Wanneroo Botannical Gardens is a sure winner for the entire family. Located on Drovers Place, easily accessed off Joondalup Drive, the gardens have ample parking, and are close to numerous bus stops. Popular for weddings and other functions, this long established business is always busy.
Established in 1966 by a Dutch couple who transformed the sand dunes north of Perth into their dream garden, the gardens cover two hectures. With cool waterfalls and calm ponds filled with fish and lillypads, the gardens seem to block out the rush and roar of the sourrounding suburbs. The lush tropical fauna provide a cool retreat in summer.
However, if your not the type wander green tracks and marvel at nature, then the mini golf is your entertainment. Combining two courses, mini golf and the more difficult billiard golf, Wanneroo Botannical boasts to be Australias largest mini golf course. You can book a group session or even book a childrens birthday party.
For those who enjoy a light lunch and a coffee then the famous Leap Frog Cafe caters to your tastes. Although a bit pricey, the atmosphere of the gardens and the exquisite cuisine more than makes it worth your money. On various days they offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, and on specific nights you can enjoy a delightful wood fired pizza. The cafe is also fully licensed.
Entry price for the gardens is only $4 for an adult, and comes with a free tea or coffee. Mini golf prices start from $12 for a child, including all 36 holes. If you book a group of more than 20 people then prices start from $10.50.
