Gold award winner for ‘Eco Tourism’ and Silver winner in ‘Excellence in Accessible Tourism’ at the 2024 Australian Tourism Awards, the National Arboretum Canberra is a mosaic of living forests surrounding an entertainment and events hub offering breathtaking views and unique experiences.

With over 44,000 trees from 100 countries across the 250-hectare site, the Arboretum is one of the world’s largest living collections of rare, endangered and culturally significant trees. Just minutes from the city, the Arboretum is a vibrant destination for conservation, community, education, award-winning architecture, and events - inviting you to explore a world where nature, art and adventure come together.

The National Arboretum is dedicated to providing a memorable experience for all our visitors. Our buildings and surrounding paths are wheelchair accessible, with accessible facilities, and key attractions (including the Himalayan Cedar picnic area and Dairy Farmers Hill lookout) have sealed, level paths and nearby designated disability parking.

Whether you’re seeking serenity, creativity, or a fun day out, the Arboretum is a destination that delights all ages – every visit is a new experience waiting to unfold.

Open every day except Christmas Day (December 25).
