  Botanic Gardens

The Gardens epitomizes the tropical island's luxuriant parks. Spread over 52 hectares and close to the center of the city, the Gardens is a combination of untouched primary forest and specialty gardens displaying frangipanis, roses, ferns and desert plants, to name a few. The thousands of plant species here, including many rare specimens, reflect the Gardens' richness and diversity of plant life.

The present orchid enclosure has 20,000 orchid plants on display. The National Orchid Garden promises sprawling orchid displays, water features, and an exotic bromeliad collection from Central and South America. Other attractions for your enjoyment include Palm Valley, Eco-Lake and outdoor concerts on Symphony Lake.

If you are looking for a fine dining experience by the greens, head on down to Au Jardin, an exclusive little French restaurant serving one of the best French cuisine in town.
