Overall, Drago Park provides a unique natural and cultural experience, though it may not appeal to those expecting a more extensive or traditional museum setting. It's a good stop for nature enthusiasts and those interested in local history, but may not occupy a full day of activities.
The park is ok. The Dragon Tree is impressive. That said, avoid the restaurant. People ar not friendly and if you want to get back into the park you run the chance that the staff are rechecking your ticket because you might be a criminal (no, I am not exaggerating) who tries to get into the park for free. That said the views are nice and it is a good place to go.
