Traveler reviews

    Peaceful and beautiful, worth wandering the full perimeter to see a huge camphor tree on one corner. Toilets were closed/out of order when we visited in April. Tickets are half price if you've been to visit the medieval walls the same day.

  • Alea Finlay

    ★★★★★2 years ago

    4€ entry per person and definitely worth a visit if you're in Pisa and interested in science/nature. Good activity away from the big crowds of tourists too. Lovely flowers and interesting tropical greenhouses. Beautiful trees and bamboo provide shade on a warm day.
