Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne Review

Amazing place to relax. Not busy even in the weekend. It's free entry as well.

A fabulous day out. Entry is free. It's an easy wander around a well landscaped display of native Australian plants. Or, for a fee, there are guided tours in small vehicles. Plenty of space for picnics. A cafe on site with a delicious variety of meals. A shop with gifts & souvenirs appropriate to the theme of the gardens. Highly recommended

Everyone go here!!try the bus as it's super informative.

Great day out for every age, lots to look at and plenty of places to rest or picnic

Free entry. Calm and relaxing massive place. Good for family picnic. Well maintained. Impressive landscaping and architecture

Award winning botanical gardens with beautiful aussie flora and on occasion fauna. Saw a wallaby last time I was here. recommend going.

This is an absolute hidden gem! I have lived in Melbourne 7 years and only heard of this recently. Well worth the drive if you don't live nearby. Very family friendly with lots of cool hidden corners to explore.

Fabulous eating restaurant and bus drive around was spectacular.

Just fantstic could have spent 2 days here. Plenty to see and explore... totally wheelchair friendly

Great Australian garden. Even on a very hot day there were plenty of shady places to rest and take in the different views. Not your average botanic garden.

Love visiting here. Always something new. Gardens are beautiful

Amazing experience, perfect to go if the weather is great. Good walks, nice sceneries, relaxing and great way to get a good exercise! Can easily spend 2-3 hours here.

Very Nice & Beautiful Place for Family Outing for a Day!

A very peaceful and well laid out garden with Australian native plants and beautiful garden structures to sit and enjoy the sceneries. It is pretty busy on the weekend, but people are very considerate and move at a leisurely pace. There is no BBQ but there are cafes for refreshments and toilets inside the garden. It's free entry, but you can make a donation in their boxes. A beautiful gift store is at the entry. A short walk outside the garden there is a BBQ area with under cover seatings and a large playground for kids. Well worth the visit.

I took my 7yr old granddaughter, she just loved it and ran me ragged trying to keep up with her, had a lovely time and enjoyed an ice cream with her at the kiosk. It was lovely to spend time with her out in the flora and fauna.

Amazing place full of wonderful native plants and animals

Really good gardens, breakfast wasn't that good, came out a bit cold twice. Gardens were really good, nice walk and lovely plants

We spent a delightful couple of hours wandering through this beautifully designed garden. A layout intended to draw you in and encourage you to meander. Waterfalls you can wade in, the weird and wonderful garden and the musical sculpture just some of the highlights

Interesting broad sweep style of landscape/layout of this garden featuring Australian native plants and trees. As well displaying plants in natural setting includes; displays on cultivation, domestic gardens, children's play area and More

Too many Natives. Wilson Botanical is my preference.

Only about an hour to walk around the garden. Lots of diversity, it would be great at the start of summer when everything would be in bloom and its free

Great day out, especially if you love native plants. Well thought out, planned and designed. I loved it. Easy walking throughout.

A very regular haunt in all seasons. Peaceful tracks and the opportunity to spot some local wildlife - I've seen wombats, echidnas, gliders, possums, bandicoots, snakes and a wide variety of birds. Good picnic facilities and a great park for the kids.

An innovative and compelling recreation of the Australian landscape. A must see for international and Australian visitors alike.

Australian native plants are cultivated in well-maintained gardens.
It might be fun to have a picnic mood for half a day.

Lots of different gardens with different themes. Lots of Australian natives as well as plants from around the world. Make sure you walk up to the viewing point near the Australian Gardens entrance. About 400m

It's free to walk around and its nature at its best.

Lovely gardens. Ample parking. Restrooms. Cafe (bit expensive) .Admission fee reasonable.

It's beautiful and it's free. There is a relatively big park with a nice path that is suitable for prams. The landscape is colorful, very well maintained, with cards to explain all the different types of plants and trees. Great spots to have a picnic with tables and even chairs. Many other things like water features for kids to play, playground and more. On top of this, you have more tracks around the park itself, leaving plenty of opportunities to come back for more fun and keep things interesting.

