Auburn Botanic Gardens

Beautiful botanical gardens with lots of animals to spot as you wander through. The fauna is beautifully kept, lush and well cared for, making it a real pleasure to explore. It truly feels true blue Australia—relaxed, natural, and full of life. A great place to slow down and enjoy nature.

If you are in the Cumberland council is free to enter. I would always go early morning, usually only a few people in the garden. Is a very big garden, the Japanese garden is very pretty some people would picnic there. They always have a floral garden and native animal part. You can see peacocks roaming around sometimes they would be outside the garden, there are few emus, also some wallabies and 1 wombat. Please visit the animals. Have some parking outside and also park area like playground and bbq area for families.

Auburn Botanic Gardens is an amazing place to come and relax. The gardens are easy to navigate and welcoming to all. After coming up from Sydney, this is a great place to stop and stretch your legs and get some fresh air and sun. Plenty of nature and native wildlife to see; the Japanese Gardens are particularly nice to look at.

A stunning hidden gem in the middle of Greater Sydney. Worth a day to explore, absorb and appreciate. Parking was a minor issue, but we attended on a Tuesday during a big week-long Cherry blossom event. So wasn't impossible to get parking, but Saturday or Sunday would have been crazy for crowds. The staff were really helpful and friendly, book your tickets early and have them ready before you arrive. We did find the information about getting around the Japanese gardens lacking in details. One could have been directed down the express (much shorter) path instead of the full length path. The Japanese garden is beautiful and worth a visit with a good quality zoom lens camera to capture all of the magic. Would come again for a longer visit outside of the Cherry tree event. Bring a picnic rug and enjoy the sunshine. So much to see here

Nice walkways and cycle tracks. Ample parking. Good place to see plenty of peacocks. The Japanese garden was closed by the time we arrived, so plan in advance if you plan to visit the gardens

Auburn Botanic Gardens - finally here. It’s a picturesque botanical & nature reserve absolutely worth visiting. We did some research before & found that the gardens opened in 1977, that it’s around 23 acres & it’s a network of lakes, gardens & lovely walking areas next to the Duck River. Originally a clay quarry & landfill site, a thoughtful redevelopment transformed it into the vibrant & beautiful green space it is today. The gardens were added to the National Trust Register in 2915, recognising their cultural & social significance. Very impressed by the size & the beauty. And it will definitely be more visits in the future.

Very nice botanic garden with a variety of the thematic settings: Japanese, Australian, some mini-wildlife area, peacocks, wallabies, emu; with a kids playground. Walking probably around 2-3 km area. Enough for 1-2 hours relaxation..

Gorgeous place to visit! It’s a must if you live in Sydney. We went there during the Cherry Blossom weeks, and it was magical! Good walks, lots of peacocks hanging around, other wild animals such as wallabies, wombats and others. Perfect place to bring your kids too. Definitely going back there soon.

I was excited to see things in bloom for the spring and see some animals. Sadly and disappointedly I didn't see much in terms of flowers. I was expecting to see some exotic floral scenes, but it everything looked pretty basic and simple. I did get to see some animals though and it was pretty interesting to see an imu up close and other native animals. Entrance fee was free when I went, but I didn't enjoy the scenery as much as I would've liked. My favorite part was the peacocks. I've never seen one up close before so that was pretty cool and there were many of them too.

Great park for picnic and relaxing. The kids will love the local animals in the kangaroo park. There's even an albino kangaroo! The park also has peacocks walking around and you may see the tails open if you're lucky! There's an annual cherry blossom festival at the Japanese garden around mid August (check their website). Entry is $5 for adults but free for local residents.

Can't get any better than seeing albino kangaroos and the entrance fee is free for today. This place is well known with Japanese garden features and cherry blossom during season. Still with out the main attraction, you still enjoy the beauty of this garden.

Absolutely loved our experience at auburn botanical gardens. The gardens are huge and easy to navigate. It really is a nice day out for families or even for a picnic. The Japanese gardens and Australian native animal sanctuary was our favorite. The gardens are very clean and well-maintained and for $4 an adult you can't go wrong. I definitely recommend this to anyone who just wants a relaxing day out without huge crowds and busloads of people.
