A must visit on a visit to Mauritius. The gardens are well managed. It's also fun watching the deers playing in their stream. There is a large free car park. It's £5 entry which you can pay on the day.

R25 entrance fee for locals during weekdays and R300 for foreigners. Beautiful, mostly shaded botanical garden. Nice walk for the whole family including the kids. Pram friendly walkways. Lots of mozzies, carry insect repellent or wear long sleeve clothing. The deer enclosure looks a bit neglected. Some parts of the garden require a good maintenance.

The Botanical Gardens is beautiful. Tickets cost 300 rupees per person for foreigners. You can get a local guide at an additional cost, but we did not do this. It would have been nice had we had the time. I'd suggest you spend the day here as the gardens are quite vast and you need adequate time to thoroughly explore it. We didn't have too much time so we rushed through, but what we did see was beautiful. The gardens are well maintained but it is a little difficult to navigate. Maps are available for all, but I survive on GPS and reading maps is not a strong suit. However, the people who work at the gardens were very helpful and we did eventually find our way around. As beautiful as it is, I would suggest not getting your hopes up based on images you see on social media. While the giant lily pads are a sight... It's one of those "Instagram vs reality" type of situations. Overall, if you're into nature, this is a good place to visit and just take the time to enjoy it.

For 300 rupees you get to enjoy a very beautiful garden which is about 300 years old. I can only recommend to enjoy one of the tours there which is about an hour and 150 rupees per person. Our guide was quite entertaining and told us a lot about the plants and even let us smell some special scents of the leaves. This made the tour very interesting and informative.
