Overall a lovely experience, being in a mini jungle with all sorts of plants around you. The fish spa was a unique experience One thing was very annoying though. The labels are very unclear and a lot of times we really struggled to find out which plants were which. Navigation with the map was also not easy

Interesting place to visit even though it takes some attention to details to appreciate the place. Several small water features adds to the charm of the place. The garden could have been better curated and maintained. Difficult to get a Grab back to town and mosquito repellent highly recommended.

This is such a hidden gem of Penang, anyone coming here must make this a pitstop. It is so tranquil and peaceful and interesting plants can be seen at every corner. No trees are cut - all structures are built around nature, a clear sign that the team puts nature first.

We visited the tropical spice garden on our last full day in Penang and it was a fabulous experience. The knowledge the staff have is amazing. We got a tour round the garden and learnt so much things I never would have thought of. This was then followed by a cooking class. We made Vegetable Fritters, Nyonya Assam Fish Curry and Banana Fritters. Would 100% recommend this experience.
Best time is December to March when showers are light; pack a raincoat if visiting June–September.
