Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne Reviews

Water play for small children is excellent, also very beautiful, clean and accessible

Beautiful, quiet and relaxed environment. Great for walks, picnics, or family outings.

Great place to explore for kids and free! Grab a picnic and explore the beautiful gardens

Good facilities and easy access especially on a good day

A great place to learn about Australian native plants.

Only good for good weather. And they close 5:00pm last enter is 4:30pm

Definitely didn't expect to find such a stunning place like this in Cranbourne! Definitely would come back, absolutely beautiful gardens, wildlife and a great day trip location

Gorgeous gardens. Lovely coffee and wonderful walking tracks

Always great for a visit. There is lots to see in the garden. It is a great place for a walk, a picnic or just to relax.

Great (free) place to get ideas for your own native garden. Cafes and gift shop are good value.

If you want to learn and appreciate native Australian plans, this is the place!

Liked the view and the whole place is made with perfection

The botanic gardens have several areas that have been freshened up over the covid period and are looking beautiful.

Spectacular place! It's a bit hidden away, but make no mistake, this is not your average botanical gardens. Worth a look!

Gardens look stunning but the kiosk is pricey.great way to kill a few hours when the sun is out

Shows what you can do with great landscaping, great engineering and a progressive council.

Really great place
Took my nephew and we had a great time
Would recommend to go and have a walk round
Just remember to drive slow for the wildlife

The landscapes created are beautiful the plants superb

Lovely walking tracks , cafe was great. Worth the trip

Gardens are continuing to evolve and improve and are extremely well kept. The associated restaurant / cafe is mediocre at best and I would suggest packing a picnic lunch as a tastier and cheaper alternative.

Beautiful place to visit, had lunch there and was super tasty, fairly quick and well priced.
Had a lovely short walk around the gardens, will go again for a longer one to see it all more.
Great place to spend the afternoon :)

Went to a beautiful wedding, the location was stunning and the cafe had great service with amazing food

Superb ...gorgeous...loved that...but closes too early.

Free entry, giant garden, winding paths, plants from all over Australia.

Fantastic Australian flora & fauna landscape design .....!!

I love coming back often to the Australian Gardens because it is always changing. Flowering at different times /seasons.
I love sketching the trees, structures and buildings around the Gardens.
Very relaxing and a great cafe and gift shop.

Beautiful place for a outing with family and friends.

Because the location is relatively far, there are not many tourists. There are a lot of punching shadows in the field.

Because of the distance from city there are few tourists. Many nice places inside for photos.

Toddler playground is not really toddler friendly and too much sand.
Toilets were not very nice either.

Wonderful places with no fee.
Good view and sight.
Fresh air and bird

Free to get in. Nice park. A must go place if you like different trees. Beautiful Red sand garden.

A vibrant botanical garden of native Australian plants with both natural and constructed wetlands, water features, decorative garden landscapes ideas etc. A good place for spotting birds and marsupials. I have seen echidna, bandicoot, bush mouse, wallaby and a diverse range of bird life. Wheelchair accessible and kids friendly. A great place to go for a stroll, bushwalking or visitors to learn about and enjoy Australian flora.

It was really fun learning and seeing all kinds of cool stuff

Beautiful views and lovely bushwalks. Definitely come here if you want to relax.

Fabulous place for photographers...I was practising on bees today :)

Wonderful place to visit and free. The most beautiful flora, parking is free and available so go and enjoy.

Great place to entertain the kids, go for a walk or check out our flora! Take a pic nic and pick a spot or use one of the provided BBQ's near a play ground. Makes for a great day out.

Great facilities. Clean BBQ and amenities. Play areas suitable for all ages. Helpful staff.

Australian natives, beautifully landscaped, educational and child-friendly.

Love this place. So many beautiful tracks to walk and wildlife to see.

Good place to relax, walk, run and have barbecue party

A most underrated botanical garden with a focus on Australian natives. It is beautifully laid out with facilities to spend the whole day there with friends or family with lots of kid friendly play areas.

It is definitely worth spending at least three hours wandering around however you'll find yourself coming back for a full day or more!

Is worth visiting.

Has 2 different areas.

One of the areas is native bush tracks with a lookout.

The formal garden is.very large with a variety of pools.

You don't have to use the bus to travel around and you can just walk.

Excellent variety of Australian plants and landscapes. Large area. Pleasant walk or take the bus.Great cafe

You can learn how to landscape your garden in minimal space, see different colours of kangaroo paws, water and stone garden, so many different types of eucalyptus...

A must see Botanical Gardens. Free entry and so many beautiful plants to see.

Absolute suprise in Cranbourne. Huge gardens, kids play area, water play area. Coffee and lunch available. Beautiful place to come and picnic.

A wonderful place to visit, plenty to see, a credit to everyone involved in its creation and all those who maintain it.

Beautiful setting good cafe and gift shop. Free entry.

Great place. Lots to see. Love walking around here. Great for kids too.

Botanical gardens are immaculate, I'm a horticulturalist I love coming here and relaxing.

The kids (7 and 10) and I spent a couple of hours wandering around exploring the gardens, splashing in the water feature and taking photos. A really good spot to waste a few hours. Could do with expanding as its very popular and would justify more space.

Serene gardens worth a visit. Echoing many comments here, well laid out trail with views to match. There was a wedding on the day we visited.

Absolutely love this place! It is so peaceful, beautiful place to walk around. Lots to see, has a kids playground, lake and much more. Entry is free, however donation is recommended.

Great place for a wonder around. A sweet little gift shop and yummy food at the cafe.

Loved it! The rock pool is fantastic for the kids to play in

Beautiful gardens to walk through with a small area for kids big and small to put their feet in the water. Nice to grab a coffee from 10am weekdays as the Cafe has now closed.

Bro the floor is red? Whats happening to this world man, global warming?? I reckon yeah. The gift shop is also warm

This hidden gem, is tucked away in a part of the city that is off the normal Tourist trails.

The water feature, which is a wading pool is a usually a hit with the little ones.

Plan to spend at least an hour here.
