We did the big loop today and it was amazing. Very quite, interesting plants and far enough from the city to forget about the stress and chaos from the city.
Spotted a few interesting birds as well.
Organic Cola from the visitors centre was tasty too!

These extraordinary gardens are one of the prime must see things in Melbourne. The site is beautiful and the range of plants and their siting and presentation is exceptional. We simply did a self directed early Spring tour here this morning. We just got a free map from the entrance and spent the most pleasant few hours wandering around and taking in the sights, sounds and smells. All we wanted to do was spend more time and enjoy the inspiring surroundings. My favourite areas were around the beautiful lake especially the various bamboo varieties and some of the shade plants. But, there are so many other beautiful areas here including the dry areas. We made a promise to each other on leaving this amazing garden. One day we’ll stay at a nearby hotel so we can make several trips to this special place and experience the garden at different times including early morning and early evening. Don’t miss this place. It is truly inspiring

Royal Botanical Garden has so many varieties of flowers and other plants that we had not seen before. It's amazing how well these plants were maintained by the authorities. It was wonderful to take a walk along the park and relax next to the lakes.
Beautiful place. The place is very large to go with little time, it is advisable to go with your family and spend the whole day exploring. You breathe a peace and quiet, ideal to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The botanical gardens are a place that is tranquil and peaceful. I loved the man made ponds that were teaming with different birds. There is plenty of chairs and water fountains to drink from. There is no entry fee and no waiting to get in. I would recommend a visit as it is well worth it.
Absolutely love these gardens. I just moved to the area and so overjoyed to find these just around the corner from me! There is so much to see and it is so well kept, immaculate and clean. Also very quiet and easy to access with tram or bus. You can come here to enjoy a nice walk, to relax in the open space or to see the different plants and flowers. I haven’t seen the light show yet but also looks worth booking in!
