Thirteen family members went to the Enchanted Adventure Garden for a 9th birthday party. We arrived early & walked around the beautiful manicured gardens. The six youngest ones then did tree surfing- this was a fantastic adventure giving them confidence & good self esteem as well as teaching them responsibility & resilience. After lunch we all had great fun on the tube slides, found our way through the different mazes including the 3D spooky maze & finished with the canopy walk. All in all a wonderful family outing!

One of the best gardens in Melbourne has improved if possible.. now has an excellent playground plus great new toilets and undercover picnic area. The gardens are fabulous especially the various woodlands and the pond. Huge grasses areas for the kids to run around as well. My son especially loved the small trees that he could climb TIP: parking on Foot St but more likely to get park around corner on Williams St.

Try the 50 minute circular walk up to Arthurs Seat and back. Easy and wheelchair friendly if you just do the circle within the park. Nice children's playground at the main car park. Trees will be turning colour soon in late Autumn. Great views of the bay and Ocean along the way. Just one place where you have to cross the road.

Ashcombe Maze and Lavender Gardens is 25 acres of unique mazes and quality woodland gardens that inspires the senses, celebrates the seasons, and showcases the true beauty of trees and plants. A memorable garden experience that educates and creates a sense of fun & wonder. An internationally renowned and magical place of excellence to share with friends & family. A sustainable garden of great value for future generations.
This is a great place to take the kids. The Gnome & fairy hunt keeps the kids amused for hours. The cafe has a great range of food, whether its just for a snack or for a meal. If you love your gardens, this is a must go to. The gardens are amazing. The only suggestion I would have is to the a seat for the parents to sit on while the kids play on the play equipment.
