As part of the Eco-Tourism Infrastructure funding received from the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is refurbishing the Visitor Centre at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne for improved visitor access and amenity.
The project will be completed in January 2023.
All visitor services are available from our pop-up visitor centre found in the Auditorium at the bottom of the stairs to the Australian Garden.
Voted ‘Australia’s Best Major Tourism Attraction’ at the QANTAS Australian Tourism Awards, and best Victorian Major Tourist Attraction for three years in a row, the heritage-listed Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the contemporary native Australian Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne, offer a plethora of unique outdoor experiences.
From a punt ride on the lake, or a relaxing picnic under the oaks, to a guided cultural walk or explorer bus ride along the many meandering trails, there’s always something new to enjoy.
