  • I recently visited the Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens in June 2022 and it was truly lovely. The garden is beautifully maintained and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The various plants and flowers were in full bloom, creating a colorful and vibrant atmosphere. The gardens are well laid out with easy to navigate paths, making it a great place to spend a few hours. I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing experience. Overall, it was a wonderful visit to the Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens and I can't wait to go back.
  • We got there at 9am so the car park was empty. This place really is beautiful and so well thought out, the different walks are brilliant and the attention to detail is world class. Our kids loved exploring and reading the different information signs explaining different facts. Great that there are public toilets and picnic tables too. Beautiful, peaceful tranquility in the rainforest!
  • A really beautiful spot. Tucked away not too far from the main tourist street of the mountain, the gardens are well worth a visit. It is so peaceful and they have so many different little sections to look at. There is sheltered seating, and if you’re lucky you might spot a turtle in the water!
  • The Tambourine Botanical gardens are a beautiful spot to come for a picnic or a simple stroll. The gardens are well-maintained and provide a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The carpark is quite small, which could make it hard to find a park during busier times of the day. There are toilets available along with a nice picnic area.
  • Loved this botanical garden! Had the whole family with me! From a 5 year old to a 73 year old! Everyone had fun! You can easily spend 3 hours, with lots of places to sit and eat in. It is bring your own but a lovely place to visit.
