What a beautiful place! I had only been to the Norfolk Botanical gardens so I came in ready to compare but was pleasantly suprprised at how immaculate the grounds were. In comparison to Norfolk, you can tell they really take care to get the best flowers and displays, I was very impressed at the selection and it rivaled Norfolk by far. Their kids "splash park" was very very small in comparison to the water park at Norfolk, as was their "international village" which was really just a couple vacant huts with no real objective. They had this cool treehouse but it was completely empty, no literature points or things for the kids to play with. So I would say for kids, this isn't as fun as it could be but the gardens and aesthetic of the place make it all worth it.
