Worth the price of admission (somewhere around $30/person). We spent the whole day there, but it could easily be done in half a day. They have a shuttle that will bring you back to the main building after you've walked the waterfall trail, but if you have the time, walk back up the trail and then take the river trail... more

I visited the waterfall garden last month with my husband. After reading the reviews, I expected it to be like Disney World, I am glad I did not take the reveiws too seriously. I found the park to be alot of fun and a breath of fresh air after our trip from San Jose. It was beautiful, clean and well... more

We have been to Costa Rica and the Rainforest on numerous occassions but this is the first time to La Paz, it was well worth the wait and will be on our itenerary many more times!! It is truly not only beautiful but educational. The tour, either with a guide or self toured, starts out near canopy level to the... more

We did a 2-hour stop here on our way to the airport in San Jose. I wouldn't have wanted this to be our only experience of the rainforest, as seeing toucans, parrots, poison frogs, sloths, and monkeys in the wild is much cooler. But we all really enjoyed the chance to see and photograph birds and butterflies close up. The... more

Wonderful place to walk around and enjoy the beauty. more

If you are heading to La Paz Waterfall Gardens to see Costa Rica in a NATURAL state, you will be disappointed. If you want to see some animals up close and enjoy waterfalls, you will like it. . We spent 3 nights at the hotel in February 2008 for our honeymoon. The gardens consist of animals in enclosed spaces and... more

Let me start by saying this: take this place for what it is. I am an avid hiker and hate to see wildlife caged or man-made structures around natural landscapes. That is what you will get here. That being said, I enjoyed this part of my trip as much as any other in Costa Rica. On our way from San... more

We loved the two nights we spent at La Paz. It was the highlight of our second trip to Costa Rica. Our room was top notch with a patio with a jacuzzi where you could see the hummingbirds coming to the feeder. In the room we had a waterfall in the shower, a large whirlpool bath, a canopy bed, a... more

We stayed at the Peace Lodge on property (FABULOUS), so were fortunate to be able to visit the grounds at will. If you're not staying here, it is well worth a day trip visit from SJ or on the way to Arenal. We walked around late in the day and early the next morning, so never experienced crowds. I will... more
