Insider tips

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the park terrain is sloped and requires significant walking between attractions.

Bring insect repellent during warmer months, as the dense greenery and herbal gardens attract various local insects.

Check local weather reports before visiting, as outdoor operations are sensitive to heavy rain or extreme heat warnings.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to navigate the park with heavy strollers or wheelchairs without checking the map for paved route accessibility, as some sections involve steep inclines.

Good to know

Operations are subject to change during severe winter weather or heavy seasonal rainfall; the park is typically closed on Mondays.
