点评:The Botanic Gardens is adjacent to the Aquarium, so you can visit both at once.
The Botanic Gardens is a lovely place to walk around. It takes several hours to walk through the entire place. Summer and early fall is best, when more plants are in bloom. There's a grassy area where you can bring a picnic blanket and food (not in glass containers), and folding chairs if you want. You can't bring toys or sporting equipment, like a ball or frisbee, or pets. You can bring a camera, and as far as I know you can bring art materials to sketch the flowers. There are many nice places to relax and read a book, though the seating options are more scenic than comfortable.
There's an extensive children's section (look for the dragon) with a slide, a maze, and a giant pumpkin. It used to have giant rubber worms coming out of the walls and others which you could carry around, but even on opening day that started to get messed up.
In December, the Botanic Gardens has the River of Lights in the late evenings and into the night, which are elaborate light displays throughout the entire place. Tickets are on the pricey side, but it's a wonderful experience, though this year they didn't have the light show and music in the Mediterranean greenhouse. It's always very crowded. Tickets need to be bought in advance, and get sold out. It's good to buy tickets for the earliest time slot and to come 30 mins. in advance to get parking. It can be very cold, especially if you stay for a number of hours, so dress warmly.
The Botanic Gardens hosts other special events, like concerts, so it's worth checking the website.
Many of the paths are dirt or gravel, and realistically many people who use a wheelchair or walking aids won't be able to access them.

植物园是个非常适合散步的好去处。逛完整个园子需要几个小时。夏季和初秋是最佳游览时间,那时植物竞相开放。园内有一片草坪,您可以带上野餐毯和食物(请勿使用玻璃容器),如果需要,还可以带上折叠椅。玩具、运动器材(例如球类或飞盘)以及宠物都不能携带。您可以携带相机,据我所知,您还可以携带绘画材料来素描花卉。园内有很多舒适的角落供您放松阅读,不过座椅的舒适度略逊于风景。
园内有一个大型儿童游乐区(寻找那条龙),里面有滑梯、迷宫和一个巨大的南瓜。以前,墙上会伸出巨大的橡胶蠕虫和其他一些可以触摸的玩具,但即使在开幕当天,这些玩具就开始出现损坏。
12月,植物园会在傍晚和夜幕降临后举办“灯光之河”活动,届时整个园区都会被精美的灯光秀点亮。门票价格不菲,但绝对值得一看。不过,今年地中海温室的灯光秀和音乐表演取消了。这里总是人山人海,门票需要提前购买,而且经常售罄。建议购买最早时段的门票,并提前30分钟到达以便停车。园内可能会比较冷,尤其是在停留几个小时的情况下,所以一定要穿暖和些。
植物园还会举办其他特别活动,例如音乐会,建议您查看其官网了解详情。
园内许多道路都是泥土路或碎石路,因此很多使用轮椅或助行器的人可能无法通行。
