national botanical garden印象

You could buy a ticket that gave you entry into the park, the small museum, and a train ride. I didn't take the train ride (walked around instead), though I did go into the museum. You get a guide (who spoke Spanish) that takes you through some exhibits that focused on the plants and wildlife of the Dominican Republic. Non-locals unfortunately have to pay a higher rate than locals, but it still was not too expensive (about $5 US if I recall correctly.)The gardens themselves were very neat. There was a large section of tropical forest, with some interpretive signs to identify trees, birds, etc. There was also an herb garden, and a more traditional garden near the entrance. It was a nice place to walk around for a while.

You can spend all day here . It's free if you go early and walk.At 9am they start charging and there is a constant supply of tourist trains to take you around which you might need in the heat of the day. There is only food and toilets at the entrance so be prepared ! There are plenty of places to get shade. We spent 4 hours here and it was fascinating in terms of all the birds butterflies, lizards and beautiful plants.

Going there for a stroll or Jog is always a pleasure. The vegetation makes is more interesting and less stressful. There are many people that go on a regular basis. There is a train ride which I suggest you take once to learn about the garden. The museum...well not the best use of your time! Stick to the outdoors!

I've never been to a botanical garden where most of the exhibits are closed and the pathways are driveways so you have worry about being run over. I'd skip it.

This is a magnificent botanical garden. Great variety of tropical plants and endemic plants of the Dominican ecosystems. The park is enormous and it offers a great strolls inside and outside. It has just inaugurated a butterfly area. I love it.

Interesting though simple summary of the different areas within the DR; an opportunity to wander in a quiet oasis in a loud city and truly beautiful and tranquil Japanese Garden. A small train is available to take visitors around the Botanical Garden on a schedule.

We only had about an hour to see the garden before it closed, and because it began raining hard, we took the tram tour. The tour goes a bit fast for my taste (I like to look at all the plants!) but is good for a quick visit. They can arrange English interpretation if needed (they will look at your ticket and if you're a foreigner they'll ask what language you need), but they have to find someone to do it, so I tipped the guide. The Japanese garden is a quick stop, beautiful in its own right but the constant photography sessions for weddings and quinceaneras are a feature in their own right! One thing that impressed me about this section of the garden were the hundreds of tiny native Tolumnia variegata orchids that have taken up residence in the topiary Podocarpus trees. They'll flower in the dry season (Dec-March) so look out for them. If you're really into plants, make sure to visit for half or whole day to have time to walk through the forest reserve and see all the exhibit pavilions.

it´s an excellent option to go with the family, it´s a very well kept botanical garden and has a lot of different ecosystems, If you like to run or jog is also a nice place to do with more than 5 miles of treads

A great thing to do, ride the train or walk through, Japanese gardens is stunning! Nice getaway from busy city, but not too far from downtown.

The park was beautiful and enormous. We took the train ride, but had to wait quite awhile before someone came out to operate the train. We were the only ones there, and usually I think they wait for more people. The train ride takes about half an hour, and they let you get off at the Japanese garden for 15 minutes. We gave our taxi driver a set time to come back, so by the time we waited for the train ride and completed the train ride, we really didn't have much time left to explore.This park is massive, so I would suggest getting your hands on a good map (perhaps before you go, I didn't really see any maps available in the park which was odd). Take the train ride, then decide which areas you would want to explore on foot. And eat a good meal before. There didn't look like there was much choice of food and you could easily spend hours here. Don't bother going into the museum.If I ever return to Santo Domingo, I would definitely like to come back here for a whole afternoon and spend the day here.
