Actually for favourite place I have visited with the family in Edinburgh yet, if only the sun shone every day like it did when we were here.
I understand that a botanical garden is not designed to be a play ground, but adding one would definitely increase the enjoyment of this visit or a maze of some type a modern one with puzzles maybe based on the flora in the park or an electronic tagging speed monitor for completion.
Food eateries were excellent.
