An interesting and beautiful national landmark that resembles a flower. I visited for Venezuela’s annual tourism fair held in Barquisimeto in 2023.
It's one of the best tourist place in Barquisimeto. The employees are nice. The place has beautiful gardens, and it has a really nice coffee and bakery shop there. Inside it's really nice too; you can see all the architecture and it has like a little indigenous museum and fish tanks, also a nice view of the city. This is a perfect place to go with children and it's complete free. At night it's beautiful because it has these lights that change colors.
The place is quiet, you can have a coffee and if there is the opportunity you can see some cultural exhibition. The parking lot is not large but if there is no special activity you will surely get a position, it is also a fairly safe area anyway do not forget not to leave personal items in sight in your vehicles.
Love this place! The best of the best at my little town!!

Needs maintenance, but is awesome anyways, perfect for a weekend with your family.
It's a good place but everything there is expensive!!!
(Translated by Google) It's a well-maintained place, but it's heartbreaking to see so many animals confined, most of them without mates. My recommendation is to add more signs and markings along the paths; it's quite large and easy to get lost. Some of the ponds smelled awful, the water very murky... But I suppose it's difficult to maintain such a large place. (Original) Es un lugar que está cuidado y se encuentra en buenas condiciones, pero da una lastima enorme ver tantos animales encerrados y la mayoría no tienen pareja para hacer compañía,mi recomendación es hacer más avisos y señalizaciones de los caminos, es un lugar bastante grande y facil de equivocarse. Algunos estanques olían horrible, agua muy turbia... Pero supongo que es complicado de mantener un lugar tan grande
