Monica Widman
★★★★★a month agoBeautiful greenhouses and gardens with picnic tables if you want to pack a picnic( or small kiosk for crepes, Ice-cream) , a few animals and a playground for children. Restrooms near the entrance (also wheelchair accessible). Parking streetside could be problematic 2 hr max. Parking lot may be a better option. Located directly in front of Nice airport.

★★★★★2 months agoAmazing! What great value, our kids were free and we were only €5.50 each to get in. If this was in the UK it would be about £25-30 each, if not more..! We had such a lovely morning wandering around and enjoying all the park has to offer, we could probably have spent longer if we didn't have plans in the afternoon. Worth a visit for sure.
