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 The gardens are very beautiful and well maintained. Great place to spend the day exploring nature and animals and top it off with a picnic for just $7 an adult entry fee. My daughter enjoyed the kids play area.

Very beautiful and gorgeous place to explore. Got to see some of the animals and birds. We wanted to stay more in this place but due to rain had to leave early. Entry fee is $7 per person ( adult). Also they have a family deals please check on the counter. Very well maintained and amazing place.

Have visited this gorgeous garden several times. Recently came here on a weekday in Autumn and it was really peaceful! The peacocks, geeses and other birds roaming around are adorable and look so free. These birds as well as the animals in the Fauna Reserve look very well taken care of. The garden was beautiful in many aspects and there was plenty of parking on a weekday

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.

Had a wonderful time at Auburn Botanic Garden. The place is clean and beautiful. You need to pay $7 entry fee for Japanese garden. There was not much rush and wait time was less then 5min.

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).
