Tropical Spice Garden

If you love nature, you'll love the Spice Garden. After paying for your ticket, you are given an audio guide with 4 language selection — Malay, English, Arabic and Japanese. The plants are marked with a number and you simply enter the number you're interested in to get more information about what you're looking at.

Walking leisurely around the garden would take about an hour. Longer if you really want to learn about the plants and spices there.

There is a cooking school where you can learn how to use spices in your food. So if cooking is your thing, it's worth spending some money for cooking lessons. Advanced booking is required.

The gift shop was amazing. There are various types of spices for you to buy. I hoarded some essential oils and soaps. After I paid, I was told that I can also buy their product online. Duh, If I knew I wouldn't have bought so much that day!

The audio guide. 4 language selection. The plants are numbered. You press the number to get more info.about a plant.

These plants look innocent enough but are poisonous when consumed.

Tsunami Memorial. That drift wood was found in front of the garden in the aftermath of the tsunami in 2004. It was placed in the garden in memory of those who lost their life.
