You can easily spend an entire day here. There is so much to see and learn. There is also some very good coffee by the front entrance.

Nice & big park , with peaceful viewpoint on Melbourne city skyline. Less exciting in winter though

What a wonderful place to spend the day out and do a picnic . Good scenery and fresh air .

Why there on an excursion with my daughter's primary school. Had a lovely host who showed us some fascinating intuition about some of the features of the gardens .

Can't miss in Melbourne, this was one of the best botanic gardens I've been to. Plus, it's free! Come when it's sunny and work in your tan in one of the many lawns.

Don't miss beautiful mexican weeping palms planted by former queen of Iran, shahbanoo, find it next to rose pavillion.

An amazing place to have a picnic at any spot of the massive lawn everywhere. Perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

You can spend the whole day walking around here, too many great spots to pick favourites, just enjoy it

Beautiful peaceful place . Wonder gardens of the world.

This is the home of the Titan Arum, largest unbranched cluster of flowers . About 2m tall, blossoms for 2-3 days before collapsing. Also known as the corpse flower due to its rotting smell when bloom.
