We took the metro to the Botanical Gardens and it could have not been any easier. The station was in the basement of the hotel, we just used a credit card to get thru the turnstile and it was only 7 stops to get to the botanical garden. New birds, giant monitor lizards, turtles, a funky squirrel, a huge blue bee and more were seen and enjoyed. We walked at a leisurely pace to get to the National Orchid Garden
