Editorial Assessment

Yerevan Botanical Garden offers a serene natural setting and diverse plant life, making it a delightful place to visit. While it's essential for local biodiversity, it lacks the geological uniqueness to be considered iconic globally.

Friendly staff, very attentive, especially to new visitors to the park, they showed me how to get in and how to get out of the huge park, through another exit to get to another area, just what I needed, diversifying my route

Shame on the city. Nothing to see. But there are staff on the territory, they are monitoring something. To begin with, we would remove the garbage on the territory of the “botanical garden” The park needs to be closed. Do the cleaning. Put everything in order, and then collect money for entry. It’s easy to collect garbage and remove old branches in the fall. Better take a walk around the city. I’m already silent that the taxi driver drove us in circles, because it’s not clear how to get there.

I confirm everything mentioned by the previous reviewer 2 weeks ago who also gave 1-star rating. Selling tickets to this venue is a scam!
