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.

What travellers are saying
- Jim R2 contributionsWe walked to and from the gardens through parkland but when you enter the area you will be struck by the detailed work that the staff do. Although it was early Spring there were 100’s of visitors enjoying this area. Even with so many people the gardens were very relaxed for most visitors who were either enjoying a ‘punt’ on the water, enjoying a coffee at The Terrace or simply strolling around.
For us, it was a bit more stressful as we lost each other for an hour or two but the staff at The Botanic’s were exceptional with their efforts in reuniting us!
We visited Botanical Gardens in other Australian cities but Melbourne in our opinion was by far the best!Written 7 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- purple_princessSydney, Australia51 contributionsLucky enough to be there for Fringe Festival night market. Awesome vibes and food galore. Lots of fun. The market itself is beautiful with so many varieties of meat, seafood, deli choices, bread and cheeses.

- Aditya MKathmandu, Nepal136 contributionsWe had booked the ticket online so it was really easy for to get in. The zoo is very big and divided into various sections. We didn't specifically do any tour as we just walked around the entire zoo area. We saw a wide variety of animals and they were well taken care of as well. We did see a lot of families with kids exploring the place. Most of the animals were visible however, the kangaroos were just sleeping so couldn't see them hoping around.
The best thing was seeing the giraffes going about their daily things. There is a cafe right next to the giraffe section so you can order your drinks while admiring them. There is a completely different section for butterflies as well. We were also able to see little penguins as well.
Overall, the zoo experience was really amazing for us.Written 26 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jill CPerth, Australia114 contributionsGorgeous arcade which has really kept its beautiful architecture. Lovely shops and nobody tells you about the little alley with the great small cafes and restaurants at the back. We not only enjoyed wandering thorough but had a great meal as well.Written 18 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathleen sAshburton, Canterbury, New Zealand315 contributionsreally interesting and a highlight of our time in Melbourne. Good displays and informative panels. The 'mood' lighting really helped to set the scene. Staff seemed friendly and encouraged people to stay for a long time, which we did just reading and soaking in the atmosphere. We had a few issues with downloading the audio guide but got there in the end, maybe a laminated handout which could be returned would be more user friendly as it is hard listening and taking photos with a phone. appreciated that the hanging story didnt become ghoulish.Written 28 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
