Hear what our visitors have to say about their experiences at Araluen Botanic Park
“What a rejuvenating experience at the Tulip Festival with my love! I can count the number of times I’ve visited Araluen on one hand, but every visit feels like a fresh escape. If I could sum it up, it’s like wandering through a vast, exotic botanical garden, crossed with a small-town spring flower market, and a dash of Freedom Falls magic.”
“I hadn’t been here for at least 20 years, and a lot has changed. The gardens are beautiful, and there is plenty to see an abundance of picnic areas and loads of places you can just sit and relax.”
“Absolutely beautiful, came to Western Australia for a holiday and was told this was a must-visit. Very glad we came. Wasn’t able to visit the whole area to its full potential due to mobility issues but what we saw from the car was amazing. They also accept companion cards so makes visiting with a carer easier.”
