5.0 of 5 stars. Gorgeous, relaxing green forest! You can take guided tours and learn lots, or just explore on your own. A wonderful place to go to cool off on hot summer days. Also has a great view of city.

5.0 of 5 stars. The gardens here are really nice and add something to the city. It's a very nice surprise for such an urban environment. However, the tea room is not worth the prices.
