    It was terrible! Avoid this park! The ticket price for an adult is 11 euros, for a teenager 8 and another 2 euros for parking. At the entrance you will be given a map drawn by a "drunken artist" Without signs, you will wander through the forest and look at rusty iron, rotten wood and moss-covered stone, out of 90+ sculptures, no more than 10 deserve attention. Many exhibits are "hidden" in the forest. You can also walk around the forest for free, which will be no worse than this. Very disappointed, what a shame.

    Very beautiful place. You can spend and you have to the whole day walking through the forest and try to find out all the pieces of this puzzle. It’s very cool.

    Nice place to spend few hours on a sunny day. Lot of things to see, some decent and unusual art, nearly hundred sculptures and installations. It is not very cheap, but well worth a visit.

    Avoid! Waste of time and total tourist trap, overpriced as hell, 11EUR per adult and they dare to also surcharge 2 eur for parking, crazy! With this price level i expected to see something impressive, but in many cases this is very basic abandoned/decayed experimental minimalist student-level art. In some cases you stand and try to figure out if its a sculpture or just a rotten tree or some old rock. Think about it, Paris Pompidou Museum charges 14 EUR per ticket. Rodin Museum charges 9-12! There are some sculptures which are "ok" but you can usually see such sculptures for free in normal places. Normal price for the visit of this place should be around 2-3 EUR.

    Visited this place again after about 15 years. Sad, VERY sad. It once was a place to visit and recommend. Now? Sorry, a place to never visit again. Abandoned, decayed, destroyed art - this is what you get now for 11€ a person and 2€ parking fee. Total neglect and a try to take money till something is left there at all. Maybe it is time to stop spending for ads in media and do some rebuilding/renovation?

    It's hard to understand and find most of it. You will also have a hand drawn map to accompany you on this marvelous adventure. In the midst of the adventure you'll feel like wandering through forest not even a park. And then the adventure ends with you running out of the place and never looking back...that is, if you won't get lost. Ohh but wait, it's not free and you can also pay a small additional fee to take photos.

    Thanks for a wonderful experience, spacious, beautifully kept park with unique art works hidden all around. Makes it fun for kids and adults to walk all around and spot them, a perfect blend of nature, history, culture, art, and family fun. It is paid entrance, not too cheap, but worth it in my opinion.

  • 2/5 Saulius S. 3 years ago on Google
    OVERPRICED -11€ entrance + 2€ parking. Not worth for decaying "sculptures" of questionable artistic value, park map is inacurate. There are much better activities around Vilnius.

  • 1/5 Vaidas L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was 15 years ago. Coming now and paying an unrealistic € 11 for the ticket, I thought I had spent a lot during those years. Unfortunately ... The park is dead. Unless you are interested in firewood stacks, which take up a lot of space, you can admire them for the money you pay. (Original) Buvau prieš 15 metų. Dabar atvykęs ir mokėdamas nerealius 11 eurų už bilietą maniau, kad daug praleidau per tuos metus. Deja... Parkas miręs. Nebent jei ką domina malkų rietuvės, kurios užima nemenką plotą, tai už sumokėtus pinigus galima jomis iki valiai pasigrožėti

    Beautiful place in the forest/park, with a lot of unique sculptures, other material of art which are quite stunning to see or get onto it. However quite far from the city center and really overpriced. Not only you have to pay for the tickets, but also for the parking. And you are not allowed to leave your car anywhere else, but their parking lot. Also it does not seem to change over years, restaurant is also not easy to understand - working or not.

    Great place to have a walk in the forest and at the same time have a cultural time. Kids love the unconventional artistic playground, carousel (the one similar to wheel for mice or squirrels). Cafe in the centre had a few desserts but we ate them all (3) 😄. So take some picnic stuff in case you would like to see the mayority of sculptures. Very pleasent service indeed! No post office anymore and a little forgotten place. It used to live the better times, but still a very pleasant place to visit

    Interesting place in open forest area and worth to visit if you are in Vilnius area. Had there really good time with friends this month. If you really are modern art lover, this is the place to be. Also after long walk you can take cup of coffee in small cousy restaurant or just sit near the table which is in middle of forest. Conference Hall also in superb place with perfect view. In simple words just give a try and you don't regret it.

  • 2/5 Me be D. 3 years ago on Google
    The sculptures were disappointing, not worth 1,5€ picture fee. A simple walk in a forest is not worth 30€ (two adults and a student), the price is just outrageous!

    (Translated by Google) Not worth 11 euros per person. Ordinary park with several sculptures. I was disappointed. Full of free parks with a much more beautiful and tidy environment. The tracks are not wheelchair accessible. (Original) Neverta uz 11 euru zmogui. Eilinis parkas su keliom skulpturom. Nusivyliau. Pilna nemokamu parku su kur kas grazesne ir tvarkingesne aplinka. Takeliai nepritaikyti vazineti vezimeliu.

