George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens

George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens span 42 hectares and are renowened for their collections of north Australian and other tropical species!

It's a wonderful free admission experience when in Darwin with the family! There are so many things to see and do, plus some super fun activities JUST for kids!

Why not walk through the rainforest and see a real life waterfall? There are various types of butterflies in the sensory garden waiting to say hello, and you can even see the tallest fountain in the Darwin area!

Don't miss a chance to take a photo of the 9m crocodile sculpture in the Africa Madagascar garden too!

Kids are very welcome to ride bikes and scooters on the garden paths, or play games on the heritage lawn.

They might want to climb up the birdcage tree house in the children’s playground too, or play on the viking swing! Don't miss a chance to get a bird ID sheet from the Visitor and Event Centre and tick off the birds they see OR they might want to find the five dinosaurs in the Cycad Garden!

So many fun things to see and do at the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens in addition to seeing the incredible plant collections that call it home!
