Melbourne Gardens is a beloved cultural gem, drawing over 1.9 million visitors each year.

Families can also immerse themselves in the Aboriginal Heritage Walk, take a Free Guided Walk, or ride The Explorer electric bus to uncover the garden’s treasures.
As the sun sets, the gardens transform into a vibrant hub of activity with outdoor cinema, theatre performances, and summer exhibitions.
