Visitors with reduced mobility
Parking spaces are reserved for visitors with reduced mobility within the site.
Admission is free for persons with reduced mobility and their companions.
Access to the main fountain offers an overview of some of the major sculptures in the Tarot Garden. This area is accessible and wheelchair-friendly.
The Tarot Garden is a complex garden, created by an artist between 1978 and 1998, without an architect, designed with complete freedom, without safety or accessibility standards. As a result, it features stairs to access the various sculptures. Its status as a work of art prevents any modifications from being made.
Consequently, we are unable to offer tours of the entire site to visitors with reduced mobility. However, we do provide a stair lift (Sherpa N900) free of charge, as well as an attendant trained in its use, which allows access to certain works in the upper part of the garden.
Reservations for the stair lift are required and can be made at reservation@ilgiardinodeitarocchi.it, subject to availability.

At the entrance of the Tarot Garden, located outside the park, there is a café and a small refreshment area
open from 12:00 to 19:30/20:00, offering local and homemade products.
Niki de Saint Phalle quickly understood that editions, series, jewelry, prints, and a whole range of mass‑produced objects could provide her with financial independence. This allowed the artist to continue being her own patron and to fund various projects, including the construction of the Tarot Garden.
Once most of the sculptures in the Garden were completed, Saint Phalle created merchandise specifically for the site. Still today, all proceeds from the online shop and the museum support the Tarot Garden and ensure its preservation.
The Tarot Garden Foundation is the official producer and retailer of merchandise derived from the work of Niki de Saint Phalle. The Foundation continues production in the spirit and respect of the artist’s work.
