    It's a nice place to unwind. It's good for group events as well. The charges aren't that high and the trails are fun to walk through.

    Real green escape from the big smog city. On weekends you may observe many birthdays parties and group gatherings, weekdays are rather quiet. You find a mix of indigenous and exotic species here, there are some name tags placed to identify the plants. Commonly safe environment due to guards/forest rangers and presence of other guests.

    Green space for picnics and group meetings. If you're looking for a venue for team building exercises, Arboretum is the perfect place to do it within CBD. Entrance fee is very affordable.

  • 5/5 Diana I. 6 months ago on Google
    It was a beautiful and serene environment. A to note though is no plastic are allowed. And if you want to carry snacks or food, please repackage to reusable containers. This is for environment conservative... keep our country clean. Would recommend for group team building and a nature walk/time💯💯💯 .
