I had heard about this place but had never been here before. Yes, if you can believe it, this was my first time visiting the Mt Annan botanical gardens. What a beautiful area. Heaps more to explore. But for now, I'll just tell you about our visit to the Gardens cafe. Upon entering the cafe, we were shown to a table on the covered verandah. Menus and cold water were provided. Not long after our food and beverage orders were made, my coffee arrived. Only a few minutes after that, all our remaining orders arrived. Really prompt service!
I had egg benedict with smoked salmon & a cappuccino. Nice. The only criticism was that the knives supplied were quite blunt, which made consuming our meals difficult. Apart from that, all good. A lovely venue, clean, interesting views, tasty food, good coffee, and great service.
Beautiful park without alot of people. Easy paved hiking trail with great views and benches along the way. Chances to see Wallabies or Kangaroos. Nice clean picnic areas
Huge gardens with lots to see. Very quite on a weekday and can walk around for hours without meeting anyone. Not only you can see native Australian flora but we have seen kangaroos, red belly snake, parrots and white ibis. Will definitely be back during spring time.
Good place for a family outing and picnic. Compared to any other picnic spots this place is not anything extraordinary. The one way road often makes you go round and round. It would be good find a map of everything it has to offer. We could only see few shaded area and all of those were occupied we just went to have a picnic so my review totally based on a picnic and bbq spot not for people considering to visit for botanical garden perspective.
The place is quite beautiful in the afternoon. Great way to connect with nature. Great views of the lake from the top. Beautiful walking tracks , all around.Quite informative information board available near majority of the plants if you are interested in learning more about the different species. Plenty of parking and public toilets.
This place is a testament to why Aussie nature is so great. You can drive up a hill to see over vast expanses of greenery. You get blazing sun and nice picnic spots. Toilets are surprisingly clean compared to the cities.

In fact, there was a wedding going on when I was here. Really adds to the grandeur of how it feel. Paper daisies are also quite special. Highly recommend to come here. And all this for free, I can’t believe it. I guess it is a bit far from the city.

I had the most amazing experience at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan! This place is a hidden gem in the heart of nature. The variety of plants and landscapes is truly breathtaking. Walking through the garden's lush paths and discovering the unique Australian flora was both educational and soothing. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, providing excellent guided tours. The facilities are well-maintained, and the cafe offers delicious refreshments. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, photographer, or just looking for a peaceful escape, this garden is a must-visit. I can't wait to return.
I took my mum to see the paper daisy's today, they were stunning but the level of disrespect from tourist was heartbreaking, they would pick the flowers, jump the ropes & trample through the flowers just to get a photo. Security was doing their best but it was constant. One of the horticulturalists said they are never doing this again as there is so much love and work that goes into doing displays like this only to see it get destroyed in a day... Thanks flower tramplers! Way to kill it for everyone!! 😠
Very beautiful if you go at the right time. There are some rare and good varieties of flowers. There is a shop, cafe, toilets, picnic area, playground, and more.

The parking gets full very quickly but there's plenty of overflow parking. The cafe also had a long queue so we gave up trying it. The planted and well maintained areas are quite small compared to the whole botanical garden lands.
Spring is great time to visit Mount Annan /Botanical Garden. Great display of flowers. variety of native floral plants as well other ferns. Good amount of space to roam around , have picnic or just stay back and relax. Different adjoining gardens make this place interesting as well. beautiful landscapes to appreciate. toilet available. plenty of BBQ available in all gardens. plenty of parking available
We had a fantastic time at the Australian Botanical Garden in Mount Annan. It's not just a beautiful natural space but also great for families with kids. They have a wonderful kids' play area, perfect for a family outing and picnics. Plus, they even have barbecue facilities, making it a complete day out for everyone! And if you’re hungry, there is a dine-in for a delightful lunch experience.
Park located south West Sydney. Really nice place to do walks and have a picnic.

The park here is awesome so many paths and can even summit Mt annan itself.

With regards to the summit walk try to approach from Western side as the path is sorta safe. The eastern side isn't marked well and has a couple of orange cones at the entrance and felt a little pracarious.

The woodland walk was great need to come back again and go to the other building in the area.

I hear weekends can get pretty busy but weekdays were not too full had some school kids on excursions.
A great picnic spot and absolutely scenic. The japanese garden inside is breath taking. We got free entry as there was wedding photography scheduled on that Sunday. Good for kids and couples!!! Surrounded by trees and beautiful flowers, I highly recommend this place. You will find beautiful trail for walking and also barbecue slots along with picnic bench. There is play area for kids, which is poorly maintained but still usable. Public toilets and parking available so good place to visit.
