Excellent gardens within walking distance of the CBD & Rundle Mall. We spent 1-2 hours wandering around. There are some very old plants & trees there, so the gardens are very mature and well...

A well designed area with large spaces to sit and enjoy the garden area. Bring a picnic or stop at the Cafe... Lovely variety of plants to wander around and see for free.

Beautiful gardens. Can’t believe I didn’t take my camera. I loved the HUGE Lilly pads and their gorgeous pink water flowers… the cacti and succulent garden was great also. Lots of garden glass houses.... more

Fantastic experience . Close to nature and one can witness the greatest flora of all times . So beautifully maintained and neat and clean. You can have a glimpse of many tropical birds. This has cafes and botanical centres dedicated to certain plants species

Great place to spend the day with your family having a picnic or just wondering around. Beautiful gardens beautiful grass spaces very chill in the middle of the city. Lots of filtered water and bathrooms around. One café with live music on Saturday. Easy ticket parking around, no free parking except on holidays.

It's a beautiful and serene place to visit. The wildlife is gorgeous and the plants and water features are stunning. It's very peaceful and calming and definitely worth a visit. I've been here so many times and I still adore it as much as I did the first time 😊

Visiting Adelaide put this beautiful park on your list to visit. I wanted to see the wisteria however wrong time of year. The park didn't disappoint. The little gardens and also the glass pavilion inside is magnificent. Do yourself a favour and visit anytime

Definitely worth a visit! Located near the city centre and easily accessible. Plenty of parking available nearby. Relaxing walks in natural scenery that will keep you busy for a while! The bicentennial conservatory has rainforest plants, there is also a Victorian glasshouse and other interesting things to see! Some wildlife is also present like ducks and many turtles in the lake! You can grab a drink and some food at the cafe.
