★★★★★4 months agoChecked out this place since its close to my hotel. The place is fairly large, it has a garden outside but when its winter most of the plants are dead. Inside, its quite warm so if your wearing coats/sweaters you're gonna have to take some of it off. The plants are very colorful and the arrangement of the plants according to its biome is very cool. Overall, I recommend visiting this place.
