Auburn Botanic Garden features 24 acres of dazzling gardens divided into several different themes. Having an abundance of plants and animals, the Garden is sure to please the nature lover in you.
You and your camera will be happy as you explore the various gardens that make up the Auburn Botanic Garden. Visitors will be delighted by the Japanese Garden, the Scented Garden and the Sunken Rose Garden. There is also the Native and Rainforest Garden, the Fauna Reserve populated with indigenous plants and animals, and an Aviary populated with birds, both native and from Asia.
In addition to these beautiful gardens, you can enjoy the current exhibition at the Peacock Gallery and Arts Studio also located at the Garden. There is no additional charge for this.
The Garden draws pretty big crowds on the weekends, so, if you can manage to visit on a weekday, it may be more pleasant.

Auburn Botanic Gardens Reviews
Rated out of 5
Absolutely gorgeous Japanese gardens, picturesque and beautifully manicured in every direction. Exceeded expectations and was well worth the trip. I went on a Monday morning around 10.30am, so there wasn’t a lot of people in the gardens which was fantastic. I can imagine weekends would get quite crowded. Love the gorgeous peacocks that are strolling around too

Went at 1100h on Saturday, 10 August 2024. Entrance fee $7 per person, single entry. It was an awesome place. Some of the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, others were about to bloom. There were ducks, koi, wallabies, wombat, emu, peacocks! Opposite of the garden was an aviary.

It's nice to spend time with family and friends while enjoying the beauty of the cherry blossoms. Today marked the first day of the Cherry Blossom Festival—it's crazy with so many people, and it was a bit too crowded on the first day. Overall, though, it was an okay experience."

So beautiful and well maintained garden. Free entry for visiting, sightseeing and animal encountering. We visited every year when they had Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival and it was so beautiful. Price for residents from other councils will be $15.55 each person, but will be free for Cumberland Council residents. It is fair to me. Tickets are quickly sold out so you have to book online even you are Cumberland Council residents. We saw emus, kangaroos, wallabies, peacocks and sometimes wombats there. Very family friendly. Limited car park so you may have to park at the Playfield and walk back to the garden for about 8 minutes.

I went on a weekday early morning 9:30 and had a lovely time to walk around and enjoy the gardens and even get in a session of Meditation in the serene environment. Got special treat of watching all the peacocks out and about.
