance and on your way out make sure to jot down something on the visitors book.

    This place is so lovely and we’ll worth a visit if you are in the area. With free entry it’s a must. There were plenty of orchids but nothing compared to what it must be like when the all bloom. (Must not be the season) The grounds are very well looked after & it’s so nice to walk around.

    Beautiful garden with many orchids. During my visit in May 2023, most of the plants were not blooming, but those that were blooming (especially in the house) were beautiful. I recommend going there especially in blooming season (August to sept). Staff was also nice and admission is free.

    Interesting place to visit if you love plants. Many different types of orchid. Very creative botanical gardens. Bromeliad plants are very beautifully designed on the trees. Must come to this place if you visit kuching.

    Amazing place if you like orchids. We went in January which is when the vast majority of orchids were not in bloom, but there were still a lot that were still in bloom. The only thing I would have liked to see more is names of the orchids and also which are native and which are hybrid/cultivated ones.

    We went a bit late, around 5pm, but there's only us there. The staffs are very nice and willing to give info to us. There are many types of orchids but not all got flowers due to rainstorms lately. Overall it was a nice experience. If there a name plates for each species of orchids will be much better.

    ... für Alle Liebhaber von Orchideen ist der Park eine große Freude ... mit viel Liebe & Engagement kümmern sich die Gärtner ... es muss eine Pracht sein, wenn alles blüht ... aber auch jetzt gab es einiges schönes zu entdecken ... es kostet keinen Eintritt ... und es gibt eine kleine Verkaufsstelle für Getränke & was zu knabbern ..

    One of the most beautiful place and major tourist attractionin Kuching Sarawak. Have you heard about Normah Orchid? It’s here! There are more than 60 species of Orchid here and you will regret if you don’t pay a visit here!

    Mum loved this place as she's an avid orchid lover. Can barely tear her away from these beautiful plants. I'm not into gardening but even I appreciate the beautiful display of orchids. There's so many and in various shades of colour too! Worth the visit.

    It's beautiful, plenty of orchard flowers. My children love to see it. Not too busy...

  • 4/5 Terence y. 1 year ago on Google
    Drop by twice so far and I would say a hidden spot with very few visitor. I would say they place need some sort upgrading as its obvious that some part of the park is degrading quickly. The cool room in the park has plenty of fan and airconditioning malfunction.

  • 3/5 Chan HUA Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited this garden with high hopes that we will be greeted with a sea of orchids! Unfortunately that’s not the case. There is a lot of orchid plants, however, there are only a miserable number of flowers! We also noted many flower stem without flowers (obviously being cut off for some reason not known to us). The keeper said this is not the flowering season! I don’t know that orchid, like durian, also has flowering season. Very disappointing visit.

    Kuching hidden gem. Lots of orchids species displayed. Free entrance.

  • 5/5 Norhasniza O. 4 years ago on Google
    A very nice and well maintained place. And it’s free entrance. The place is so big. When we were there not so many orchids in full bloom but since it’s so well maintained it became a very smooth and enjoyable visit for us.

    I appreciate of effort from all people working here to keep this garden beautiful, lively and free ^^ When I visited here, I could see a couple make a wedding picture & wear traditional outfit. It's very nice. And also the flower were blooming shinning. It is very nice too spend time here. It takes around 30 -45 min depend on your enjoying.

    Feel the nature 😍 Absolutely well maintained park.

  • 4/5 lc w. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is organized very well. Staff is friendly, no fee required, Just write comments on the guest book on way out. The Park is divided into view areas, there are signs pointing which way to go. We went there around noon so not crowded but weather quite warm. The most exciting part is in the aircon room, full of various types of orchids, all is well maintained. Booking a grab is a pain here, we waited almost an hour.

    Nice place to see orchid. Due to weather, not so much bloom. Anyway, i like here.. 👍👍👍
