Guests can enjoy a picnic in the cottages, take a leisurely stroll through the gardens, or rent a bike to explore the area. There is also a lagoon where visitors can go boating, and a playground for children. A newer attraction, the Rabbit Garden, allows kids to interact with and feed rabbits, making the park even more engaging for young visitors.\n\nThe park is generally open daily, with entrance fees that are affordable and government-subsidized.
