Traveler reviews
Koh Jia Wei
★★★★★a year agoGiven the small area, this is a surprisingly nice place where you can climb all the way to the top (4 storeys) to enjoy the view. Alot of plants with name tag for you to know. Not too far from the bus stop and it is relatively easily accessible. Highly recommend!

★★★★★2 years agoBeautiful installation! A testament to the power of plants, to grow and cover things lol. No really a testament to having a bit of faith in artistic endeavors and devoting space for public use. The place looks like a architectural rendering: kids in prams, teenagers hanging out, people of different ableness, couples, friends, families, all strewn about harmoniously on different levels. We climbed on top for a bit of a view over the area on a beautiful day. Good job Zurich for having a place like this.
