Best Botanical Garden in The Phoenix

"Opened in 1816, the Royal Botanic Gardens is one of the oldest and most beautiful botanic gardens in the city. The gardens are open every day of the year and feature 30 hectares of exotic plants from Australia and places around the globe. The garden is also the oldest remaining scientific establishment in the country and provides a space for important botanical research and breeding."

"Featuring native and international plant species, the Royal Botanic Garden is a lush, green paradise. Whether you wish to examine the various exotic flowers or are looking for the perfect spot to picnic, the gardens are a favorite spot for visitors as well as locals. Opt for a free, guided walk and learn how the space served as the initiation ground for the Gadigal people."

"From the eastern side of the Opera House, you have easy access to the Royal Botanic Gardens, in my opinion, one of the most impressive gardens in the world, certainly from a location standpoint. You can’t beat the serenity and harbour views and this is a great place to spend an hour or two in Sydney. Take a walk around the gardens to admire the many different types of plants and city views. You can also take a free self-guided walking tour."

"More than 80 acres of sweeping green lawns, groves of indigenous and exotic trees, duck ponds, greenhouses, and some 45,124 types of…"

"Wrapped around Farm Cove just south of the Sydney Opera House, the gardens, which were established in 1816, occupy one of Sydney’s most spectacular waterfront positions. A relaxing day exploring the gardens is one of the best things to do in Sydney with kids. The Royal Botanic Gardens runs plenty of family and kids’ programs all year ’round (check their calendar for upcoming events) but we have the most fun practicing cartwheels on the shady lawns, watching eels in the pond and climbing rocks and trees."

"When it comes to Australian gardens, the Royal Botanic Garden and Domain is one you will want to visit with kids. There’s always something special on the show with a range of tours and activities developed frequently for kids (check their calendar for upcoming events). One of our favourite spots to visit with the area is Lady Macquarie’s Chair which boasts a spectacular view whilst being rich in history."

"Welcome to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, an oasis of 30 hectares in the heart of the city. Wrapped around Sydney…"

"Marrickville’s pet and kid friendly brewery The Grifter Brewing Co is equal parts laid-back and cool. The edgy warehouse screams Inner West brewery, accompanied by a full suite of quirky brews like watermelon pilsner and coffee cream ale. For a cheeky drink and some grade-A bar snacks like crackling and jerky, a visit to the bar is a must."

"The Bottle shops at The Royal, The Newport and Allawah Hotel are open for pick up and take away and guests can also order from Merivale’s online Bottle Shop and an extensive range of wine, cocktails and spirits chosen by Merivale’s drink experts, delivered to their door."

"No matter how far you stroll down the beckoning path of American cuisine, you’ll always end up finding burgers. The Hub House Diner redefines them so beautifully that it’s impossible to ignore them. But the menu is not just about burgers, they even do chicken wings, Mexican corn, and specially designed loaded fries."

"Their plating isn't boring either, order the popcorn chicken and find it in a jar with real bits of popcorn!. Must try:The House Plank platter also has it all. Southern fried chicken wings, pork ribs, corn and zucchini fritters."

"At the more casual end of Sydney’s nightclub spectrum is this Surry Hills favorite, which pumps out daggy old-school tunes that the bouncing dance floor adores. Past Soda Factory’s kitschy American diner-style entrance lies an inviting, unpretentious industrial space that serves affordable cocktails and great classic hits, two ingredients that are always conducive to a heaving dance floor and a cracking night out."

"Step up to the counter of Bobby's Boss Dogs and you'll see there's more to this 1950s-inspired diner than meets the eye. Behind the defunct Coca-Cola machine, you'll find one of the best hidden restaurants in Sydney serving up incredible cocktails, late-night parties and yes, some actual hot dogs."

"Cheese fries and burgers are the American diner staple, and The Soda Factory has that and more!. $10 Chicken Bucket Wednesdays, $1 Hotdog Tuesdays, this is truly the dream. Must try: You really can't go past those dollar dogs can you?"
