Twilight - An Adventure

Australian National Botanic Gardens

 

Visit the world’s largest collection of Australian native plants at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Explore a diversity of ecosystems, from rainforest to desert, and discover the rich stories of Australian plants in a vibrant outdoor setting.

Discover some of Australia’s most threatened plant species, and the work that botanic gardens are doing to secure their future.

Alive with learning, and just minutes from the city centre, the Gardens are the perfect place for students to engage their senses, refresh and recharge.

Stretch your legs on our scenic walking tracks, then enjoy lunch on our lawns.

Choose from a variety of interactive Australian Curriculum linked programs delivered by Education Rangers (including Around Australia in an hour, Indigenous plant use and Twilight Tour), or take a self-guided stroll (resources available online).
