There is no entrance fee, and the reserve is open daily from sunrise to sunset.

Follow the winding footpaths with city views to see the waterfalls and fountains. Photography enthusiasts will love the tranquil backdrop for some memorable shots. See if you can find the stone sundial that “only counts the sunny hours”. Look out also for the animal sculptures dotted around the reserve.
