This mini-rain forest park was a very cool activity to do while in PR. It's close to San Juan/…read moreGuaynabo area as well. There is parking and overflow parking-for overflow they have a cart that brings you to the gate. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the gate. They are $13 for adults and $8 for under 12 or over 60 and the ticket includes cable cart ride, aviary, butterfly garden , and a ride to the waterfall stop and observation tower, which at the end drops you off at the entrance again. It had just rained when we arrived so we didn't see a lot of butterflies, just between 10-15 monarch which were beautiful. They do have a lot of cockatoos of many colors and sizes, flamingos, and peacocks. The birds are all over, some very close to the walk path. After that you board the cart to the waterfall- it's a quick walk from the drop off point, and there's a bit of a hike to the observation tower but it's worth it. Overall it was a really fun afternoon. It can be enjoyed in 2-3 hrs taking your time

Our family absolutely loved our visit to Forestal La Marquesa. It was one of the highlights of our…read moretrip and I would highly recommend it, especially for families with children. The bird and butterfly pavilions are simply amazing. The animals are so close that at times you almost wonder if they are real until a bird squawks, blinks, or moves. The experience feels much more personal than many larger attractions and was a huge hit with our children. The cable cars are an incredible experience and offer some truly spectacular views. Riding above the forest is something we will remember for a long time. However, if you have an extreme fear of heights, you should know that this attraction may be challenging. The views throughout the park are beautiful, and there are several small playgrounds where children can take a break and play. There are also long nature trails and an observation tower that offer even more opportunities to enjoy the scenery. That said, visitors should understand that this is a physically demanding park in some areas. If you have mobility limitations, certain disabilities, or are pushing a stroller, you may not be able to experience everything. There are many long walking paths, steep hills, and staircases throughout the park. The park does provide warning signs before many of these sections, so pay attention to them. The path leading to the cable cars also includes stairs, and during our visit the elevator was out of service. This made things particularly difficult for visitors with disabilities and families using strollers. Bring water. Bring snacks. Do not attempt to visit without them, especially if you plan to explore the trails. The Puerto Rico heat and the amount of walking can catch up with you quickly. Transportation is another thing visitors should plan carefully. We relied on Uber, which worked, but drivers generally only dropped us off and picked us up at the main parking lot rather than the actual park entrance. The distance is significant enough that visitors must take the shuttle bus to the entrance. The shuttle runs regularly and gets the job done, but think converted school bus rather than luxury transportation. The gift shop is somewhat small and the prices are a bit high, but honestly, it felt worthwhile. Purchasing something there felt like supporting the important work being done at the park. Overall, our family had an outstanding experience. I think Parque Forestal La Marquesa is a perfect introduction to nature and hiking for children who may not yet be ready for more demanding adventures like El Yunque. It allows kids to experience the beauty of Puerto Rico's natural environment in a setting that feels adventurous while still being family friendly. We made wonderful memories here and would absolutely visit again!

Noria would not let us, and was quite rude in letting us know that.  When I explained to her that we had in fact been in many times, she has no answer.  She simply cited "the rules."  When I asked to see these rules, she said "They aren't written down."  I then asked for her name, and she was defiant and defensive, then she finally gave it to me, rudely, and said "My boss is right behind you."  An older male and female were there in a golf cart, and the female there politely explained a recent change to the rules to my wife.  This was better, professional at least.  Meanwhile snowflake Noria was so "shaken" that she needed a hug from the male supervisor.  Generation Z... rude, unprofessional, and sensitive.  Was a negative experience for us and for our toddler, thanks to Noria. "Noria" era una "acomodadora de personas" en el parque para perros. Era grosera. Queríamos que nuestro hijo pequeño pudiera vigilar a los perros desde el área del vestíbulo, y no nos lo permitió. Aunque no tenemos perro, muchas veces hemos entrado en el área de perros... para verlos jugar. A los acomodadores anteriores no les importó. Después de todo, ¿cómo cambia el factor de seguridad si tenemos perro o no? Es ilógico. Pero en este caso, simplemente queríamos quedarnos en el vestíbulo, sosteniendo a nuestro hijo pequeño, y mirar a los perros por encima de la cerca. No... Noria no nos lo permitió y fue bastante grosera al hacérnoslo saber. Cuando le expliqué que, de hecho, habíamos estado allí muchas veces, no tuvo respuesta. Simplemente citó "las reglas". Cuando le pedí que me las mostrara, dijo "No están escritas". Luego le pregunté su nombre y se mostró desafiante y a la defensiva, luego finalmente me lo dio, de manera grosera, y dijo "Mi jefe está justo detrás de ti". Había un hombre y una mujer mayores en un carrito de golf, y la mujer que estaba allí le explicó educadamente a mi esposa un cambio reciente en las reglas. Esto fue mejor, al menos profesional. Mientras tanto, Noria, la copo de nieve, estaba tan "conmocionada" que necesitaba un abrazo del supervisor masculino. Generación Z... grosera, poco profesional y sensible. Fue una experiencia negativa para nosotros y para nuestro niño pequeño, gracias a Noria.

You can tell you are there because there is a light, if you turn left it's into the beach area and paid parking ($5). Or turn left and you can park on the street for free. We walked across the whole park and explored, took pictures, ran from chickens (well roosters), etc. If you go later in the week there is a restaurant that is open (Wed - Sat or Thurs - Sat). That would have a pretty cool view and is in a pretty old historic building. On the way back we walked across the civilian bridge towards the beach. The second we got on the bridge we got cooled off because the beach breeze made it that far. Walked back along the beach and had some additional photo opps. Keep this in mind, the heat of the day it does get warm. It's easy, relatively flat walking, but hot non the less. Take some water so you don't get over heated. We'd recommend this as part of your stay in San Juan if you like exploring historical type locations.

But as is the case with beaches in Puerto Rico, avoid it during very late afternoon and night time unless there's a special event of some sort. There's an awesome nearby hamburger joint, creatively called "El Hamburger" :-P where you can have the best cheap burger afterwards. Or perhaps go to Old San Juan or Condado, which are both less than 10 minutes away by car. ---------------------------------------En Puertorro, ahora------------------------------------ Bueno, definitivamente no es muy buena idea escoger patinar cuando está lloviendo a cántaros, en este parque o donde sea... Pero este parque es muy lindo y una buena alternativa para hacer algo activo y fuera de la casa, sea solo, ejercitando acompañado o con niños, ya que hay áreas de recreo específicamente para niños. Por supuesto, como en todo parque y playa en Puerto Rico, no es recomendable estar ahí en la noche, para evitar robos o situaciones lamentables, salvo que hubiera algún evento especial en que haya mucha gente, claro. Cerca de ahí, como a 5 minutos, hay un sitio de hamburguesas que se llama "El Hamburger", y es muy bueno. Otra alternativa después-de es Condado o el Viejo San Juan, ya que quedan como a 10 minutos en carro desde el parque. :-)
