Garden of Eden Arboretum

We truly stopped here because my mom-in-law had to go to the restroom. We stayed because the place is amazing....and because we had to pay $15/person to get in then go use the facilities.nWe may have missed a sign saying that but we didn't seem to be the only ones confused about that. The restrooms before the entrance, at the snack shack, were closed/out of order so we didn't have much choice.nAgain though...this place is beautiful and we are thankful we made the stop.

What a BEAUTIFUL place. It poured the entire time, I got completely soaked, and I couldn't keep my jaw from touching the floor! I was in awe the entire time. So incredible. I spent nearly three hours here. So much to explore, so much beauty. I had an amazing experience.

Cool place to get out and walk around. They have an excellent view of on of the road to Hana's waterfalls and the coast line. They advertised that you can see a rock/scenery that was used in Jurassic Park. Maybe I had too high expectations of what they were talking about...It was a bit of a let down because its this little rock that is down on the coastline. Apparently it was part of the opening sequence of footage when we see Jurassic park for the first time.nAnother con: It does cost $15 a person which is a little high especially since there are a lot of nature trails that are free on the road to Hana. However, they had labels on a lot of the different trees/flowers, nice parking lots and facilities, and a clean restroom. So overall, it was a nice find.

My wife and I loved our time at the gardens. Such an incredible variety of plants and trees, with many flowering and fruiting species. The gift shop had some real original local creations. Highly recommend, we spent an hour there.

I enjoyed this place. I only wish that there was more of it. It ended way too quick. Oh but they keep it true nature so watch out for the huge spiders on the bathroom building. We almost missed the peacocks so keep your eyes peeled ud83dudc40