    A huge park aka forest with amazing pieces of art/sculptures ans installations sprinkled around. Great for spending a few hours exploring and absorbing the mix of nature and art. There is a manument marking the geographical centre of Europe. In the summer beware of the scourge of mosquitoes.

    (Translated by Google) If anyone lives nearby - maybe nothing but driving 100 with over a km is not worth it in my opinion. Surprised ticket price for adults (2019) - 11 € (!!!)

    There are much more beautiful forest areas and they are free. Tickets cost 12€ for adults, 8€ for children and 2€ for parking. Too expensive. There is no entertainment or activity for children there. The only thing that would be interesting to read map, but even that is so cheap and funny that it is too difficult for children.

    Take insect repellent. So many mosquitoes! (It rained yesterday.) The sculptures seem like they are wonderful, and, had we been prepared with bug spray and proper shoes (got super wet from last night's rain), we might have gotten our money's worth, but we wound up having to leave quickly. It's €12 per adult, €2 to park, and an extra €1.50 to take photos.

    We spent a lot of time there. Monument in the woods are stunning and it was very pleasant experience... BUT the ticket price is absolutely too high. And I couldn't believe that they want from us 12 euros for the ticket and additional 2 for a parking spot. The Park is in the middle of nowhere and the parking should be definitely included in ticket price. 5 stars: concept of the park 1 star: admition fee, obligatory parking fee, old smelly toilet

    Too expensive considering the amount of time you spend here and there is not much to do inside the park. The navigation in the park is non existent, but the personell is very friendly. Though would not recommend going here.

  • 4/5 Blair H. 4 years ago on Google
    Worth the drive and the time to explore. Plan a couple of hours of walking. Try the pancakes at the restaurant too. Didn't find the 11 euro admission price to be excessive in relation to the experience of the art pieces and the forest surrounding them.

  • 1/5 Lukas S. 3 years ago on Google
    What will you do to rip-off your customer? Yes, put a fee for parking in the middle of the forest and put as many forbidding traffic signs around territory. I would understand this in overcrowded tourist devasted places, but not here. The tickets are not cheap either, but you already came so will pay anyways, right? By the way, will you want to take some pictures? Sure, go ahead for additional fee! :D (I have experienced similar style milking x10 in Russia museums (foreigners only), but this is not acceptable in Lithuania) The park itself could be recommended for relaxing walks finding artefacts and ideas behind those if you like such things. However attitude of owners makes this miserable and not recommended place.

    The place does have some interesting objects to see, but one complain that I have that the map they give out, as well as park directions are rather confusing, therefore, it's really difficult to plan your route. We ended up not seeing multiple installation due to missing it somewhere.

  • 1/5 Rasa B. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Very nicely landscaped park, there is something to see. The forest is relaxing. You can sit in the cafe in the park. There is a place to park the car. Suitable for traveling around the park with babies or prams. Still .... the price bites 11 € for an adult + 2 € for parking. Worth a visit at least once. (Original) Labai gražiai sutvarkytas parkas, yra ką pamatyti. Miškas atpalaiduojamai veikia. Galima pasėdėti parke įkurtoj kavinėj. Yra kur parkuotis automobilį. Tinka keliauti po parką su kūdikiais ar vaikais vežimėliuose. Visgi....kaina kandžiojasi 11€ suaugusiam + 2€ parkingas. Verta aplankyti bent kartą.

  • 5/5 Laetitia L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I do not understand the previous comments: € 11 for an outdoor contemporary art museum, that's the prices. It is a walk in the forest to discover works of art which are not "damaged or old" but which change over time. There are new ones! We walked for 3 hours using the map given to us at the entrance. Our daughters loved it. If you love art this is a great place! (Original) Je ne comprends pas les commentaires précédents : 11€ pour un musée d'art contemporain en plein air, c'est les prix. C'est une balade en forêt à la découverte d'oeuvres d'art qui ne sont pas "abîmées ou vieilles" mais qui changent avec le temps. Il y en a de nouvelles ! Nous avons marché pendant 3h à l'aide du plan que l'on nous donne à l'entrée. Nos filles ont adoré. Si vous aimez l'art, c'est un super endroit !

    Don’t go unless you’ve already done everything else in Lithuania :) go for the art, not the nature. You’re better off in another nature park. It is difficult to access without a car. If you take a bus, you have to walk through some houses and grass field to get there. Price is high but not too bad, best time to visit is spring/fall. The art itself is also quite damaged, needs more upkeep. However, the entrance guy was really nice :)
