Beautiful place to spend time. Whenever I come to shop at Simon's, I always stop in the gardens. The koi fish pond was closed due to renovations (sad) but they have updated it so much!

Always have a lovely tim...

A great little indoor oasis, good for an especially hot or rainy day. Sadly when we visited the koi pond was closed for renovations, but all of the beautiful plants and flowers and water features were enjoyable. Grab some grub at the food court nearby and soak in the ambience of the greenery.

The many people I saw, individuals, couples and families were all enjoying the...

The garden is located on the 4th floor of a mall, but there weren’t any clear signs or directions t...
