No food, drinks and picnic allowed (there's screening at the entrance). No restaurant, food stand, public bathrooms or playground. It's a park with an entry fee (higher prices on weekends) that has info signs on the manifold trees, but if that's what you expect it's great. It's beautiful with long hiking trails through forests, bushes, groves, shrubs and along a few small lakes. Not as crowded as I thought. It's beautiful and restful, although a bigger street right at the edge of the park creates a steady background noise. It's good to bring kids although there's no playground. There's swans, fish, ducks, turtles and a few bunnies. Although you can't really feed them if you can't bring any food. I'd say it's a great place to go to if you live relatively close. But I don't think it's worth sitting on public transportation for 2 hours to get here, like we did.

Such a scenic place any time of year, but especially magical during fall season. The colors of trees and foliage are breath taking varying from shades of yallow, reds and greens, as this park is made of trees resembling all the trees of Turkey with a couple two small lakes that are ether man made or shaped for a relaxing and a serene experience, avoid weekends and bank holiday. Food and beverages are not allowed here and there is a fee for entering.

The garden is beautiful, the staff know how to protect very well. It was very clean, silent and very beautiful. There are 17 parsel to see. They don’t allow the food, pet, tripot, gimbal etc. You can only take a water with you. The bags are allowed doesn’t matter the size. There is free park lot. We went with my friend and spent almost 2 hrs to see around. I liked it and believe that the most beautiful time to visit this garden is autumn. 🍁🍁🍁 Entrance fee is 7.5 tl for week day, 20 tl for weekend and for student is just 2.5 tl.

Highly recommended to visit it , i suggest yo all to change their destination from Switzerland to Istanbul

WOW If you are looking for a silent place with beautiful and various types of tree 🌳 🌲 and two attractive lakes. Spend more than 3 hours to walk and enjoy. Take a look at my photos.

Peaceful and beautiful area. We took the M2 metro line to the final Hacıosman spot then caught the 42HM bus from outside the Metro to the street adjacent to Atatürk Arboretum. Crazy crowded bus but worth it for the convenience of the direct route and affordable travel. Long line on a fall season Sunday to get in. 20₺ admission per person when we visited in November, 2019. No outside food allowed (it will be confiscated). Water is okay to bring inside. Fresh air and lovely trees. Recommended time to experience it fully: 2-3 hours. Wear comfortable shoes. Hilly walking paths because, well, this is İstanbul! 🙂

An incredible park right outside Istanbul. It's like a botanical garden, but with trees. The place is wonderful, looks like a forest from a fairy tale. Perfect for family or couples. It offers a pleasant and quiet atmosphere, far from the city's noise. Easily approachable by bus and metro. If you wish to relax and zone out a bit one day, this place is perfect.

So amazing and stuff was so helpful Speechless

its a very nice place and so quite, and the views are adorble, I recommend you to visit this place, and its better to eat something before going there and take water, food and grocery aren't availlabe there.

I really enjoyed this place. A lot of different kind of plants, trees, flowers. You can feel there like exploring the wild forest. Enter fee is 20 lira per adult person on weekends. Please keep in mind that it is not allowed to take food on territory of park.

Excellent facility for walking, learning names of trees, plants all around the world, lakes, swans, ducks, flowers, trees really worth seeing place, please allocate time to be there.

Good place to visit for nature lovers. There are park benchs. Also you can see some animals like fish tortoise. Place is quiet and peaceful. You cannot bring any food with you inside. Prices are quiet cheap

Very nice park.

I love that place a lot, you will enjoy inside it , many places and different view form every side, best time to go after 12 so you can cover it all till noon time ,( food and drinks not allowed inside ) , there is park for cars near from the place.

Beautiful park, one of the must visit places in Istanbul especially in Fall season. Now in the beginning of October mostly it is still green, but some trees started to have yellow/red/etc colours, perhaps to the end of October it will be all colourful. Entrance fee in weekends: 20 TL Entrance fee in weekdays: 7.5 TL For students - weekends: 7.5 TL & weekdays 2.5 TL.

Calm and beautiful place for walking and taking pictures, there are many awesome views so don’t forget your camera! Only bringing water is allowed and you can’t find any cafe inside, i don’t know the reason, so we couldn’t stay too much :(

Very nice and quiet place for spending good and relaxing time between the natural , but it’s not allowed to bring any food or drink except water , also inside the arboretum there’s no coffee shop or restaurant.

A very calming experience to walk around

Calm and silent. You can listen birds for hours. If you come a bit early like 10 am, it is amazing to enjoy the view of trees with nobody around. I loved being here. I truly recommend. Give a break to this burdening city life.

I’m a tourist Beautiful nature,it has a lot of plants,if you like greens,flowers and quite places, you should come to see The ticket is 7.5 local currency

Amazing place for nature lovers and a getaway from city's noise and pollution. Walkways, small lakes, educational activities for kids about trees. A place for families, couples, friends to relax, play and enjoy nature; forestry students to implement their studies and a perfect place for wedding photoshoot. In fact, there were 3 couples taking photos when I visited. Highly recommended when in Istanbul. You can reach it by taxi or by public transportation. The place has it's own masjid as well.

Huge park very greeny clean and well served. You will never get board in this part of the world

Beautiful place🥰 in a Spring time, try to get there early so can visit all. I recommend it for people who love nature.

wonderful place. Definitely worth the visit.

Amazing park ! Highly recommended but make sure you ll arrive before 12:00 because it's super huge and you need more than 4 or 5 hours to explore a lot of it.

Beautiful in any season! Take your camera, shoot amazing nature photos, but eat before you go cause there is nothing to eat there, just nature and you

Such nice place for chillin and taking some photos. The entrance fee is 7.50 for weekdays and 20 weekends.

very nature place and good weather here , you can get the best ozone here , I like it

Amazing Park, enjoying natural attraction, must visit for sightseeing. You will be taking a lot photos and videos. Note: a bit tiring hill walk for some people, but must experience it , no harm.
