About Australian National Botanic Gardens
The Australian National Botanic Gardens is nature at it's best, as here you can explore an impressive scientific collection of native plants from all across the country!
At this Canberra favourite, the plants are displayed in a way that you can not only enjoy them, but also learn from them too!
The Australian National Botanic Gardens also cultivate plants that are threatened in the wild, which means the gardens are helping protect them against extinction, which is amazing!
They also offer up information which might assist their reintroduction to their natural habitat when the time is right.
With over 4,500 species on display, the Australian National Botanic Gardens is actually the only place where families and kids can see the true variety of native Australian plants all in the one location!
Spend the day taking in the fresh air, as you stroll and listen to the birds, and even sit quietly and watch the trees sway in the breeze.
Don't miss a chance to stroll beneath the canopy of the Rainforest Gully, before heading to the boardwalks, or the Paperbark Treehouse, or even the exhibitions in the gallery!
There is always SO much to see and do at the Australian National Botanic Gardens - so c'mon kids, nature is calling!
