About Pairi Daiza

‘Pairi Daiza’, ancient Persian for ‘enclosed garden’, is the term that was used in the earliest known reference to the notion of ‘paradise’. No other name could so perfectly greet you, dear visitor, at the gates of our extraordinary garden, our own little paradise on earth. A dream come true, Pairi Daiza flourishes on what were once the grounds of a Cistercian monastery, Cambron Abbey. Imagine a 135 acres garden protected from the outside world by a high surrounding wall three kilometres long. Leave your troubles outside as you come through the gates; open yourself up to the wonders that await you. Once inside, lush nature in the form of centuries-old trees, intriguing plants and exquisite flowers from all over the world will wave you in. As you advance further into the park you will be continuously amazed at each step by the architectural treasures you encounter. All authentic, they have been brought to you by artisans who travelled from their far-flung homes of China, Indonesia, Thailand, and elsewhere to ply their art here, in Belgium, so that you can enjoy the fruits of their labours first-hand. Finally, come and make friends with the 5,000 animals that live and thrive here.
