Vacation Care

COVID-19 Update

Safeguarding the health and safety of our visitors and staff is core to what we do at the Botanic Gardens and Centennial Parklands. We are closely monitoring and responding to Government health advice in this rapidly changing environment and putting in place measures to protect our community during these challenging times.

Our Botanic Gardens and Parklands continue to remain open to the public at this time, unless advised otherwise. Until further notice education programs, school excursions, tours and community events will be suspended. Find out more.


Bring your Vacation Care Group to the Royal Botanic Garden for active and creative outdoor fun these holidays! Programs include craft, art, cooking, gardening, Aboriginal culture, theatre shows and more! Our experienced Garden educators engage the children with interactive tours and hands-on fun, and they always make their own souvenir to take home. A fun day out that's not to be missed!

To learn more about the exciting range of events we have planned for the next school holiday, download our Vacation Care flyer here.
