Entry to the gardens is free and information can be collected from the main gate entrance. The garden is pretty big so it won’t be a bad idea to grab a map from the main gate and you can also hire a bike if you like to explore this huge garden via bike.
On a hot summer day, you may want to grab a water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat if possible because you may have to walk a fair bit to explore the whole garden, and having these things handy will help.
