The Moldova Taul Park was created by Vladislavschi Padalco, a well known architect. During its early period, the park was built at Ivan Pommer’s Bessarabian estate. The park surrounded the Pommers family mansion at the onset of the 20th century.
The time before the Moldovan declaration of independence was quite difficult for the country. But since that time, tourism has started to pick up. As the park continues to draw in more visitors, new features are being added to the site on a regular basis.

There is no entrance fee to the park. But you have to pay for the taxi or whatever vehicle you used to get there. Due to the distance involved, paying for a taxi may prove very expensive.
If you are coming from the capital, renting a car might be the cheaper option. But if you are in Moldova via a tour operator, the transport cost will be taken care of.
