Hop Aboard The Explorer at Melbourne Gardens

Cruise through the Australian Garden and experience its wonders through sight, sound and smell on this special tour designed for a child’s view.

The Explorer at Melbourne Gardens takes in the shapes of the area's glorious blooms – button flowers, kangaroo paw and bottle brush – breathe in the delicious fragrances of different eucalypt trees, notice the colours of the landscape and learn why plants are so important for our planet.
