Perdana Botanical Garden
Taman Botani Perdana
Kuala Lumpur's oldest park, ringed by a lake, orchid garden, hibiscus garden, deer park and bird park. A green lung in the city.
Originally named Lake Gardens, the park was established in 1888 by British colonial officials. Covering about 90 hectares, it is the city's largest recreational park and was renamed Perdana Botanical Garden in 2011. Inside are a man-made lake, an orchid garden, a garden of hibiscus (the national flower), a deer park, a butterfly park and wide lawns. Surrounded by the Bird Park, the National Monument, the Islamic Arts Museum and other sights, it works well as a link between the museum district's attractions. The park itself is free, though some themed areas charge admission. Electric tour cars operate inside the park. Getting there: take a taxi from MRT Muzium Negara station or from the area near KL Sentral.
