Auburn Botanic Gardens
Auburn Botanic Gardens offer a beautiful digression from urban life
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.
Nearby attractions include Sydney Olympic Park and Parramatta Park / Old Government House.

out of 5 This is a beautiful place that I would recommend to anyone. It is designed to provide a peaceful environment for people to wander around and take in their surroundings in a peaceful and relaxing manner. It’s an easy walk and I had an amazing experience. The animals were wonderful also.

This is a beautifully designed garden. It is great for kids to see ducks, fishes and reptiles in the gardens. The peacock put up a great show of his feathers when we visited. Very scenic, serene and highly recommend to visit.

Have visited twice for the cherry blossom extravaganza. Loved, loved it.
We were lucky as we came mid week and there was no crowd.
Thanks to this place, I can delay going to Japan lol
A must visit.

The spectacular cherry blossom festival will be featured in auburn botanic Gardens, which I have been there 3 times with the community. It was very nice to see the animals of a baby wallaby inside the mums pouch. Overall experience I was good.

Went to the Cherry Blossom Festival today. Loved seing the peacocks, Wallabies and wombat. The flowers and cherry blossoms are beautiful, and the food stalls were really nice but it was extremely crowded. Also not a fan of the fake turquoise colour of the ponds and waterfalls..... Not sure if it is dyed on purpose or what causes it.

How to get to Auburn Botanic Gardens by Train
By Train and Bus: Take a T2 Inner West and South Line from Circular Quay, Wynyard, Town Hall or Central Station or the T1 Western Line from Central Station. Make sure you board a train that is goes to Auburn Station without transfering, as that will give you the shortest overall travel time. Exit to the west side of Auburn Station; and walk south on South Parkade continuing on Auburn Road then left (west) on Chiswick Place (30 minutes). This is a relatively long walk so you may want to catch the 909 Bankstown Bus to Cumberland Road near Chiswick Road and walk west four blocks to the Gardens, however keep in mind the buses only run every 30 minutes (60 minutes on Sundays).
