The family ticket was 44€ and this was it not worth. Maybe because we were late in the afternoon (16pm) and there were no demonstrations anymore but 44 euros for looking at some (nice and friendly) white horses in their stable and a small museum should not costs 44 Euros. Had seen it all in just over 1 hour and we didn’t rush

I have travelled to many places in the world for dressage lessons, and the horses at Lipica Stud have been the best. I ride at a reasonable dressage level and when I booked they said they did not have horses trained highly enough for me … so I only booked for 2 days (4 lessons of riding). When I got there and actually rode, the horses were fantastic!!! Of course like any horse, if you didn’t ride well they could be lazy but when I was able to ride well the horses could activate hind legs, use their backs, balance and respond to seat aides. The downside was that the instructors available were juniors and struggled to teach in English. They were lovely people who tried really hard … but the horses were my teachers and I found it so beneficial to ride and learn from them. I will return …. And book for longer next time! I’ve still so much to practice and improve with my riding … not to mention more flying changes, piaffe and passage!! If you are a dressage rider looking for an amazing schoolmaster experience … go to Lipica!! (Note: the hotel is quite modern and nice; half board dinners were awful - drive to Trieste instead!)

Amazing place to visit. The famous Lipizzaner horses are bred, raised, and trained at this riding school which is a 25 minute ride from Piran, Slovenia. It is meticulously maintained with places for family activities. The on-site restaurant has a good selection of food. The best part of the ranch is obviously the stables and training facilities which require an entry fee. This area is worth getting a guide to escort you and tell about the colorful history of the facility.

Lipica is worth visiting, horses seems nice and well cared for. The museum is slso great. The guided tours are informative and worth 45 min of time. Otherwise staff seems unsatisfied and they talk bad things over eachother infront of visitors. The food offer is poor: a fast food tent with only two workers. The coock touches fresh meat and then the vegies for salad without washing hands! At the other side there is an overpriced restaurant with unfriendly staff and old desserts.

The stars of the show are of course the horses so gentle and kind. We paid for a general tour which included a guided tour and our guide a young man was knowledgeable and funny. The training session is extra so we didn’t pay for that part and we were rebuffed at the training area but didn’t know what it was as we just wanted a look around. Most areas have a no public not allowed notice so difficult to see all parts. The 4 out of 5 is quite high but these stars are for the horses and our guide. Don’t bother with the restaurant just outside as we waited ages to be served so ended up leaving.

So to me, the attraction of our visit was seeing the horses in action, either by seeing a training session or a performance. We had arranged 5 days in the area, and the website said no training or performances Monday, but the rest of the week there would be one or the other. Not wanting to screw things up, on Tuesday I phoned. Oh, the website is incorrect I was told. This week, training on Thursday and Saturday, performance on Sunday. So we planned for our visit on Thursday. On arrival at the ticked booth we were told; no performances or training today, nothing in October. But we phoned to confirm we said. Impossible the lady replied. You could use a photo of this lady as a dictionary definition of indifference. It was basically tough luck. So as not to waste the journey we bought the tour anyway. At the start of it they told us this week there would be training on Friday and performances Friday and Sunday. Accurate? Who knows; all our travel plans were committed for the remainder of the week. The tour itself was OK, but I could see stables at home, and while the horses look to be fine specimens, not being a horse person much, how am I to know? Same for the museum; as add on to the main attraction they are fine but not a reason to come here. They also did a workshop, where one of the trainers brought out a horse and described some finer points. All good things, but they can’t make up for not seeing the horses in action in my book. These guys need to up their game. I get that you change your schedule in slow times, but boy, you need to make sure you communicate, and in this internet age, on your website is how you do that.

Hello, I visited the farm this week. The farm was very impressive and of course the horses were magnificent. But my visit left me with a bitter taste. I'm not a young person and my friend has difficulties walking. We were very surprised to find that there are no solutions for this category of visitors, like a small electric cart or a mobility scooter or even a wheelchair. It's a pity because the entry fee is substantial enough to cover such cases, which I'm sure aren't too many. We couldn't enjoy our visit because of this and left with a heavy heart.

Nice experience, Family ticket €49 for 2 adults and 3 kids! Guided tour, you get to feed the ponies and pet a Lipicaner horse! You are free to wander around all day, Shows are at 11 am. Reasonable parking €3 all day

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the farm. The Lipizzaners were amazing. We were able to view a practice session. It was very interesting. I wish only it was allowed to take photos. We visited the Riding Hall, Stables, Museum, Hippodrome and Chapel. It’s quite a complex and was well worth the time.

We went out of our way to see these beautiful white horses but were thoroughly disappointed as we had not done our homework. There were no performances and could only look at them from a distance. We had to do a tour with a guide that looked and sounded like a true Communist.She even wore this horrendous uniform. Her information was learned off rote, she had no personality and it was obvious that she was bored with her job.There was a visit to a rather interesting museum on the premises but we were given only 10 minutes but we had to be accompanied. I thought that she would whip me when we asked for more time.This was an expensive waste of time and money visit. If the stud farm advertises a performance and you are in the area, go by all means but my suggestion is to see them in Vienna or in a proper theatrical venue somewhere else. This place is heavily promoted but it was the biggest disappointment of our 6 week trip to Europe.Spend more time at Postojna Caves or go to Predjama Castle, they are amazing..........
