Beautiful Gardens and very family friendly - Loved the gardens and its well worth a visit. Only problem went as a single and the cafe is unable to cater and there is no outdoor eating area, but there are some beautiful picnic areas so again well worth packing a picnic lunch. Also took a tour (with Peter) and for me it was money well spent and gave me an overall picture of the grounds and then I was able to wonder around. Will go back with a bike to explore the wider more natural area of the grounds. Take the family and head off to explore you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful experience at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens - Wonderful display of native plants. The train is well worth the extra. Learnt so much about the native flora and fauna. Amazing that parking and entrance are free. Lots of guides around to answer any questions.

One day in the garden - My first visit was in 2012, and now back again 2024z what a different. Still an awsam place to visit. Start with the bus to hear the story and have an overview. Then walk around an feel the silence and see thoose fabolous plants and flowers. We will come back

Cranbourne - plants, bandicoots & bellbirds - The Garden Group from our retirement village thoroughly enjoyed the day. The Explorer highlights included an excellent and informed commentary plus humour, bandicoots and bell birds! Lunch in the cafe topped off a great day! Staff were most obliging in the organising of the trip beforehand too! Margaret

Great - This really is a lovely place. Run by lovely people. Not commercialised. Celebrating and showing the genuine Australian land.. We loved it. The 35 minute Australian garden guided drive is a must.

Highly recommend - I’ve wanted to go here for years. We loved the gardens , the tour on the bus . We did the wet lands walk . It’s wonderful to see a place that showcases Australia’s flora . Actually saw a bandicoot too .

Best driver guide ever!!! - We were impressed not only for how large and beautiful the Cranbourne Gardens were but for the amazing Explorer bus driver/guide. Simon really knew it all, provided so much information during the entire tour, and you could realise how passionate he was by sharing his knowledge. He was also so happy to answer all the questions. Simon is not only so knowledgeable but very charismatic and entertaining. BEST GUIDE EVER!!!

Tour, wonderful park - Amazing Cranbourne Botanic Gardens exceeded all expectations with their exceptional tour. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the cafe offered a delightful array of delicious food. It was truly a great experience for everyone involved.

A great day out . - The Botanic gardens are an excellent example of our Australian bush from many areas . The mini train that takes you around gives you a great overview of the area . And lots of information . On a cooler day we would now walk around again . The cafe and gift shop worth a visit and all you deal with were very happy to work there . It’s about 7 years since we were there and it’s a credit to you all . Thanks. - a great day out .

Getting around with the motot wheel chair. - Have been visiting the arden since it was opened. This time I needed the motor wheel chair. It was the only way I could get around, and without it we would not have gone. I am so thank ful for it. Unfortunately I had to walk, or better said, stagger and limp from the car to the visitor centre under quite a bit of pain. The wheel chair was available for 2 hours, I took a bit longer to get around, and 'raced' back over the last half of the circuit, may be I should have requested it for longer since it appears there were no other bookings, and the staff were friendly, engaged and helpful. One is instructed before starting off as to operation and rules regarding the motor wheel chair, there is also a guide to the gardens including where it can be used. Other visitors were very considerate, which contibuted to a rememberable time; the Goldilocks weather made the day even better. When I am better and time permitting will visit again. We try to pick different times of year as the garden is ever changing. Many thanks to those who make the gardens possible