Beautifully designed gardens showing off Australian natives. Definitely worth the visit, with or without kids. Tours are very interesting and very informative.

MUMS!!! Don't go to the Cafe here if you are breastfeeding!! You will get asked to leave the cafe as they aren't "BYO"

Amazing gardens in a modern Australian style not like other gardens, great place to see native wildlife

Go during the week when its quiet. Parents on the weekend use it as a free place to let kids swim and ruin the tranquility

Its a great place to stroll & get familiar with Australian flora & fauna.

An amazing garden ground with several different plant species and divisions, a large range of places to visit and many activities to doceoth people of all ages

loved it. quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the serenity.

A wonderful to explore the beautiful gardens and the birds that are attracted to the flowers and plants.

Great garden views and a half decent cafe for a sit down meal. Plenty of space for the kids to run around while parents can sit and relax.

Gorgeous place with so much to see! The gardens are carefully curated and well looked after. Definitely a little known gem in the south east!

Lovely place, great for kids with plenty of interactive features. Definitely worth repeat visits; ample parking but no close by public transport

A fantastic garden to explore Australian natives. Well kept and beautiful plants and designs. Liked the variety of attractions, water features. But did find one grated walk section slippery after rain. It was going from the central section up north. Unlimited photo opportunities. Great for kids too.

An absolute treasure of a place, full of all native species and some amazing landscape designs...

Amazing walks, scenery and all for free, also has a lovely cafe with nice coffee

Great plants and terrain. Full of Australian plants and together they look great, they also have tons of fun things there. Highly Recommend.

Beautiful place, just be careful in summer of the snakes.

Great Gardens and love the bandicoots running around!

An Amazing Garden with a great atmosphere. Great day out. Highly Recommended.

Wow this place has to be seen to believed! Amazing

Fantastic gardens. Great variety of plants and themed areas. Recommend to go there for a visit to see for yourself the wonderful variety of native Flora.

If you don't have better place to go in a boring afternoon noon you can consider the Australian Gardens. Not too existing but the red sand garden is reasonably spectacular (no visitors are allowed to walk on it, though)

What an incredible display of landscaping. Great vision and planning

Great staff, warm and welcoming must go for any age

Great place, sprawling gardens and walkways and all free.

Excellent botanical displays. Worth the trip to visit.

Staff were so lovely and accommodating. I would highly recommend for people of all abilities. Staff showed an understanding an of the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. Thank you for this!

For those with a minimum of interest in botany this place is perfect, the flora of Australia is explained in a fairly comprehensive way, perhaps the only flaw is that it would take some more explanatory panels. In addition to the botanical garden there is a large park with a picnic area, a children's play area and walking paths, with an observation point on a hill that offers a suggestive panorama.

The Australian Garden is extraordinarily good. Helpful and friendly staff.

Such an amazing place to walk around for all ages. For the elderly there is a train. We took a picnic then enjoyed a walk around the gardens exploring the sights and amazing flora and quirky exhibits.

Great place for a quiet walk. The gardens are very well maintained and the landscaping reflects the different regions of Australia. Worth a visit.

Beautiful place
Always love to go and spend time there
JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME WHEN YOU PLAN TO VISIT
As its a big place and takes time to explore

Such a great place to visit. So much to walk on the tracks and the gardens are great to sit and enjoy or walk and see the variety of plants and animals.

Perfect place to have a rest of you busy week days, it s modern landscaping design. It s elegant place to have a professional photos,especially if you have personal occasions. Also you can have your lunch or amazing breakfast . Go and have a relaxing time in

Beautiful garden
Very friendly staff

A wonderful place. Such incredible variety of flora and native fauna as well. Not uncommon to see a wombat or echidna. Excellent cafe on site as well as gift shop celebrating all things native Australian and bush-like.
The perfect place for a calm stroll or educational tour.
