About This Place
It is one of the oldest attractions in Cameron Highlands. It is round a curve between Brinchang and Tanah Rata.
Because of its location, it’s a convenient stop between other attractions.
And they have a visitor car park too. Which does not have applicable parking fees.
The place is both a tourist attraction and a gardening supply shop.
Entrance Fees
It is completely free to wander into this nursery and browse through their collection of cacti and other plants.
PS: There is a modest strawberry section too. It is at the far right of the shop and close to the toilets at the back.
What To See
There are so many different species of cacti to see. And in between rows of young cacti are more mature cacti. Some are nearing the ceiling.
The large rounds ones at the back are for sale too. Although the price tags are just as hefty as the cacti themselves.
Most of the nursery is devoted to cacti. But they do have a smaller flower section upfront too.
The secret to their stunning blooms is evident in the air – chicken poop fertilizer. And you can see that they also use a lot of it for their cacti.
What To Buy
At the very back of the nursery is a gift shop and arcade section. But while they are in good shape, it looks like these two sections don’t see much action.
The front of the shop is where the counter is. As well as a tremendous selection of plastic and ceramic pots for indoor plants.
There are all shapes and sizes and many styles to choose from. Additionally, the prices are very affordable.
We could not resist getting 3 sizeable ceramic pots – and our total came up to RM60!
Overview
What we like:
- Many gorgeous plants to see – especially cacti

Conclusion
If you haven’t been to Cactus Point before, or just have some time to pass, this is a great 30-minute stop.
Anyone who looks after plants can especially appreciate how much the plants here are thriving. And pick up some plants or gardening supplies at the same time!
And what’s more, it doesn’t cost anything to visit this place! Unlike other paid attractions like Agro Market, Lavender Garden, or Cameron Highlands Flora Park.
Cactus Valley
This is a paid attraction but we think the presentation of cacti is more attractive at Cactus Valley than at Cactus Point. But due to the hilly terrain and stairs to climb, this place is unsuitable for wheelchairs and anyone with mobility issues.
