Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens

Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens is a green space at the base of Willans Hill featuring native Australian plants and exotic species spread across about 22 hectares. The grounds are divided into specialized areas including collections of camellias, cacti, succulents, and local flora.

Founded in 1969, the gardens have grown and developed into a collection with several specialized areas. This expansion shows how the project evolved from a simple collection into an important botanical center.

The gardens serve as a place where visitors learn about local plants and conservation. Educational programs and guided tours here engage people of all ages throughout the year.

There are parking areas, covered barbecue facilities, and downloadable guides for the different sections. These amenities make it easy to spend a full day here and explore the gardens at your own pace.

A miniature railway runs through the gardens winding through woodlands, through a tunnel, and over bridges. This small train operates on select weekends and offers a playful way to discover the larger areas.
