I’ve been to the Botanic Gardens many times and it never gets old. Even as someone who’s not super into plants or gardening, it’s just a beautiful place to walk around, clear your head, go for a picnic or catch up with a friend.nnThe gardens are massive and really well looked after. There’s such a big variety of trees, flowers, and little tucked-away areas that it’s easy to spend a couple of hours just wandering. It feels peaceful and quiet, even though you’re right near the city. The lake in the middle is a nice feature too, and you'll see all kinds of birds, turtles, and shady spots to sit by the water.nnThere are plenty of wide paths so it’s easy to walk or even bring a pram, and there are lawns where people relax, read, or have a picnic. I’ve also done the Tan walking track a few times, which loops around the outside and is popular with runners, which is great if you want to combine exercise with some nature.nnThe cafe near the entrance and the lake are great places to some coffee or something to eat. The cafe by the lake is especially nice if you can grab a seat and enjoy the scenic views of the lake. There are toilets scattered around the park and some water fountains. Everything feels really clean and safe.nnIt’s definitely one of my favourite places in Melbourne for a chilled afternoon. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, it’s 100% worth visiting.
We attended the Observatory for Stellar Nights. It was a a cold day and so I rang the help desk to confirm where the tour usually takes place- indoors or outdoors. I was told indoors so we didnt bring parkers.nWe arrived on time, plenty parking metered and in just a short walk we arrived at the meeting point. The tour was mainly outdoors. The guides were very knowledgeable, engaging and happy to answer any questions. We managed tonsee Saturn and its rings but the overcast made it slightly difficult to see anything else. Half the group missed out on seeing Saturn.nWe were advised that even if its raining, the tour still goes ahead and the group watches PowerPoint's instead.nI would recommend cancelling your tour if there is potential for the weather to be overcast/ wet.nnThe tours are only run on Monday nights at 730pm.
Had a great experience at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens today. I reserved a wheelchair in advance for my elderly mother, and it was ready for us when we arrived—free of charge, which was really appreciated. Pamela at reception was friendly and helpful, making everything smooth.nnWe also did the Explorer tour, which was well worth it. The male guide I’ve unfortunately forgotten his name was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the tour really enjoyable. They even provided blankets, which was a thoughtful touch on a chilly day.nThe gardens are beautiful, accessible, and easy to get around. Highly recommend for a relaxed, well-organised day out.
Just beautiful at any time of the year.nLoved the Cafe in the Gardens. Yum as food and amazing cold brew
Had a real good time at Lightscape with the family. Enjoyed all the great tunes, light displays. Hope the possums all enjoyed it too!
