Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre

A beautiful, tranquil experience! It is a must do attraction if you are visiting Cowra. I'm a local, and love taking my visitors and kids to the gardens. There's ducks and fish to feed, and lots of lizards to spot along the way. Highly recommended!

I love this place so much that I've bought a yearly ticket. I'm looking forward to seeing each season. It's a lovely drive from Canberra through Boorowa and great for my dogs. The staff are wonderful; so friendly and helpful. It's a pleasant overnight trip on a weekend.

This is a lovely and serene garden that is well worth visiting. It is bigger than I expected, but not too big to be explored in 1-2 hours. You can also set up your picnic rug and spend the afternoon here. There is a cafe as well, up front.

The gardens are so beautiful! Lovely to walk around, the birds and lizards are great to sit and watch. If you or your kids would like you can feed the ducks and koi fish but it is an extra charge for the food for them. The cultural centre is lovely, it gives some background to the building of the gardens and who created them. The Cafe is VERY busy so if you want breakfast or lunch reserve a table ahead of time! I ended up having to go somewhere else for lunch, all the tables that weren't taken were reserved. You can sit outside in the Cafe and look over at the gardens while you eat its truly a gorgeous peaceful place to visit.

If you love flowers this is the place for you. There is plenty of parking for cars & caravans, clean facilities, gift shop and cafe. The gardens are easy to walk around with plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the view.

What a beautiful place. So serene, well thought out. Everything was in full bloom. Ducks were in there splendour. We even saw some ducklings Finished our afternoon off with a drink and snack from the Cafe.

Cowra Japanese Garden is a beautiful place to visit with the family. It’s very kid-friendly, with so much to explore and enjoy. The garden is stunning all year round, and every angle offers something new and peaceful to see. A truly special place that I recommend everyone to experience.

This was a wonderful experience to walk around these beautiful manicured gardens. They took you to another world. Great service in the cafe with great food options and then a lovely gift shop and our dogs were welcomed to join us.
