Come Early (from 8.30am) before the other attractions open. The bird life in the early morning is unsurpassed and the rainforest gully is just brilliant. Our water dragons are out in numbers during early in the day during the warmer months, sunning themselves on the rocks around the Tasmanian section’s ponds.
Come for Lunch. Bring your own or arrange something different through our café, Hudsons in the Gardens. Ph (02) 6248 9680
Our lawns and ponds are a great place to relax over lunch.
Come Late in the Day. A great place to explore and relax after a busy schedule. The rainforest gully takes on a new light at this time. Gates normally closed at 5pm, but you can arrange an alternative with an Education Officer.
Come after Dinner for a Twilight Forest Adventure night walk
Do something different in the evening. The kids can go bowling or to movies at home.
