I took the bus tour to get an overview, had a lovely lunch in the cafe and then spent a leisurely 2 hours walking through the gardens. Such a diversity of plants, colours, shapes, sizes and perfumes. And all Australian!! A great day out.

Well we had planned to visit these gardens for some time and we were not disappointed. There is a map of the whole garden with a map of a smaller more developed area and 4 hours saw us no further than the small area. There are areas of fascinating plant displays and garden setups. I loved the Eucalyptus displays and how they are grown in areas that look like their natural habitat. There is arid areas and wet areas ++++ There was nothing I disliked Easy parking, great map, great cafe and a well worthwhile experience, in fact a fantastic experience.

We went on Birds in the Australian Garden event and were delighted with the number of birds we saw. Our guide (Sharon) gave an excellent tour with lots of fun facts. She was able to identify the calls of different birds which was very helpful when trying to distinguish tiny birds high up in the trees. Would highly recommend this fabulous event.

I went to meet a friend for lunch in the pouring rain so didn't see loads of the gardens! But the cafe, shop and visitor centre were great. The staff were SO friendly and helpful. I used the free shuttle to get from the train station to the gardens and back again. This worked out really well and again the staff running it were so accommodating. I highly recommend a visit here.

I took the little “train” tour with a guide called Peter and it was wonderful. He’s so knowledgeable and delivered it as a great chat. I can’t recommend the whole experience enough. The cafe, the shop, the staff all just delightful.

Toured the gardens with my wife. Some beautiful trees and plants, surrounding a lake, with plenty of paths to follow of varying lengths. Lovely tea room beside the lake, although the service was a little slow.

We had a wonderful day exploring the gardens. As we did not have our own transport we made use of the free shuttle bus to give us a lift there from Cranbourne Station. Staff were positive and helpful and we enjoyed the Explorer tour

Beautiful gardens! We enjoyed looking at all the different trees, bushes and flowers. There were a lot of walking pathways and a pond with a variety of birds—plenty of places to sit. There is a cafe and clean toilet facilities. Ample parking. Would have liked to spend more time there as there was lots to see and explore.

We visit here frequently as we live nearby. The main gardens are beautiful and unique with a lot of native species on display. Our favourite spots are the Lily pad bridge - enter through back gate from car park and it’s located near the kiosk and toilets. Rockpools - best visited from the main entrance and amazing for kids for wading in summer. Outside gardens - you can walk and bike the whole circumference of the outside of garden but for a smaller sample head to the Woodside picnic area past trig point where you might see some wallabies

We visited on the spur of the moment and found these gardens to be the prettiest I've seen, it was so relaxing walking around, beautifully maintained and clean. The Australian Garden was so red, the closest we've been to red dirt! Tried the Cafe and found the service to be friendly, great views across the gardens, inside and outdoor dining and plenty of places within the gardens to bring your own picnic. There's a great water feature for children to cool off in during warmer months and plenty of space for them to run around and burn of energy. We enjoyed a quiet stroll around taking in the sights and smells of the Eucalyptus and Mint gardens Highly recommend this place, it beats the Botanic Gardens in the city hands down.
