Bästa tid att besöka

It is most beautiful in the early morning hours, right after opening, when the air is fresh and the birds are most active. The rainy season (May-October) brings lusher greenery and fewer crowds.

Budgettips

Adult admission is about 15 USD, and children under 12 enter for free. Bring your own drink and snack as prices in the garden are higher than in the city.

Om

Snabba fakta: The strongest asset is the room dedicated to the Jamaican "intuitive" art movement, where works by self-taught artists such as Everald Brown and Malalka Brooks are exhibited. Their paintings are so raw and expressive that you will literally feel the energy of Kingston's streets as you walk through the gallery.

Höjdpunkter: Spanning 200 hectares, this is the largest botanical garden in the Caribbean. It grows over 200 species of palms and rare tropical plants from around the world.

Insidertips

Wear light cotton clothing and comfortable walking shoes; the humidity and sun can be relentless.
The best photos are taken in the bamboo alley between 9 and 11 am when the light is softest.
Visit the Chinese garden and orchid house first while it is still cool, and plan lunch in the shade by the central pond.
Weekends are significantly quieter than weekdays when school groups fill the space.
