Geelong Botanic Gardens

The current City reserve page lists Geelong Botanic Gardens at 1-45 Garden Street and describes a renowned regional garden with colourful plant collections, peaceful lawns, free entry and opening every day of the year. Hours are 8am to 7pm during daylight saving and 8am to 5pm at other times. The official page links to Where You Meet cafe information and notes dogs must be controlled on leash unless signs say otherwise. Use it as a calm central garden stop near Eastern Park and the waterfront, and check the source before relying on cafe hours, access notes, dog rules or temporary weather closures.
