Bendigo Botanic Gardens

Beautiful gardens with lots of room for children to play. Interesting art install features. Great facilities for having extended family get together.

Nice space for the kids to run around and bike. Well equipped playground and a lake to explore. Can be busy during the weekends. Gardens are fantastic for a leisurely walk.

So many different zones and things for people to do. Take a picnic, play in the playground, learn about different grapes…Wish the aviary was open but we could see the beautiful birds at a distance. Could do with more shaded seating options though.

Friends from Bendigo took us for a picnic brunch at the gardens and we had a stunner of a day!Arrived around 10:30am and there were already 3 sets of families setting up their respective birthday events.Lots of space to lounge and relax.Very dog friendly place.The paths around the gardens are great to walk and the gardens of the future is an area to visit if you have time!

When using this park please do the right thing and place your rubbish in bins provided. This person belonging to this car sat with her kids on the lawn to eat and when finished just walked off and left her mess behind...show some respect for the area as others use it to.

Absolutely gorgeous area, Parkrun was awesome!!! The Parkrun community is always so welcoming, & today there were loads of tourists to this site, beautiful day & lovely drink afterwards at The Vibe cafe

Pretty small compared to other Botanic gardens in Vic but if you are local or nearby, can stop by for a rest or picnic.Has public toilet, some benches and a playground. Nice spot for a quick picnic or just to chill out in a hot day.If you go for a roadtrip to Bendigo, can skip this if no time.Opening hours 7:30am-6pm or until 9pm during daylight savings.Free entry.

Beautiful day for a walk, Situated in white hills, Beautiful lawn, sounds of bird life. Excellent place for a family picnic, public toilet and playground. Gates shut at 9pm. The bird Aviary closed, By the looks there are no birds in there. So abit disappointed with that. Still a beautiful garden and lovely walk with paved pathways, easy for wheelchairs etc.

Beautiful walk on the path the lead to a bird aviary however the gate was closed, behind it as you follow the path, you would see a small lake. Kids playground.Picnics and just lazing as the garden is big. Beautifully kept flowerbed and lawns.

We enjoyed our visit to the Bendigo Botanic Gardens. It was a nice quiet and stress free day out, with plenty of parking.The gardens has a nice variety of vegetation. All plants, trees and flowers featured there names and descriptions.There is a lake that runs through the gardens which provides lots of shade with the over hanging trees, and is very nice.The gardens are well looked after and immaculate which makes the experience more enjoyable.Also features a bird aviary, which was unfortunately closed at the time we visited.It was great to see that there was plenty of people, including two kids parties being held at the gardens.Includes free public BBQ and covered outdoor seating space.The Botanic Gardens is located not far from the Bendigo town centre.
