   Photographers, prepare to be mesmerized by the Botanic Gardens! With it’s vibrant and diverse plant life, along with photogenic bird sightings, this place offers an abundance of stunning photo opportunities. You can easily lose track of time here, spending hours or even a whole day exploring.

   Families will especially enjoy their visit, as the friendly ducks eagerly await your kids’ offerings of halved grapes, providing entertainment for hours. There are ample seating options and picnic spots scattered throughout the gardens. Don’t forget to bring a water bottle, as bubblers might not always be conveniently located on your path. Sun protection is a must, although you’ll find plenty of shady spots to cool off.

   For a quick refreshment, a small coffee truck awaits, offering drinks and snacks. Overall, the Botanic Gardens exude a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, complete with the delightful fragrance of various plants. It’s a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike!

   Such a beautiful place to visit and the best part, it’s free. We spent quite a bit of time walking around and looking at the different areas. Our favourite spot was the amazing rose garden full of wonderful perfumes coming from all the different types of roses there. Clean quiet park with a outdoor reading spot where you can read a book and enjoy nature. Definitely a must if you love Botanical gardens.. As it is a Botanical garden you must leave your beloved pet and sports gear at home but it’s definitely worth it

   Honestly wasn’t expecting much since I’ve been to a few botanic gardens in NSW but this one was one of my favourites – the rose garden is stunning. Well maintained gardens with interesting themes – definitely check out the succulent garden and the cacti at St Joseph Banks Glasshouse. Free entry, multiple toilets available and a little coffee cart. Great place for a picnic

   A hidden gem in the middle of Wollongong. This garden consists of many parts that captures all different kind of nature that one would like to see – from the most beautiful rose garden that I’ve ever seen in NSW thus far; to an arid session where you see some of the most exotic plants as if i was in africa. There’s also a tropical session within the garden, with a mountain setting in the background, which reminds me of the scenes I saw at Jurassic Park. The Wollongong Conservatorium of Music is right in the botanic garden. The historic building sets the mood with a view that one would imagine they were somewhere in the mountain of Swiss.

   If you’d like to see more than the beachside of Wollongong, do come to the Wollongong Botanic Garden for a little stroll. ?
