A special park, with amazing plants, information, projects, kids area and treetop walk, nice cafes in and around the park, although we take a picnic and find a hidden spot, you need to pay to get in but it is worth the peace and relative calm. There are small palaces in the grounds which are open at different times of the year, but just wandering around them is quite magical.
