Serene Gardens
May 2022
We enjoyed a late afternoon visit to the Japanese Gardens. Wish we had arrived in Toowoomba a few weeks earlier and enjoyed the autumnal colours. Plenty of water birds to watch too.

A tranquil haven
Feb. 2022
Nicely designed and constructed gardens. Mostly disabled friendly with some stone steps on some paths. Picnic friendly. No off street parking. No tea room so byo.
The toilets are just off site at the rear of the gardens. Not garden dedicated so open to public in general and not very clean.

Lovely tranquil, walk through was just amazing nit a long walk but very beautiful set and enjoyable. Ducks, turtles and various birds was a pleasure to watch as you walk around the garden.

Very nice, Very free!

Wonderful surprise. Googled things to do in Toowoomba and this was on the list. Lovely garden with plenty of areas to sit with a picnic basket. Easy access walkway around the garden that even the grandparents could manage. Only challenge is parking, seems only street parking is available, that aside highly recommended for a visit, did I mention that it’s free!

GORGEOUS and Serene
Oct. 2021
Definitely worth the small drive to spend some tranquil time. While it is "small", the designers have done a magnificent job with 4 Japanese bridges, reflective ponds, and so many plants and paths to spend time. A definite must which many people may miss

Very pleasant spot to visit
Sep. 2021
We have been to the gardens quite a few times and always find it a pleasant place to walk and relax. It does seem to have its 'Japanese' style being spoilt by the number of birds that increasingly seem to congregate there.

A must visit in Toowoomba
Sep. 2021 • Couples
I have visited a number of Japanese Gardens over the years, but this would have to rate as one of the best. It might have been my first visit, but it will not be my last.
While we were in Toowoomba at the peak of the festival of flowers and the gardens were busy, they did not feel crowded.
The only problem was finding a place to park.
