    Beautiful horses and surroundings! Due to lack of time, have been only able to enjoy caressing those beautiful horses outside. Very calming and enjoyable! It’s a must do experience 🐴🤗🇸🇮 Next time going to spend a weekend at their hotel!

    A very nice and enjoyable "one in a time" adventure for parents and children. We planned this trip as a surprise for my daughter's birthday. Recommended. We recommend a guided tour, a show and a carriage ride. It's the only way to experience the real pulse of the estate, and to learn a lot of new things. The friendly staff made us feel like we were part of their team. You see, horses are really their family, they really love them.

    Lipica is original home and the biggest Lipizzaner stud farm in the world with more than 360 horses. It's worth buying daily ticket for 16 € (adult). You get unlimited daily access to internal farm area and 50 mintues guided tour in 5 languages (Eng, Fr, Ita, Ger, Slo) and free entrance to horse breeding museum. With a ticket coupon you get also 25% entrance fee discount to Skocjanske jame (Skocjan caves) and to Museum of Military History. There are several places to walk around and investigate on your own like old chappel etc.

    Not so experiential. Its very expensive if you want entrance to complex. But there Is also free park and if you are lucky you can see horses too.

    Horses are nice and the museum is interesting but not worth 18€ entrance. Look at the mares as they go to the pastures in the morning (~10 am) and come back in the evening (~6 pm) for free from the road. You can even touch them there for free.

    Honestly a bit disappointed. For the €18 p.p. entree fee, which is the most basic one as it does not include the training session or the show, you gain entrance to domain. This includes several open to the public stables, a gift shop and a museum. It's certainly a nice place to walk around, but there simply isn't much to do (a few hours at most). I felt like I saw more horses while driving to the entrance than on the domain itself.

    Quite expensive entrance (children pay just 1€ but as parent you still have to pay full price) and not so much attractions for little ones in return. Only “workshop” with ponies, where they can comb hairs. No rides or contacts with the horse. The attractions are kept at the very minimalistic level. A pity :-/ If you plan to book a room in a hotel nearby, there is sometimes a special offer connected with one type of a room (on booking.com) that already includes entrance to stables, pony workshop and carriage ride - then you can avoid some of additional costs.

    It is great to learn about the breeding and the history of the Lipizian horse in such a historical and well kept location. We visited with a family ticket and saw the show, the visit is less interesting if you miss the show. Check the schedule beforehand for the shows. I definitely recommend it if you like horses. I think it is less appealing if you have little interest in horses.

    Really nice and organized farm with lots of interesting things to see. Horse show worth seeing! Only bad experience is with fast food tent in front of the entrance. Poorly organized, not very friendly to each other which is not professional in front of the guests. Food is not very tasty as well. Would recommend some additional food service since hotel restaurant is more high class.

    If you like horses and nature, this is the place to be. There is accommodation and restaurant on site should you want to spend more than a day here. Perfect place for children as well, the park is big and there is a playground.

    As a horse lover and rider I thought Lipica would be one of the highlights of the trip to Slovenia, but I have to say, regrettably it was a waste of money and a disappointment. Even though the weather was okay the training session (where visitors watch) had been cancelled and so all you could do was walk around, but there isn't much too see. If you're lucky you can still find someone training a horse somewhere and watch, but that's it. To be fair, there was a nice lady giving a free tour, but it lasted only 25 minutes and focused on the buildings and history, barely any information about the breed characteristics, nothing about the riding style etc. Unfortunately she forgot to mention that of the three small museums on the premises two (art & carriages) would be closed without her keys and when I came back to visit them later during the day the staff I stumbled upon and asked had no access and couldn't help me. In the one open museum (history of horses) the majority of video screens didn't work, and the souvenir shop was closed as well. Surprise. Half the stables are off limits to visitors (mares with foals and most stallions, which makes sense, you don't want masses waltzing though there). You can also walk the alleys along the lush green meadows, which were 95% empty though, horses were on only one. In short, I'm sad to say I don't know what I paid 18€ for, half would have been more than enough. Maybe it's more worth it in the summer, but especially with kids or if you're not that into horses, I'd think twice given the entry fee.

    Lipica is a historical place where the Lipizzaners come from. It is a must go for all the horse lovers, animal and nature lovers. You can hike, ride, or drive with the carriage through the huge area. Around 350 white horses on the pastures, paddocks, in work... lots of beautiful moments you can capture there. It is a place where you should allow yourself to get lost in time and enjoy every moment💝

    The estate is very nicely arranged and is worth a visit. We also bought a carriage ride, a really nice experience. The horses are beautiful, you can see a lot of them. The employees are very friendly and lovingly groom and take care of the horses. You can observe the horses both in the stables and outdoors, on the meadows. In Lipica they also offer a tour of the training sessions of the Lipizzaners, a performance of the Lipizzan riding school, various workshop for children such as first contact with a horse, pony riding. Inside the estate you can also see the oldest stable, walk through the centuries-old avenues, see the Lipikum museum and the carriage museum, you can see the Gallery of August Cernigoj and buy some nice souvenirs in the souvenir shop. But the best thins is, of course, watching the Lipizzaner.

    Great view of horses but prices could be a little more student friendly ;)

    The guides have been very pleasant and helpful with questions. Lots and lots of beautiful horses. The Programm has been fun and entertaining. Looking forward to come again.

    We had a great experience in the farm with a 15 mins (€20) carriage ride on top of the farm entrance including the museum. The staff is so friendly & helpful. The multi option guided tour is certainly a bonus.

    We had a great Open Day in kobilarna Lipica! Ranch itself is great, with beautiful horses. Just missed some more guidance to point us to interesting spots. If I was a horse fan, I would probably rate it 5 stars... :-)

  • 3/5 Balazs M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place for the horses, but not as much to see as you would expect from their website. Most things are closed either because of COVID or because end of season.

  • 5/5 Gregor P. 2 years ago on Google
    When you pay, I recomend you join a guided tour and after explore it on your own. Parking is free of charge and don’t expect a lot of restaurants/places to eat. Staff is briliant, but they lack marketing skills. Come to enjoy nature and horses.

  • 5/5 Jacob M. 6 years ago on Google
    We had a great experience here and thought the place represented great value for money. We recommend a short carriage ride and watching a training session if you have time.

  • 3/5 Aleksander P. 2 years ago on Google
    Landscape and horses are great. Just only the catering offer is poor. The only restaurant opens at 10 am and there is no food until 12 am. I couldn't get even a sandwich yet ....unbelievable 😲😲😲😠😠😠👎👎👎👎
