Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Arrive at 8 AM sharp. The marmosets are most active in the first hour and the morning light through the palm avenue is golden for photos.
Don't feed the marmosets -- it's illegal and teaches them to beg. They'll come within 3 feet naturally anyway.
Bring a picnic for under the imperial palms. Shaded benches near the lake are usually quiet.
The orchid house has 3,000+ species. Give kids a 'find the weirdest flower' challenge.
There's a children's garden near the cafe with sensory plants and a mini-maze.

A Real Parent's Story
The marmoset that photobombed our Christmas card
“A wild marmoset jumped onto my son's shoulder while we were eating croissants under the palms. He froze, I snapped. That photo is now our family Christmas card.”
Read full story
We went on a weekday morning and had the garden almost to ourselves. The highlight wasn't the orchids or the palms -- it was a marmoset that made friends with our 5-year-old. It sat on his shoulder, nibbled a croissant crumb, and posed like a pro. The garden is vast and peaceful, and the 360m imperial palm avenue is unmatched for photos.
