Beautiful gardens - So many beautiful things to see! I highly recommend this experience! It takes several hours (4-5) if you really want to take the time to see just about everything. Highly recommend !

Lovely way to spend a day! - Love the toucan house and the interaction with butterflies & hummingbirds! Everything was so beautifully landscaped and clean. We’re didn’t do the waterfall trail because we spent so much time on the animals!

Worth the walk - We took a guided tour of this attraction. It is an amazing hike. It will require you to be in shape but you don’t need to be an athlete to take the tour. Plenty of time for picture taking. Highly recommended.

Beautiful - Wonderful views of the falls. Recommend the lunch buffet, reasonably priced, $9 for kids, and $14 for adults. Animals looked well cared for. Big cats wake around 3:30 for feeding. Fern trail behind the trout pond is less crowded and offers more falls views. Didn’t see large tourists groups on this trail, which made it more relaxing.

A great end to a beautiful time in Costa Rica! - This was a perfect way to end our trip to Costa Rica. La Paz is close to the airport and had something to offer for everyone in our group to enjoy (ages 9- 72!). The buffet lunch was excellent as well.

Fabulous - make sure you allocate plenty of time! You don’t want to rush! - The gardens are amazing, waterfalls are breathtaking. The buffet lunch is quite tasty. We had four generations of family there, 10 people ranging in age from 6 to 76. Spent about three hours, and did not have time to see the entire park. Will go back again to see the rest of it. The trail to view the waterfalls take some time. Good bit of hiking up and down, but with a little effort, definitely doable for most people.
