Botanical Gardens, Cairns

Very impressive. Exceptional staff, friendly and very helpful. The gardens are very well maintained and easy to walk around with plenty of well defined paths. Lots of signs indicating plant types. Cafe is great, set in amazing location, very peaceful with lots of room. Highly recommended.

On Collins Avenue between Edge Hill and Sheridan Street. A free entry park with plenty of free parking and many ♿️ wheelchair parks. Open 7 days a week from 07:30 to 17:30 with a restaurant and Cafe both open 07:00 to 16:30. This is a beautiful gardens to visit. There are water fountains stationed around the park and plenty of benches to rest at. Suggest you carry a water bottle, insect repellent during the wetter months and wear a good broad brim hat. You could easily spend an hour or two here.

Very beautiful gardens! My wife and I did a macro photography tour around the gardens and saw a ton of cool little bugs and creatures as well as beautiful plants. It was not crowded when we were but it was a weekday morning. Definitely worth a visit.

What a beautiful garden to visit just a short drive from the city.This has to be one of the best botanical Gardens by far with so many different types tropical plants which I've never seen before. The walkways are pathed making it easily accessible by many. The on-site Cafe has a great menu selection for a quick snack of coffee.Highly recommend visiting this Garden.

4.5 ⭐️ Absolutely beautiful! Could easily spend half a day to a whole day just wandering through this place. The cafe also has some nice options on the menu though not everything is that good. The scones are yummy. There are other attractions to see at the garden too, if you go during their opening hours.
