This place is kind of a must visit for first timers in Mahabaleshwar. It maintains not only Garden but has in house open restaurant and big Mapro products galleria (sample tasting available). It is very well maintained and suitable for all. You would definitely encounter rush during peak days/seasons. One star less because the customer don't really get much discount/deals for Mapro products and same can also be purchased from Mahabaleshwar central market. But still good place to hangout. Suitable for all.
Mapro is a brand name associated with delicious fruit-based products. Mapro Garden is a famous tourist attraction nestled in the beautiful hill station of Panchgani. It was established in the 1980s as an extension of the Mapro Foods Factory which enabled visitors to see the production of jams and syrups and also buy their favourite jams and juices after tasting them from the retail outlet that is present here. With greenery all around, one will find a chocolate factory, a restaurant, a small nursery, children's play area, an auditorium which showcases the journey of Mapro products and retail outlet selling Mapro products. On realising that the customers enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, they began serving ice-cream and later on other food items made from organic ingredients were put up on the menu, and today, it has turned into an iconic tourist destination.
