I recently visited the Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens in June 2022 and it was truly lovely. The garden is beautifully maintained and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The various plants and flowers were in full bloom, creating a colorful and vibrant atmosphere. The gardens are well laid out with easy to navigate paths, making it a great place to spend a few hours. I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing experience. Overall, it was a wonderful visit to the Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens and I can't wait to go back.

We got there at 9am so the car park was empty. This place really is beautiful and so well thought out, the different walks are brilliant and the attention to detail is world class. Our kids loved exploring and reading the different information signs explaining different facts. Great that there are public toilets and picnic tables too. Beautiful, peaceful tranquility in the rainforest!
