How about visiting a garden for your family day out!? Now, before you answer, let us tell you about the Wollongong Botanic Garden...because it's SO much more than a garden!

Wollongong Botanic Garden is a place of beauty which welcomes families and kids with open arms. It's a place where you can learn, relax, play and enjoy what mother nature has created!

First of all, let's start with the gardens! There are a number of garden collections which are perfect for whatever interests you might have in the family!

The Australian Open Forest and Grasslands display forest plants from the east coast of Australia, and attract a host of wildlife too, from sugar gliders and possums!

Kids - you will love this "garden" too! The All Abilities Playground is perfect for kids aged 2 to 12 as it includes a climbing net, sand pit, swings, and slippery dip!

Now, we said that the Wollongong Botanic Gardens aren't just gardens! They have a range of activities and programs for everyone to enjoy! There are great workshops where you can learn all about the plants, wildlife, and gardening tips. 

They offer walks and talks - from garden tips, history talks to even GHOST talks! We bet you didn't expect that!
