Gorgeous display on at the time. 4 stars because it said entry by donation, but then when I put 2 x $2 coins in, the lady said "ummmm. " so I quickly put a few more $2 coins in. Then my friend told me that on the actual box, it said $5 donation for entry. Conflicting information as the sign when walking in said entry by donation. They should just change their sign to "entry - $5". Coming out at the cafe, we had a croissant which was one of the best croissants I have ever had. I would recommend.

Small but beautiful indoor area which is a nice respite from the elements. Donation required to see current exhibit. Great to support the community.

Excellent place to check out. I have been here a few times for different plant displays. It's worth a visit.

Really beautiful flower wall and blooms, filled with seasonal flowers and special blooms. All in the middle of city. Located inside Royal botanical Gardens. One should visit when in city for a small mindfull break.

Cool place to visit. Normally have a plant exhibit which is interesting. Doesn’t take too much time to go through. Cafe and little gift shop here too.

We held an event here and it is the most incredible space. One of a kind in terms of staff, service & venue. Can't speak highly enough.

This is a hidden delight within the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens.
It has a beautiful green wall and adjacent garden and courtyard. Informative signs make it useful to learn a few new things.
There is an exhibition space and fantastic architectural spaces.
All this after wandering through the garden.

We pre-ordered 2 high tea packs for a bday to take for a picnic in the gardens. Perfect if you have kids that can’t sit still. Food was lovely & more than enough for 4 adults & 2.5 kids (we added a couple of ham & cheese sandwiches from home for kids). Bring a ball or frisbee for a great family day out with pram friendly paths & sun dials, flower sculptures & fern walks nearby.

This was a wonderful exhibition held at the Royal Botanic Gardens. The entry fee of $5 is put towards donations for funding, and the sight was incredible. Their wall of plants depict an array of flowers and use of hydroponics which was truly a sight to behold. You could easily spend 30 minutes here just admiring the view.

A spectacular display of flowers and vertical garden, within the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. Definitely worth a visit if your already going to the city that day. Please refer to pictures for more

The most beautiful plant wall I've seen, and lots of other great plants too, inside the botanical gardens.

A really great garden to explore, and the more you search the more great little details you can uncover. Worth the donation price to get in

It's great to have a good time in the very wide Royal Botanic Garden and then stop by for a drink. We could have coffee, drinks, simple snacks and ice creams. But if you drink at an outdoor table, you have to accept the birds' fierce welcome.

It's not very big, but we'll worth the visit while in the area. Entrance is a donation at your choosing. Friendly staff greeted us and welcomed us to enter. Inside, the plants and flowers are lovely. Great arrangement. Have a sit and relax. Walk around and explore the different plants. I would avoid coming back to the Cafe though for personal experience which I rather not post. Apart from that, the Calyx is nice.

The weekly Botanical Talk at the Caylx RBGS was really INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE. Paul provided both screenshot and live examples from the RBGS plant stores. "Gems of the Collection" was a great way to spend an hour whilst also financially supporting our oldest Australia Botanical Garden.

Very interesting place where you can learn about carnivor plants. You can also feed them if you pay 3$! They also have an amazing vertical garden that they change very often

Free! And has some amazing flower exhibitions to visit. Beautiful and very informative which means it’s a good place to take the kids. Not the biggest place so avoid the crowds in the weekend.
