Was not impressed with the botanic gardens at Gold Coast. Our local botanic gardens which is in a small country town is just outstanding and we can spend hours there so I was expecting a massive WOW when coming here but unfortunately we left within half hour of arriving after doing the entire ( what felt like the shortest walk ever ) trail track and boadwalk in the photos I'll add, which I thought was the ' entrance ' into the area around the carpark, unfortunately this was the most exciting part, the rest of the walk was through a petty little bush behind the Cafe backed onto people's houses in not so much of a peaceful walk being people mowing / TV/ general living sounds which wasn't so sweet, was just totally bummed by the gardens it self and was expecting ALOT more. We left and decided to go to rockpools with our toddler and had a way better time. Just way to short and ' boring ' to ever go here.

Amazing place for kids of all ages !!!! My 2.5 year old and 9month both spent hours here splashing around. Plenty of room for everyone with picnic tables, shaded picnic areas and chairs surrounding the water play areas, a on duty lifeguard aswell as Cafe/ toilets near by. Couldn't have picked a better spot for a play and to cool off.
