I love the Botanical Gardens but I'm not a fan of the restaurant and bar area. They've added a dollar to all their ice creams, which I think is a bit of a rip off.

Take the kids to check out the lizards, about 5km from the city. Nice for a quick change of scenery.

When we visited we hired some bicycles and this was an excellant way to see the gardens as well as along the river banks.

I like to go there and see the fountain and have coffee at the kiosk , where the food and service is very good.
