One of the best solo trips i had! This place is amazing, but creepy if you're alone. Forest on your own.

I came here for the Philippine Raptors but was disappointed that they have been transferred. It was a dismal and poorly maintained park with derelict areas but still had a beautiful collection of beautiful endemic trees, palms, shrubs, herbs, vines, ferns. There used to be lots of indigenous flowering plants, but there are now very few, which is sad because the Philippines has a wide variety of these. Most of the signages were not legible anymore. The waste bins exemplified the sorry state of the park with garbage that has not been collected for some time.

Needs upkeep but the tranquility of the place and the fresh air soothe the troubled soul and harried mind.

A great place to relax and unwind. The entrance fee increased by 20 pesos compared to what is shown on Google. It is also far but it's worth the travel. I suggest people to go early to enjoy the nature trail. Wear comfy clothes and shoes and bring food.

Open daily (dunno during holidays), from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. with an entrance fee of 40 php while 30 php for senior citizens and for students. The place is located inside University of the Philippines Los Baños (Forestry area). Jeepneys are available to take you there, though not as often compared to the ones in Freedom Park. Makiling Botanic Gardens is a peaceful site among the individuals who are craving for nature scenery as an escape from the busy, crowded, and traffic city life. Pets are not allowed inside though. Tables are provided to enjoy eating with friends or family and there are enough trash cans around, so please do not leave your undesirable trace behind.

I bet this park was a beautiful sanctuary back then. Now it felt like that beauty is not being maintained well. Rusty poles, closed gates, lot of trash on the pathways, wild grass all everywhere. I think this place is just cleaned when there is an event happening. True, it’s real close to nature when you’re inside, birds chirping, rays of the sun breaks through the leaves of huge trees, varieties of Philippine-endemic plants are being kept. But it’s clearly being abused by the visitors. And prolly the management is not seeing the problem of trash. Been here twice.

What a great place to learn Botany and at the same time breathe fresh air! We brought our Korean students here for an educational fieldtrip. We have recieved outstanding hospitality from the UPLB community. Thank you for all your help and assistance in making our trip a roaring success. Thank you to our tour guides who patiently and excitedly shared with our students the various fauna of the Philippines and how these biodiversity help the country's industry! What a great time! I trust that our students were able to learn a lot, and appreciate the efforts being done by the community in supporting Philippine biodiversity.
