Tip: Stay on the main path and avoid uneven jungle trails with the stroller.
Relax by the Lily Pond:
Sit on shaded benches beside giant water lilies to watch fish and tree squirrels.
Tip: Bring a small mat or blanket for naps and bottle-feeding on the lawn.
On-Site Café & Shop:
Grab cold drinks or snacks at Waterfall Café and Botanica Shop near the entrance.
Tip: Carry cash only and order fresh juice to cool down quickly.
