Very impressing, we were here with our 3 kids and we really enjoyed our visit. The statues are amazing, the kids also thought they were really cool. You can walk around once to get an overall view and then again for all the details you've missed. There's a lot of shade in the garden too and a little cafetaria at the entrance for some ice cream and a drink, so you can also come during a hot summer day.

Amazing group of statues , of all sizes, all scattered across the Parc.
You need to book in advance for weekends, it can be crowded!
There is a cafetiera and parking
Th artwork is not described at all, you need to come well prepared and with you own information available.
But very impressive in any case .

Wonderful park in the nature, surrendered by the olive trees. Sculptures are beautiful. Since it is open air, steepy slope place, it's better to go later. For us, it took 1-hiur to see everything. There is free parking space, cafeteria, shop of the park. Very well organized place.

Absolutely fantastic. I went on their last open Monday in October. The weather, scenery and sculptures could not have been more perfect. It wasn't crowded and you can walk around experiencing the park at your own pace.

Amazing place!
I had no idea this place existed until a friend told me about it.
Niki de Saint Phalle build a magical garden, great for bringing your kids. For sure they will enjoy it.
There’s no need to buy your tickets in advance, you can get them there without a problem.
There’s free parking!

Saw pictures of this place 15 years ago in a book on personal obsessions. Exceeded my expectations as I saw this creative labour of love and passion. Well worth a Bucket list visit .

Lovely sculpture garden in Tuscany of one of my favorite contemporary artists. It was not my first time there and most likely not my last. Helpful and friendly staff, a wonderful experience overall.

In my ignorance, I expected a little better grotesque amusement park for children, but instead I found serious art with deep meaning. It can be appreciated at different levels, purely visual, but if you will read about the artist's life, it will be even more interesting. A true gem, not to be missed, if you are in the area.

Cool eclectic garden made by artists. It is in a lesser touristic area of Italy, but worth a visit. Just get your tickets online and make plenty of pictures

Wow! The pictures don't tell enough. The statues are huge and the experience worth the trip to go there!

This place was on my bucket list and I'm not disappointed! Truly a magical place.
A beautiful sculpture garden by the great artist Niki de Saint phalle.
There was a entrance fee around 10€, they have student and people-over-65 discount.
Many great sculptures in the garden which some of them you can enter, like the one Niki lived in when she build the park.
There was a bit crowded with a lot of kids running around but if you're lucky you'll get some time of your own in the sculptures.
By the exit they had a small shop you could by the niki-tarot, t-shirts, books, plates and so.
No restaurants nearby but a small ice-cream shop on the parking lot.

Wow! Absolutely stunning. Got there late, but almost no one else was there, and the light was gorgeous.

Great park in the middle of Tuscany's countryside! It's very bizarre to find such big sculptures while walking in the park but I found it very interesting! It's good to follow the map and the description of every statue and every art piece!
I would suggest to avoid the hottest hours of the day as it's almost all under the sun!

This garden opens only in summer, the ticket price is around 10 euro and it is better go there with comfortable shoes. It is a perfect mix of nature and architecture. Many Italians don’t know this wonderful place.

very cool sculpture, took a while to wait in line but once in was a quick jaunt around the garden to see everything. they have free water spigots up top if you are thirsty. can buy a major arcana set inspired by the sculpture!

Interesting park with unexpected artwork. Very well kept and run - huge parking and nice cafe by the entrance with indoor and outdoor tables. Gift shop items are overpriced but there's no obligation to buy anything

Despite all the resistance and setbacks for the Tarot Garden, it is quite impressive what the artist Niki de Saint Phalle has created in her life's work with her husband. Every visit here is absolutely worth seeing!

A very surprising place! I did not expect any similar! I thought it was just another garden between thousands but it is not like this!
It is instead a Wonderful place and well organized, with just a bar at the parking and a small souvenirs shop at the exit.
If you are lucky, you could have a guide included on the price of the ticket, if you go to visit the "garden" on Friday afternoon.
It would be so much funniest if you take a round through the "tarocchi sculpture" by your own before to have the explication of the guide!
If you are in holiday or travelling around the south of tuscany, well, you must not loose it!

Niki de Saint Phalle's Tarot Garden is absolutely magic! As a professional tarot reader, this felt like a pilgrimage for me, but I would think that anyone with an interest in sculpture and colour and over-the-top creativity would love it.

The price is very reasonable considering the fabulousness of the place and the obvious care in maintaining the garden. The staff were so friendly - I felt very welcome there. I enjoyed it so much I spent at least 3 hours there, and then I went back the following day and spent another 3 hours!

I highly recommend going there, and do take your time if possible - soak it all up as much as you can. There are so many nooks & crannies and little details. If you can, learn about the story of the garden as well and how it was built so that you can fully appreciate what an extraordinary place this is. I am so grateful that I got to go, and I hope to return again one day.
