Hobart’s Botanical Gardens is a must-see!

If you’re planning on doing one of our pack-free guided walks in Tasmania and you fly into Hobart, give yourself some time to see the city.

One thing you shouldn’t miss is the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.

And in a bid to enhance your experience, upgrades to the gardens are well underway, with stage two of the $7.6 million project commencing.

 

The improvements include upgrades to the main entry road, a new elevated pedestrian footpath and accessible crosswalk, lighting and disability and bicycle parking.

Parks Minister Nick Duigan said the gardens are one of Tasmania’s most iconic tourism destinations and a place that is treasured by locals.

“It’s fantastic to see these much-needed improvements progressing, with stage one works on the refurbishment of the visitor centre due for completion in January,” he said.

 

“Stage two enhancements are also expected to be completed early next year.”

“In addition, we welcome the new operator Bird in Hand to the Gardens and are excited to see the unveiling their new restaurant ahead of Easter next year.”

“These exciting developments are essential for enhancing the Gardens as a premier botanical, cultural and social destination for years to come.”

 

At 14 hectares the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are easily viewed over the course of a relaxed day.
