Special thanks to Robert, the park ranger, whose kindness and assistance made our visit truly unforgettable. I visited on two separate days and had an unforgettable experience each time. On one day, I explored the garden in the morning under perfect weather, marveling at the breathtakingly beautiful landscapes and well-maintained gardens. Every corner was picture-perfect, and it felt like walking through a peaceful oasis. On another visit, I stayed to enjoy the sunset at Mrs. Macquarie’s Point, which was stunning beyond words. Watching the day transition into night while admiring the city lights was a magical experience. I also want to express my gratitude to Robert, one of the park rangers who went out of his way to assist us when we were unsure of how to exit the garden late in the evening. His kindness and helpful guidance made a lasting impression. This garden is not only a feast for the eyes but also a place where the staff truly care about visitors. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney!

I visited the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney for the first time recently, and let me tell you, it was a total game-changer! I picked a spot right by the Opera House, so I had the most amazing view of the harbor bridge. The trees provided the perfect shade, and I swear, the birds there are so used to humans, they're practically posing for photos! It felt so peaceful and natural, even in the heart of a busy city. I saw people enjoying picnics, couples getting cozy, and everyone just taking in the beautiful scenery. As the sun set, the city lights turned on, and the whole place looked magical. If you ever find yourself in Sydney, you absolutely have to check this place out. You won't regret it!

Lovely botanical garden: detailed review with dozens of photos. This is a really large botanical gardens that reminds me more of a huge Central Park than simply a Botanical Gardens. Of course, there are beautiful plantings here, but there’s also a lot of green space and open space. People were meditating, picnicking, practicing yoga…there’s a great deal of open green area. We arrived in the spring, and so much was in bloom, but I’m certain that the garden has surprises in every season. Excellent walking paths and clean public restrooms as well. There are little cafés scattered around, but you can also bring a picnic. The pathways are well-marked and will direct you to areas of interest in the gardens. Be sure to explore the gardens that are populated with plants that showcase many of the first attempts at growing fruits and vegetables by European Settlers in Sydney. The garden also abuts the harbor, and so you can enjoy that element as well. Amazing views of the opera house and beyond. We spent several hours here and only left because we were starting to crave dinner.

The Royal Botanic Gardens is well worth a visit if you are in Sydney. We entered from the Macquarie Street entrance so all of the walking would be downhill from there. From this entrance we were immediately greeted by the most gorgeous flower beds in bloom at Spring time. Every direction was an absolute delight to the senses. Flowers were being visited by bees and butterflies, there is such a variety of flowers and colours. I highly recommend this section of the garden, another highlight was the nearby rose garden beds. The most beautiful rose garden i have personally seen. The roses were blooming in the most gorgeous bunches. Next we made our way down to the lotus pond enjoying all of the lush Botanic gardens on route. Once we reached the harbour it is a flat, seaside scenic walk towards the opera house and back to Circular Quay for public transport. We visited in early November and it was an absolute pleasure at this time of year

Stunning gardens, well kept. Popular for families, with wide paths and many different types of plant gardens. Succulent garden particularly nice. Bring lots of water and sun protection on hot days. Governor's house absolutely worth a visit.
