Araluen Botanic Park

Cant miss this place if you are in Perth!

$10 entry nowadays (can't remember doing that before?) but well worth it for the almost Narnia like experience. Unfortunately don't expect too much from the cafe - very generic and bland. The gardens are breathtaking though.

Great staff, can be bit hectic during peak seasons, specially long traffic queues

I love this place, its just amazing, i was disappointed there was no gift shop to look through this time, there is some great provisions made for those with people with disabilities as far as parking near the cafe, its not the most friendly place to push wheelchairs about though, the hills can be very steep, it would be good if the top gate was always open to aid those who are wheelchair bound to and from cars, the other benift would be to draw a blue line on the map for the best wheelchair friendly parts of the park, i go every year and will continue to visit, a little bit of heaven on earth.

This is one of the great places to visit when you don’t want to travel far from Perth. Parking is free but difficult to get a desired parking spot on busy holiday or during the weekend specially in the spring season. You may have to walk quite a bit but all the attractions have their unique qualities. Visiting fees are very cheap. Easily accessible for disable or parents with prams. So many picturesque spots so don’t forget to bring good quality camera. To avoid crowd, visit during the week and not of school holiday. More interested in knowing a bit of botany and history, guided tours are available. Get more information from the help desk.
