This attraction contains an amazing array of cactai from around the world. I was also surprised that this type of attraction was to be found in county Victoria. However, it is very worthwhile visiting. It is very easy to walk around and we were fortunate in that a lot of the cactai were in flower. Dogs are also welcome to be taken into the garden on a leash. Cactai are available to be purchased and there is food and drinks also available to be purchased.

Family of 5, the kids loved the Cafe and check sheet. We loved the garden. Colours and style of the Cafe. The layout of the garden and paths were easy to follow and the complimentary hats, umbrellas and water were a great touch, really set the scene. We would have loved to have read signs with information and facts along the walk.we didn't down load the guide as we chose to have screen free time so missed out on all the facts about the cactus until we got home. For eg, I often wondered how long each species takes to grow, where they originate from etc. My husband and I will be back, years from now, without the kids, for a longer walk and we imagine a larger garden. Well done on realising your dream. We loved it.

Hidden gem! Hugh cactus country, took us a hour to wonder around. Didn’t see many cactus flowers, not sure we came at the right season. Tried combination of homemade cake and two scoops of cactus ice cream for $15, small serves though. Otherwise we had a great time!

Cactus Country - Australia’s largest cactus farm; more than 4000 species of cactus and succulents and with many garden paths to explore a variety of succulents.

We had the best time wandering and exploring. It's amazing what the team has put together here.

Not worth the entrance fee, and the small choice of food available wasn't worth the visit.

My husband and I decided if we were going to get married this would be the place! We got the pleasure of fitting in quite a few little road trips up prior to our date to organise things and visiting multiple times to enjoy the sunshine and every time was a great experience. This place is a must visit and if you get the chance to hold an event here you will not be disappointed. Julie, Jim and John are so lovely and accomodating and made all our dreams come true. Cannot wait to continue to visit for decades to come! Cannot thank them enough for creating such a beautiful space and opening it up to the public to share the stunning landscape.

Super friendly staff. What a must see. Really enjoyed my time meandering around all the Cacti, and try the cake and ice-cream

Almost 3 hour drive from home.we went there to experience something different from the usual. Staff were accommodating and friendly. Plus points for allowing dogs inside!

We have also tried their slushie and cactus cake.with ice cream. The only negative experience we had was waiting for our nachos for more than 45 minutes and when we decided to have it for takeaway due to the long wait, they don't have takeaway container.

A well sent day with beautiful cactus and flowers. Truly a lovely place to visit if you are a plant person.

An interesting place for a day trip.
However there’s only so much cactus I can personally look at before it all looks the same.
QR code to scan to get the map on your phone so you can look at the different types of cactus on your phone as you are walking around.
Strongly recommend you to use sunscreen, as it’s a long walk around it all and not much shade options.
Staff were very friendly and trying to upsell drinks when paying for entry ticket.
Entry ticket was $20 per adult.

What a wonderful experience. You walk through the archway and your breath is taken away. You could be anywhere in any cactus country. We loved wandering through the amazing cactus even though there were not many flowering, they were still fascinating. Great nacho lunch and cactus ice cream! Yum.

Visited with grandchildren aged 10 and 12 and were amazed at the size and variety of cactii. We enjoyed every minute. Also had a very good lunch followed by cactus ice-cream - everyone should visit a great experience.

I've been wanting to come here since early in the pandemic when I saw some pictures online. We finally visited and yes, it is worth the trip! Amazing cactus and succulent garden over 12 acres, with a well-organised user-friendly guide to the themed loop walks, including botanical names and information about key species. I've been raving about Cactus Country to friends and family since we visited.
