Spectacular range of plants in zones. Flowers, birds and water dragons are abundant. We particularly love the water within many of the gardens. The children's Paperbark tree house is s great new feature. You can't beat the rainforest gully on a hot summer day.

Perfect for family visit. If you love trecking, there is black mountain trecking inside.

The Australian National Botanic Gardens is a heritage-listed botanical garden located in Canberra, established in 1949. It was much lower than my expectations. Very typical garden. If you have extra time, visit the place otherwise invest your time in other attractions.

Beautiful experience. Give it about 2-3 hours to walk through the entire gardens. Or you can choose to do half. The rainforest part is a must. Amazing native plantings and you can spot wildlife everywhere. Beware of snakes in the summer though!

GardensA 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

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!

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.

Visited this botanical Gardens on a beautiful day about 19 degrees.The paths , boardwalks, bridges are in immaculate condition.The other thing I loved was how well all the areas and plants were labelled.The wildlife that we saw were amazing.Also loved all the lage animal statues around the different gardens. The interactive touch screens and voice recording are great tools to help educate visitors.The facilities were awesome. Beautiful and such well kept gardens.Entry to garden is free.The only thing to keep in mind is that parking is not free, but ar time off this visit was $3.70 per hour.Highly recommend a visit when in Canberra.

Great place to walk around, even with some overcast and clouds. Also they have a free scooter to rent for those who may need it. A great place to see and free to enter minus parking, you can bike over for free though.

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.
