The park is very nice and serene. The Greenhouse is very pretty with many plants displayed. There are a few attractions, such as: the bamboo forest, fountain, buildings, and they are all quite pleasent. The park is attractive (however they were rebuilding a few places.) The workers were also setting up for the light festival. It was a very nice experience, and the whole family enjoyed the park and it's multiple lakes, views, and special places.

This botanic garden is very pleasant and is probably the most interesting attraction in the Adelaide parklands. While not prodigious in size, the garden has a wide and varied collection of often picturesque plants. The bicentennial conservatory is impressive in its size (probably one of the largest conservatories in Oceania), and the other buildings are small but fascinating, including the very ornamentally designed palm house, the Amazon pavilion, and the Museum of Economic Botany, which is a diminutive museum but has plenty of fascinating exhibitions.

The downside is that some of the garden beds are subpar, and due to maintenance some areas occasionally have a very significant fertiliser smell. Overall, the Adelaide Botanic Garden is, in my opinion, much less spectacular compared to the Brisbane and Melbourne botanic gardens. But it is still a very solid location to spend a serene afternoon.

Adelaide is a city of parks and green space and the Botanic Gardens are superb, with a huge variety of plants in charming layout. There are also fascinating oddities like a bat roost, with hundreds of them hanging off a couple of bare trees like restless fruit, and the Museum of Economic Botany. Would maybe pay to check the maintenance schedule before you go, as the conservatory was closed for arborists to do their thing, and one of cafés has been gutted for a refit, meaning the queue at the other one was quite long.

A pleasant walk. Unfortunately a lot of the beds were empty/ under maintenance when we were there so didn’t see it at its best. Still a lot to see though - cactus garden was fab. Very good range of plants. Would like to return at another time of year.
