A MUST VISIT IN OKINAWA!!! If you love gardens and nature, PLEASE do not miss this place! I wish I could give more than 5 stars, it was a 10/10 experience, 100%, A+++++ garden (especially for the price of entry).

The attention to detail of this place is absolutely mind-blowing. I have visited a lot of botanical/tropical gardens in my life, but this one has to be my favourite!

Pick up a map on entry and a stamp rally sheet just for fun.

The first areas lives some of the most perfect, most beautiful orchids I have ever seen in my life. There is a beautiful outdoor pond with lots of lily pads and fish. The next greenhouse houses all kinds of tropical fruit trees.

As you continue onwards, there is a small room where all the BUGS live! Rhino and Hercules beetles that are so big, they give you the heebie-jeebies looking at them. They mostly staying still, so don't bother them.

The spiral tower takes you to an amazing outdoor observatory of Okinawa (elevator also available or stairs, if you're into that).

Next stop is a greenhouse with many black and white butterflies. It was magical, like a disney-movie. You can watch them flutter around, feeding on the flowers.

The last area is a sunflower garden - some areas newly seeded, some areas have beautiful sunflowers already.

I could easily spend 2-3hrs here, just strolling around. It was very, very quiet when I visited mid-March. Very little tourists. Should I visit Okinawa again, I will come back here and show all my friends.

Outside of the Tropical Dream Centre is also amazing grounds to walk around. I feel the whole area would be a full-day experience.
