The key mission of Botanická záhrada Tatranská Lomnica is cultural and educational activity.

In the botanical garden, spreading over an area of 3.2 hectares, you will currently find as many as 330 species of plants and trees inhabiting various Tatra habitats. Some of them can be purchased here in the form of seedlings or seeds. In addition, the area also features a geological plot dedicated to those who promoted the idea of the Tatranský národný park (Tatra National Park) in the past.
