What people say

"This is a free, massive botanical garden that doesn’t have the hype of the (beautiful!) Jardin de Luxembourg, but is so lovely to visit! It that has tons to do within its realm (many are kid-friendly)! Aside from a free library to visit, there are several paid activities: - Museum of Natural History - The Menagerie (the Zoo) - NOT the same as the Zoological park! - The Grand Gallery of Evolution - The Gallery of Paleontology & Anatomy - Grandes Serres, it looks like a giant greenhouse and you can learn about plant evolution inside Family passes (2 adults, 2 kids) linked below."
