I totally loved the gardens but especially the succulent and fern sections. The plants are spectacular! There are many picnic spots to take advantage of, waterfalls and meandering paths amongst beautiful flowers and plants. There is a children's trail, which includes an xylophone seat. It is a truly beautiful place

This was a really nice treat after walking up the mountain to get lunch. Very well maintained gardens with some very impressive plants. The cactus section was particularly special in my opinion but the whole park is a fun free day out for a family. Lots of cool flora and fauna.

We visited the Brisbane Botanic Gardens in late July 2022. It is a lovely area with beautiful views and great place to visit - a quiet spot amidst the usual hustle of Brisbane. Paths are wide and smooth and will suit a stroller or wheelchair. There a plenty of seats spread around, and neat picnic areas. Well worth a visit.

These gardens are one of the best I have seen. We were there for 3 hours but had to rush through. We needed a lot more time to see the whole gardens. It covers a lot of ground and have lots of paths to take. In the Japanese gardens I photographed this lizard. It seemed to enjoy the chips

A great place to visit to see and discover different plant species right near the Mt.Coot-Ha. It is a free activity to do. There are a bit of walking around the Botanic garden. The dome shaped garden was the interesting part of it. The only thing I couldn't see was a smiley faces of the people who work and maintain the garden. But, thanks for the nice hospitality and service.
