About
The garden was founded in 1812. Today it houses the largest collection of trees and shrubs - over 2,000 species. Visitors can explore the Upper and Lower Parks, which are combined into the Arboretum. The Upper Park boasts majestic giants - cedars, sequoias, firs and cypresses. In April, tulips bloom here, in May - irises, in June-July - daylilies, roses and cannas, in October-November - chrysanthemums. The Lower Park features a relic olive tree, magnificent specimens of pines and oaks, and subtropical fruit trees. There's a Green Labyrinth - about 1 km of paths winding through laurel thickets and climbing roses. There are also pools with fish and lotuses. There are no bad angles here: the paths are perfectly laid out, bushes are trimmed with virtuosity, and the background always enhances the photo.

Sweets, Jams, and Honey
Yalta produces excellent baklava—honey-layered with a crispy crust. You can also find unusual sweets: pine bud-flavored Turkish delight, candied rose petals, fig jam, and even lavender or bird cherry jam. There's also herbal jam made from thyme or pine cones.
Crocodilarium
Yalta's Crocodilarium is a small but impressive exhibition of exotic animals. It features dozens of reptile species: Nile and Cuban crocodiles, caimans, snakes, rare turtles, and lizards. In a separate zone, visitors can feed baby reptiles, while the adults are behind glass but close enough for detailed observation.
