Reviews of Australian National Botanic Gardens
"A great day of adventure with my little ones. Lots of 'secret' paths to discover. So many interesting plants to see and learn about. We had a great time. Easy parking and paths are very well signed. Toilets are easy to find but may be a walk if you're in the further parts of the gardens."
"A great overview of Australia botanical habitats. The eucalyptus lawn is rich with the scent of the gum trees and the arid garden looks like you are in the red centre of the country with spinifex and Sturt desert peas. My favourite is the rainforest, amazingly captured in cool, dry Canberra and a magical place to walk through. Keep an eye out for the lizards, basking in the sun or swimming in the ponds."
"Impressive collection of Australian native plants displayed in collections by distribution, classification, ecological vegetation class etc. Great for plant enthusiasts and also anyone wanting quiet time in nature. I spent 2 days in Canberra from interstate and went there both days. There is so much to see! Highlights for me included the rainforest gully from temperate Tasmanian through NSW and Qld, the banksia garden and the red centre garden. The cafe and bookshop are great too, and there was an exhibition on so I bought some beautiful botanical art cards. I'm thoroughly impressed by and appreciative of these gardens! I'll be back!"
"Gardens A small botanical gardens compared to many. It has a circuit that takes roughly 45 minutes. There is a good cafe there which is popular for breakfast by the locals and visitors. Due to its size it’s good for parents with young children. Not a spectacular garden and for travellers really keen on gardens I suggest the Everglades in Leura, in the Blue Mountains and Sydney’s Botanical garden. Good bathrooms and easy parking. Very helpful staff. Love your local guide -M ❤️ If helpful please like or follow me"
"We visited Australian National Botanic Gardens on a weekday. It has lots of flowering plants, trees and nice walking paths. We also saw many iguanas. We had lunch at the Pollen cafe which was almost full house. There is also an interesting bookshop. We enjoyed our visit here."
