There is no fee, which is great. It is actually more like a giant park that you walk around at your own pace. There are some plant labels, but not as many as at other botanic gardens I have been to in other countries and in the USA.

There is a bus (441 from Queen Victoria Building every half hour), which stop almost at a gate of the botanical gardens in Art Gallery Drive. Or you could stay on the bus and go to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and walk along rather flat by the harbour into the gardens. The Main Gate is in Macquarie Street. Or you could enter just near the Opera House. It depends where you are coming from. I like to catch the bus from QVB because my bus from home stops there and I can get the bus. I think if you haven’t been to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair headland it’s the best place to take pictures of the Ooera House and the Harbour Bridge together and AM is the best time for photographs. From here walk through the gardens for as long as you like. Down on the flat is the lily pond but explore and find the rose gardens and the Greenhouse as well as the performance space (there is often something going on there. The Greenhouse usually has an Art Exhibition on. Many of the trees were planted when Sydney was first settled. The restaurant is very nice but there is also a snack bar or take a picnic! When you have had enough, walk up hill towards the left if you want to catch the bus back to QVB or over to the top right (when you are looking up from the Harbour) and this will take you to Macquarie Street

At the visitor centre/ shop

Best to leave 2 hours but can be done in one.

Sorry can’t help you with your question

Hi, I would recommend you to visit by your own. Very nice and charming location, direction, amenities, travel options would make your trip memorable!

No idea, sorry.

Un ora è sufficiente per una bella passeggiata. Il tramonto è bello verso l opera house

Hello Annie :) Yes the entry to the garden is free. And I’m not absolutely sure but if I remember well, the Vivid lights event is free as well ! Enjoy :)
