A lovely unexpected experience. Nearly didn’t bother but found ourselves walking past and when we discovered that it was free entry thought we might as well have a look.

It is quirky, charming and brought out the inner child in us, especially the ‘sail seats’.

Well worth an hour of your time - especially if the weather is breezy!

Came to visit having seen this place mentioned in guide books. I’d been a bit dubious but wanting somewhere local to
visit we decided to give it a go. I was genuinely surprised by it. It is quirky, there are various “exhibits” to walk around some are better than others - we particularly liked the mirror of sounds where you whisper into one side and can be heard clearly at the other some distance away. Our kids were young teenagers and found bits of interest; younger children would probably like it even more. Although the exhibits are labelled in French we were given an English leaflet which explained everything. Would recommend for an hour or so’s entertainment

Have visited this garden for the last number of years whilst holidaying. Lots to do for the children as they can play in the mist area of the garden as well as enjoy the bubble area and play in the small wooden structures. The windmill can only be accessed on the ground floor but if you listen to the commentary there is a blast of air from the floor which recreates the Marilyn Monroe moment which is fun for the children. There are sales to sit on as well as a machine which creates certain scents. Coupled with picnics welcome, as there are no refreshments available, this is a great way to spend a few hours.

This is very suitable for young families. It does not take too long to go round the whole site. You and your family could spend a good hour here. The whole site centres on the wind, with different exhibits and fun things to play with.

Somewhere to visit as part of a day's sightseeing. Very interesting. About €4 entry per adult.

For 2 adults and 2 children it cost €18. Great start with bubbles but came round the corner into a garden
Windmill could not be climbed. A few things to look at but so much more could have been done with this place. Educational side could be developed. Lovely place but overpriced for what it is.

A lovely little garden, themed to the wind, however very little educational value here. Even the wind sculptures are a bit amateurish. A lot more could be done both scientific and aesthetic.
Not bad but could be a lot better with a bit more thought. The owners should take some inspiration from Cesar Manriques work in Lanzarote.

A pleasant way to spend an hour or so. The place seems a little tired with some taped off areas. The sails weren't up on the mill and not much going on for the height of the season.

Slightly educational with a few exhibits about wind and how it works.

Could do with a little pop up cafe with some local cakes - no refreshments on site.

The kids enjoyed it especially the sailing roundabout.

Great way to while away a few hours with the kids and learn a few things among the way!

Inexpensive and lots of things to keep the children engaged!
