Take a stroll at Botanical Garden

Take a stroll at Botanical Garden

This is a place for all ages to enjoy the greens of Penang, a place to relax and get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Do not be surprised to see groups of the elderly practising Taichi led by a leader with a radio playing the Taichi music. Dance groups also have their sessions in different parts of the garden.

There's a miniature Penang Bridge in the garden. Kids find it amusing to play at the stream because there are no longer such places in the city. If you love flora, it's a MUST visit. You get all the tropical trees and flowers here.

Penang Botanical Gardens

The Penang Botanical Gardens, sometimes known as the Waterfall Gardens, are a lush, verdant enclave. They cover some 30 hectares of pleasant, undulating, grassland and were developed by the British in 1884. They have numerous species of tropical plants and trees. Many rhesus monkeys roam the gardens, but don't worry, they are very friendly and are used to visitors. The Gardens are located in Jalan Air Terjun which means Waterfall Road.
