Terra Botanica, the world’s first theme park dedicated to plant life and biodiversity, has announced a whimsical new addition for the 2026 season.
The anchor of a brand-new themed area, Le Potager de Cléamolette (Cléamolette's Vegetable Garden), will be a track-guided tractor ride designed for the whole family.
A Journey Through a Garden Laboratory
The new 3,500-square-meter area is themed around the character of Cléamolette, a whimsical botanical scientist. The main attraction, supplied by Italian ride manufacturer Gosetto, features ten tractor-themed vehicles that take guests on a scenic journey through a lush, oversized vegetable garden.
During the ride, guests will encounter 'botanical creations' including:
- Giant Vegetables: Larger-than-life produce that dwarfs the passing tractors.
- Flying Plant Containers: Surreal gardening displays that defy gravity.
- Revolutionary Irrigation: Interactive scenes showcasing high-tech (and magical) ways to water the garden.
The ride has a capacity of approximately 500 people per hour, making it a significant new capacity-builder for the park’s family audience.
A Discovery Trail for Plant Lovers
Directly adjacent to the tractor ride, the park is opening a 1,200-square-meter discovery trail. This area is a plant lover’s dream, featuring more than 10,000 vegetable plants and rare species from around the world. Keep an eye out for exotic curiosities like:
- Japanese Pickling Eggplants
- Snake Gourds
- Brazilian Guava Trees
Evening Magic: Terra Nocta Returns
The park has also confirmed the return of its award-winning evening event, Terra Nocta, starting April 11, 2026. Now in its fifth year, the nighttime experience uses light and sound to transform the gardens after dark. This season features a brand-new 150-meter-long section dedicated to the element of water.
Additionally, a new live show featuring acrobats, magicians, and dancers from the Institut National des Arts du Music-Hall will perform twice daily throughout the season.
