After entry instructions

Once you have checked in with staff, you can explore the exhibition at your own pace. To visit each artwork you will need to cover approximately 2 kilometers of pathways. Depending on whether you visit each artwork and how long you take to look at them, we would recommend allowing at least 2 hours for the outside experience.

Hazards

The Chihuly in the Botanic Garden is located throughout the whole Adelaide Botanic Garden grounds. Some of the artwork is located on grass, sloped or uneven surfaces, however the majority of artworks are viewed easily from flat pathways. Most pathways that take in the exhibition are paved or bitumen, however there are also grassed surfaces, gravel and stairs for a small number of artworks, and therefore may not be accessible to all.
