We caught the bus from Funchal to here. As it only cost 3 euros it is good value. There is a museum full of curious artifacts such as stuffed animals, an interesting collection of cacti and topiary. I quite enjoyed looking at the birds, who are hardly crammed together. They were quite chirpy in fact. There are good views over... more

We went to view the botanical gardens in funchal, to find they also kept a variety of birds in cages for people to view. These poor poor birds did not have any stimulation just shut up in cages probably till they die, the first cage you encounter had a couple of birds with no way of avoiding the elements. This... more

Recently returned from Madeira-great holiday but letdown at botanical gardens not by plants but by exotic bird park within gardens.Although official standards are met the birds looked bored and depressed with their spartan surroundings;I'd rather not see these beautiful creatures live if we can't give them decent surroundings! more

The flowers were plentiful, the views superb and lots of birds to see. We would certainly recommend a trip there. We went by bus from Funchal and that is... more

Simple things make Botanical Garden beautiful: Great view, peacefull and perfect for a nice walk. Even thought it's not so close to the city and it cannot be compared to the forest 'Laurissilva', it has a little of everything you can find around the island. It is also connected to 'Loro Park': A charming kind of zoo just for birds.... more
