Great place. Lots of interesting trees. Went on the volunteer guided tour. Our guide Terry Lingham was excellent. Knew so much about the plants and the history of the gardens.

A wonderful place for a stroll and to relax. Interesting plant collections. So many great garden rooms in one place, and the little Museum of Economic Botany also a delight.
Walked around Adelaide Botanic Gardens at night for Illuminate Adelaide Fire Gardens. Great fire displays. Illuminate Adelaide always great to visit.
Had a sensational walk through the spectacular Adelaide Botanical Gardens then through Frome Park / Nellie Raminyemmerin Park to pass the Zoo to Grundy Gardens by The Adelaide University Footbridge past the Saturday Morning Mens Lawn Tennis Association & The Adelaide Oval then back over the Torrens River by The Riverbank Precinct
Pedestrian Bridge through to Adelaide
Railway Station.
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.
