Terra Botanica
Europe's first plant-themed amusement park, combining greenhouses, gardens, a hot-air balloon and rides, suitable for families.
Terra Botanica opened in 2010 and covers about 18 hectares, with a 'plant adventure' theme. It features tropical greenhouses, a giant water lily pond, a garden of unusual plants, mazes and interactive exhibits, as well as boat rides, carousel-style rides and a tethered hot-air balloon that rises 150 meters to offer views of the Loire-Anjou countryside. The park hosts many shows and children's activities. Tickets cost about €30 to €35, and buying online is cheaper. The park lies north of the city and can be reached by bus or in about a 15-minute drive.
