Alert:

The area spanning the Australian Fernery to the Gatekeeper’s Cottage is currently closed as we develop an exciting new landscape. The Australian Fernery and Tasmanian Cool Temperate Rainforest expansion will open summer 2025/26.

From Monday 28 April until September 2025, the northern end of Lower Domain Road will be closed for TasWater’s pipeline upgrade. During this period the northern entrance to the Gardens will remain closed. Please use the main entrance on Lower Domain Road or lower carpark entrance when visiting the Gardens.

In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens wishes to acknowledge the Muwinina people - the traditional owners and custodians of the land upon which the Gardens is built. We acknowledge and pay our respects to all Tasmanian Aboriginal Communities; all of whom have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity and culture.
