Beautifully maintained gardens. Has so many areas for to find a quiet spot to sit and relax. The huge trees are mesmerising as are many of the beautiful plants. We loved walking slowly from Hyde Park up to the Botanical Gardens to the Opera House. The green lush gardens are a gorgeous neighbour to the cement floors of the Opera House. Having the water views along the garden is stunning. There were so many people yet with all the space there are so many areas to hide and have some quiet time. We loved sitting on the grass close to the water views. The maintenance and horticulture teams definitely do a great job looking after the gardens. Some park drivers in their carts seemed to drive a little too quickly near people. I'm from Melbourne and at the Botanical Gardens the carts move slower than mt walking pace so I was surprised to see some speed so close to passing pedestrians. Friendly however I'd slow down the speed. The gardens have a lot of stairs and hilly parts when in the middle section and may not be mobility friendly everywhere. Definitely more even surface near waters edge. Great place to walk and enjoy some nature and sit under a majestic tree.

One of the most beautifully taken care of gardens I have ever seen. It’s absolutely immaculate the most beautiful walk and we’re not particularly into gardens or plants. It’s just stunning with loads of wildlife and gorgeous birds. One of them ur favourite things we did in Sydney.

Beautiful and iconic garden. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy this beautiful city in all its glory. It's a popular picnic place and very frequently visited by families. Highly recommended to go there more often than you think. 😊🌻

The most gorgeous place to walk around! Lots of open grass to relax & enjoy a picnic on, and the statues are stunning. My personal favourite was the fernery that was hidden away. Such a perfect place to get away from the city 🩵
