Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria - Melbourne Gardens

The Botanical Garden is located on the south bank of the beautiful Yarra River. Tens of thousands of exotic flowers and plants from Australia and even all over the world thrive here. The buildings and experience activities in the garden are also very rich. 1. Children's garden helps children explore the natural world In the children's garden, there are many interactive facilities, children can play and get in touch with nature. The Children's Garden has everything to help children explore the natural world: plant tunnels to crawl, rocks to climb, and a bamboo forest to play hide-and-seek. Every winter, the Children's Garden is temporarily closed for maintenance. The other seasons are open Wed-Sun 10:00-sunset, and every day during Victorian school holidays.

The observatory is next to the children's garden to explore the brilliant starry sky. The bright yellow exterior wall and the silver half dome are very easy to identify. Built in 1861-1863, it has maintained strong links with the Victorian Astronomical Society. The interior is only open to tour groups, and general tourists cannot enter. Visits to the planetarium are usually arranged in the evening. 3. Herbarium Collection To the right of the Herbarium Children's Garden is the Herbarium, which is a white circular building.

There is also a small library in the museum, which collects books on botanical literature. Unfortunately, tourists are not allowed inside. 4.
