Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the entrance — a screenshot or downloaded version works fine, so there is no need to print anything.

What is the difference between the audio guide and the expert guide options?

The audio guide ticket lets you explore independently at your own pace using a multilingual recording. The expert guide option pairs you with a local spice specialist for a structured, interactive tour — you will need to select a specific time slot when booking.

What are the opening hours?

The garden is open Monday to Thursday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Friday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Last admission is one hour before closing.

Is the garden suitable for young children?

Yes — children under 5 enter free of charge. Please note that children under 16 are not permitted to join the Forest Bathing activity, though all other areas of the garden are open to families.

Is the garden accessible for visitors with mobility difficulties?

Parts of the garden include inclines and uneven terrain, so some trails may be challenging for visitors with limited mobility. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is strongly advised for all visitors.

Can I cancel my booking if my plans change?

Cancellation terms depend on the ticket option selected. Please review the cancellation policy shown at checkout before confirming your booking.
