Paradise Park Tour

OVERVIEW

Stroll through Paradise Nature Park, a tropical garden full of exotic plants and animals. You will be free to meander about wherever you please, and there is plenty to see in the five-acre park. If you want to focus on the flora, you might walk through the orchid house and the orchard, where you can see pineapples and dragon fruit flourishing. Animals are also abundant. You can expect to encounter brightly colored parrots in the aviary, koi fish in the ponds, green iguanas in the trees, red-footed tortoises and cute little pygmy goats. Some of the animals are lesser known but no less fascinating. For instance, you may see the kunekunes, a small breed of pigs from New Zealand that are known for their intelligence and friendly nature. The miniature Mediterranean donkeys – which are now almost extinct in their native Sicily and Sardinia – are also favorites because of their sweet temperaments.
