Penang's Botanical Gardens offer a beautiful getaway in nature. There are crisscrossing trails and many access points for longer hikes as well as shorter loops throughout the garden. Flora and fauna is well labeled and the park itself is nicely paved and accessible. We stumbled upon this beautiful hidden garden spot after following the waterfall creek and exploring. It is now one of my favorite spots in all of Penang! Bring a book and some snacks and get ready to dip your feet in the cool water and relax! Also highly kid friendly to play at!
This cache is right at a beautiful bridge and bench. Follow the bridge across to some nice bathrooms if you want. Otherwise, enjoy relaxing with the water. You do NOT have to climb down to water level for this cache. If you are sitting on the bench, it is within a couple metres and magnetic. Think low
Access between 8am and 5pm to make sure the gates are open.
Info:
Penang Botanic Gardens are the Pride of Penang. This beautifully manicured 50 hectare park, also known as Waterfall Gardens, Penang Botanical Garden or Kebun Bunga has been a feature of George Town life since it was established way back in 1884. The park's first curator, Mr Charles Curtis, worked tirelessly to transform an abandoned granite quarry into a magnificent park stocked with thousands of native and exotic trees, shrubs and herbs.* Some of those earliest trees still survive and are now fully mature.
