I’m so ashamed to say it was our first time and we were so like :OOOOOOOOOO

The place is gorgeous and huge and green and shady and wonderful! Taman Botani Perdana is massive. But together with Ibrahim, I managed to walk from the top right of that map, anti-clockwise around that lake, and back again. Phew.

It was a lot for Fatty Bom Bom and Fatty Mom Mom (<–dat me in case u din geddit).

17. OHHHH I have to get Mr Ninja to send me this insane photo of Aisha. She climbed up a vertical tube from the ground all the way up to that spiral thing.

18. Sulaiman is not about that climbing-3-storeys-up-a-vertical-tube-life, so I paid the bubble man RM5 for a bowl of bubbles

Taman Botani Perdana Kuala Lumpur Review

19. The bubbles quickly summoned the daredevil who immediately set her sights on destroying Sulaiman’s fun

Taman Botani Perdana Kuala Lumpur Review

20. Aaaaaand it wasn’t long before I had to shell out another RM5 for another bowl of bubbles because someone small and very strong-willed doesn’t like to share

37. Also, watch this video of Ibrahim playing with the zoom of my phone

Ya ok, I thought I took better pictures of the rest of the botanical gardens but I guess I didn’t

But legit, it’s beautiful. Everyone there is happy. Joggers, runners, cyclists, walkers. Kids, teens, adults, seniors. Picnickers, artists, tourists, families, singles. Whether you wanna exercise, play, or just relax.

Taman Botani Perdana KL is where it’s at y’all. Oh, I just Googled and it’s actually called Perdana Botanical Gardens. Whatever.

Location: Jalan Kebun Bunga, Tasik Perdana, 55100 Kuala Lumpur,
Opening hours: 7am-8pm
Free admission.
