About
Assemble your amigos, stick on a sombrero and make your way to Australia’s largest cactus farm!
Follow one of the eight sandy trails through this 12 acre desert oasis to view everything from the smallest of succulents to the Valley of the Giants.
Take in the views from the elevated lookout domes, ‘spike a pose’ among the cacti, and enjoy a siesta at the café/bar.
Families love the ‘Spotto’ scavenger hunt, and green thumbs will be in plant heaven exploring the onsite nursery.
Explore a little piece of Mexico on the Murray at Cactus Country. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A phenomenal, fascinating and absolutely stunning place to visit! Would especially recommend visiting in Oct/Nov when the Cacti are in bloom! The cafe is lovely too; the Cactus fruit cake & ice cream was a tasty new experience for us, and we really enjoyed the Nachos & jalapeño cheese sticks!

Great I had been wanting to visit Cactus Country for a couple of years . My daughter suggested we go together. We agreed as it is a 2.45h drive that it would be good to stay somewhere overnight before we visit. It’s great that the tickets were all day tickets which makes the experience more relaxing. The Mexican style buildings, music, art, was great. The staff were friendly and very helpful. It’s been going since 1988. Check out the video tour of the place by the founder/owner.

This is Australia’s largest cactus garden. There are 12 acres to explore. My wife and I visited this unique garden during our recent holiday in Cobram where we stayed at the RACV Resort for four nights.
We were here at the opening time of 10 am and were the only visitors during the next 30 minutes, before a few other customers arrived. We walked across the entire garden and were the only ones during most of the walk. By the time we finished, there were a lot more people in the garden. Very glad we were early.

An amazing display of cacti and succulents with beautiful flowers. I probably missed the best of the flowers by a week. I’ll be back next year to see more.

We did a road trip from Adelaide to visit after seeing it as a featured location on MasterChef earlier this year. As my Mum is a fan of cactus and succulents it was the perfect spot to visit. She enjoyed the time spent there. We were treated to an amazing display of many cactus in full flower. The cafe food was great. Highly recommend trying the Cactus Icecream
