A lovely experience. We visited on a hot day but it was fine as it was lovely and shady. The walk around the gardens is easy, not too hilly, and with great pathways. There is so much to see from a wealth of Flora and fauna and many creatures from lizards, terrapins, butterflies, birds, and many monkies. Lots of macaques, and if you're lucky, you will see some gorgeous dusky leaf monkies quietly feeding. It's really worth a trip up. Two warnings, though, be careful with the macaques, they can be aggressive. Also, make sure you either have data on your phone or your return trip organised as the Waterfall cafe refuse to let you use their wifi, and if you need a grab, it's a problem. NB the Waterfall also charge ridiculous prices for cold drinks. Avoid if you can.

Loved it even if it was a bit tired in parts. Monkeys were fun to watch- we spotted some babies playing at the bottom of the tree! Some amazing trees and plants to discover. Not very busy when we went late afternoon. Free to enter.

My wife and I visited on a cruise ship excursion and we had just under an hour here to enjoy the pretty surroundings. It's an easy walk and fairly flat. There are many interesting plants and trees to see, and our guide explained that the gardens were mainly known for its trees and plants, in contrast to botanical gardens elsewhere that focused on flowers. There are wild macaque monkeys here...just don't go too near or wave any bags around as they will try to grab the bag on the premise there might be food inside. We loved the fascinating cannon ball trees, the cannon balls are really odd plants that apparently smell rotten on the inside. We could have easily spent longer here but we were on a tight timetable. The gardens are located at Jalan Kebun Bunga and it is Malaysia’s only botanic gardens. There are many ferns and cactus houses too, including some rare species. The Botanic Gardens is open every day from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m and there is parking available.

It is a large garden with lots of big trees. We felt cool while we walked in the park in a hot mid morning! There were many monkeys playing on their own which was nice to look at. However, we were disappointed with the lily pond! There were few miserable lily plants amid over-crowded water hyacinth! Entrance to the park is free!

Despite visiting Penang several times previously, we had never explored the Botanic gardens which were created in an old quarry, which, when you’re walking around, seems hard to believe. At the entrance is a large car park and a cafe. Entrance is free. The gardens are magnificent with many superb rain forest trees and colourful shrubs. It’s a relatively easy walk and any inclines are not steep. Even on a hot day, there’s plenty of shade but there’s no need to rush! Look up as well as down. There are a number of specialist plant houses but these are not open every day so best to check online first. There are many monkeys around so be careful what you are carrying! They are always on the lookout for food and it is, in fact, illegal to feed them. They are entertaining to watch though. We spent a very interesting few hours here and thoroughly recommend a visit.
