Parc Phoenix - by Andrea Giassi on Google
Description
Phœnix Park is a botanical and zoological garden located in Nice's southwestern corner, in the Arénas neighbourhood. The main feature is the 25m high greenhouse structure covering 7,000 sqm which includes several distinct zones. The park boasts around 2,500 plant and flower species as well as a large array of animals (about 2,000) across 70 species including some mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and insects.

Instructions & Recommendations
Note that children aged < 16yrs must be accompanied by an adult This activity can easily be combined with the Asian Arts Museum of Nice
Environmental & Social
We could not find any environnemental and social data. We deem this activity marginally negative in both respects on account of electricity usage and the keeping of animals in captivity (although there is a small educational aspect)
Conclusion
Phoenix Park is a good value family-friendly activity with very enjoyable gardens and wildlife at a competitive price. Neither the botanical nor the zoological aspects are top-tier though, so in our opinion it is best for residents and travellers with plenty of free time in the city.
