This is one of our favorite temples since we used to live down the street. I spent a LOT of time walking Fiona around here in her first year - the flower seller and monks loved to hold her hand and give her treats when we visited. 

We rate the peaceful atmosphere and jungley vibes. As a forest temple, there’s more to explore which is great for kids, but keep in mind it is still a temple and a meditation center so you’re expected to help maintain the calm and quiet. The fish pond is usually a highlight for the little ones. The inspirational quotes scattered around provide nice talking points for older kids. It's a bit off the usual tourist track, which means it's usually pleasantly uncrowded.

Do remember to dress appropriately for visiting a temple.
