If you like temples it's the place to go. Variety of buildings mostly fallen but one in perfect condition considering. Easy walk from one end to other. You can arrange to use scooters or horses to go around site. 2 entrances, the east or west. Easy to get to from Agrigento Station. Wait for tourist bus €1.40 or pay a fortune to a taxi. Audio guides available. €5. Same price for entrance to the gardens. Mainly orchards of citrus fruit. Got some samples from shop at entrance produced from garden. Walk is hedged by the Mediterranean on one side and Agrigento on a natural high point on the other. Contrast between ancient and industrial modern is striking.

The valley was great, but we were told at one entrance that we can visit the garden separately the next day, because we arrived late. When we arrived the next day to the ticket shop the cashier wanted us to pay the full entry to the temples to get to the garden. This is badly organized and complete non-sense to let us pay for something to I only pass through to the thing I actually wanted to visit. The parking at gate 5 is a rip off that should be checked by a consumer protection institution. It says max 10 EUR a day (24h) for campers and we ended up paying 32 EUR for 1 day and 18 hours. It does not match the information board.

If you enjoy looking at temples, this is the place to go. I would plan in at least 2-3 hours for the entire experience. What I didn't like was the additional fee for parking: 2 EUR for the first hour, 1 EUR for the second (cap of 5 EUR) and only cash accepted. The entry itself costs 10 Euros, but if you want to see the garden located within, it costs around 6 Euros extra. The audio guide costs an additional 5 Euros. A nice park, but if you combine the park, parking, the garden and an audio guide, that is up to 26 Euros per person - that is if you don't get a coffee there.

Beautiful, definitely worth visit. It’s family friendly but a lot of walking, so take that in consideration when bringing young kids. Because of the walking I would advise you to go with comfortable shoes and clothes, especially because is super hot. Bring water!! You can also buy water when you are entering. And they have spaces where you can stop to chill and refresh a bit before continue the visit. I spent 3h there but wasn’t able to see one of the temples. There is algo a garden that is super nice and worth visiting.

We went on a tour at the end of February, so still pretty low season. The weather was pretty good that day but the was not much people around so it was great to take pictures. It’s not a big place nor there’s much to see other than the ruins of the two most preserved temples. If you don’t have a guide probably you could see everything in less than one hour. The combination of the sea view and the temples is really amazing!

The old temples are definitely worth seeing, but the entrance fee of €12 per person is a bit much, as there are no stalls or attractions inside. In addition, the signage and navigation around the campus is really poor. Definitely don't let taxi drivers talk you into a ride, it makes no sense. The best thing is to come here in the evening, for the golden hour. Few people and a beautiful sunset over the city.
