Art and Garden

Reviewed By Lynnette58 - Hobart, Australia

Yes, it's a hidden gem, amazing, quite difficult to find, and not listed in the major tourist attraction brochures. It is more than worth the effort to find, especially if you have had your fill of the traditional tourist fare. The plants and the glass art are beautiful, as are the mosaic steps around the garden. For us, this was a real highlight. Beautiful, hidden away, tranquil and welcoming. Not accessible for those with mobility problems

Monkey Cup

Reviewed By mrleejp - Tashkent, Uzbekistan

I noticed a sign for Monkey cup while at the entrance to Habitat and made the 1000m to check it out. I wasn't disappointed. Holding the scorpions and checking out their garden with a guide in toe. It was a well spent 30 minutes and I certainly felt I got value for the entry free (12RM). I would recommend anyone going who has an interest in the unusual plants of Malaysia. There was also a coffee house and once your done the guide will offer you a lift back to the furnicular station. All in all, happy I stumbled accross the place.
