The experience

- The plant piano and other biotech inventions, such as a microalgae photobioreactor.
- A small-scale saltworks, traditional beehives and a collection of local bonsai.
How it works
You arrive at the park in Sant Rafel with your ticket and, if a guide is free, join a tour of around 45 minutes where you can touch, smell and taste some plants. If you'd rather explore alone, the QR audio guide is included. The visit ends with a tasting of water drawn from the air.
Who I recommend it for
- Families with curious kids.
- Anyone after a nature and science plan in Ibiza.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone expecting a large botanical garden: it's a short visit.
- Anyone who needs a guaranteed guided tour: it depends on availability.
