Simple but educational museum. The visit to the park consists of a walk through a maintained garden where you can find all kinds of banana trees. The visit ends with a small shop and exhibitions of reproductions of works on Martinique. Entrance is a little expensive €8.50. It was still a good time.

WOW, so well done. An excellent mixture between educational information, live tasting ( free bababa) and the very lovely park. Amazing. We loved it and it had been our highlight of our self-driving tour to the north. The 8 Euro entry fee is absolutely fair!

As the comments say, interesting visit. A single building with explanatory panels on the banana. Well done. Then visit the park with lots of varieties of banana trees. Glad I did it and learned about the origin and cultivation of the banana

The best part of the museum is the walk around the plantation. Seeing the bananas on the ground, I find it a shame that they are not displayed in the museum for tasting purposes. I would have liked to find homemade banana cakes in the store, or juices made from bananas.

14 euros to be told the story of the banana. There are about 5 species of banana, they make you taste the most common one and sell food products and gadgets not produced on the island. The plantation is beautiful to look at but nothing else.

it's ok, but don't do a great detour to see it. nice walk in the gardens, two friendly cats welcome you in the museum. I did enjoyed it, the only thing I was a little disappointed was I was expecting to taste many different bananas, there was only two that day and one was the most common one 'Cavendish' the verity that is available in all over the world

Learned about 60 types of bananas which are grown all over the world. Museum has video and displays which are quite interesting, yet simple. The gift shop had samples of banana ketchup, banana wine and banana bread and cake. We sampled and bought alot of things for gifts to bring back home. The nicest people run this museum, nicer than any restaurant or attraction on the island.

We spent about an hour reading about the history of bananas and walking through the garden which had many varieties of banana trees. The garden was beautiful and the varieties were cool to see. We'd read many reviews that said there were samples, which we'd been looking forward to, but there was only one and it tasted like the bananas we get at home, Cavendish. Still, for 7E, totally worth a half day and beautiful drive to get there.

You can learn a lot about different kinds of the 3000 varieties of bananas here, and also see the actual banana trees. The wild bananas and the bananas growing upside down were a revelation. The visitor center has exposition in English, and the guide is quite fluent. The place is nicely landscaped and a walk through the shady banana grove is a pleasant thing to do on a warm day. One tip - the banana pie in the restaurant is not a banana cream pie.

The museum covers all topics connected to bananas, from botanical facts (varieties) to health aspects and global production trends and figures. Quite interesting to see all the different species in the natural setting. The entrance fee it quite high, as well as the different products that can be bought at the museum shop. However, definitely worth a visit.

Can anyone advise regarding transportation from the cruise port to the banana museum? Preferably a tour or bus. Taxi sounds very expensive.
