  This is an excellent day trip from Rome or on the way out of Rome into Tuscany. If you're an art fan, you'll definitely enjoy the connection to Dali. But these sculptures stand out on their own merit as well. The star on the show, in my opinion, is the hell mouth. Although it's a bit infested with mosquitos inside, it's definitely a wonderful photo op and if you're a singer, the acoustics are insane. Thoroughly enjoyable. If you're looking for a tip, I'd visit this place and then drive to Capalbio to visit the absolutely incredible Tarot Garden sculptures. That would be a slam dunk of a day!

  Well worth a visit, even with young children. The statues are fascinating for adults and children and the entrance fee was not excessive for what you see, considering the upkeep needed.

  I have found this park fascinating because it brought back my memories from my travel to Asia. The park is located in the beautiful forest and the randomly dropped sculptures create the mysterious ambience. Very interesting place to visit.

  It's a lovely place. For obvious reasons, maintaining such park is not easy but I found it nice. They should put signs to indicate the route one should take. Dogs are not allowed, OF COURSE: WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE FORI ROMANI? I guess one can take their dogs to public parks: it's called common sense. They should make children pay more than adults as they play around and totally ruin the atmosphere of the place.

  From the very first "monster" we came across, I was hooked! I love, love, love this place! I was so very fortunate that some friends were willing to drive the 1.5 hours from Rome to Bomarzo to visit this amazing "garden". If you have an opportunity to go, GRAB IT!

  If you are in the area of Viterbo, don't pass this wonderful place. Just on the outskirts of the town of Bomarzo, the park lies in a sheltered valley and within its acres , houses a collection of wonderful 16th century sculptures & buildings that were built to astonish. They still do... Count Orsini had them created to mourn the passing of his beloved wife , and they are a mixture of the beautiful and the macabre - still in excellent condition. There is a café, toilets and you are given a route map to make sure you don't miss any of them - so great fun for all the family. Some of the topography of the site is a little steep, so if your a little immobile - you may decide not to do the complete route.

  We had a wonderful time visiting Parco die Mostri and Villa Lante in the same day. They are two extremely different styles of landscape. This park is in a wonderful wooded location. The sculptures here blend right into the landscape. Monsters, giants, a giant turtles, elephants in battle ,nymphs and a tilted house were all a delight. Prince Pier Francesco Orsini had quite an imagination. I would love to return.

  The park in itself is beautiful and the setting of those old statues in nature is simply breathtaking. Adults enjoy figuring out the clues of the initiation ritual that obviously inspired the architect of the place whereas children will enjoy the park itself and the natural environment.

  Without a car you need to do abit of forward planning to get to the Park of Monsters. The Cotral blue buses leave from the bus terminal 10 minutes walk from Porto Fiornetino gate. It only takes about 25 minutes Eur1.30 each way. You need to ask the bus driver to tell you when you reach Bomarzo and even then for me he forgot but only had to walk a little further back to the stop. It's just outside the Farmacia (little rounabout). Walk down the hill but instead of following the directions for cars which took me along the main road outside of town, it's easier to walk through the historic centre...you will need to ask the general direction that will take you out to the other side (there's a fountain). Keep walking down past a car park and you will see signs to the park entrance on the right. Somehow half the fun of seeing a place is the satisfaction of getting there by not the easy option of a car.
