We visited in January. The gardens looked faded and unkempt. For four of us, we spent Rs 480.00 (Rs 60 entry + Rs 60 for toy train). Nothing great to see here at this time of year. No roses at this time of the year and not much time. All in all a rather dull experience. Strike it off the Araku visit list.

I wish we had packed a picnic lunch for visiting this garden, since it's a great spot to just walk around and then sit under some trees with a picnic basket, have conversations, play board games/cards. Or for the readers - read a book. There's a toy-train which is fun for kids. Since we visited in Jan, the weather was fantastic. But if you plan to visit in summer months and make a picnic out of it, you should pack a huge umbrella/parasol.

Best place to spend a half day here in gardens. We can see various types of trees and plants. A toy train ride is available at some price. Food points are available inside and outside of the gardens. Madugula halwa is so tasty and worth it must try.

This botanical garden is not exciting cause you don't get to see any rare kinds of plants here. If you know garden plants and are into gardening, this botanical garden will probably look like a normal romantic park to you

It used to be good when I visited few years back. Now it is not well maintained, lot of plants and areas are neglected. Overall good experience but it should have been well maintained.

Rare and special plants are not there, experienced discouraged experience. Entry fee of ₹ 50/- per person is seems to be high for deriving hopeless experience. However, children park gives some entertainment
