Wander through the well maintained gardens or use a free gas BBQ before heading into to the free zoo. There is a cactus/succulent garden hidden behind one of the children’s playgrounds, and the Chinese Garden is very pretty when the camellias are in bloom. The mini ride-on railway is a bit of fun for kids and adults ($2.50), running every second Sunday. Check the website for dates. The cafe/restaurant is closed st the moment, but hopefully will reopen soon.

Formerly the city's Council Chambers, this historic building now hosts local and touring exhibitions covering history, science, innovation and technology. The Museum of the Riverina's two sites bring history to life, with exhibitions and activities for all ages.

I did visit both venues of the Museum of the Riverina - this one, in the heart of town, near the galleries and library, featured the historical council chamber and an exhibition entitled 'SPY' on espionage in Australia and beyond, and the lady on the desk was very helpful and kind. The other venue, up the hill next to the Botanic Gardens, is a very interesting little museum, with all kinds of memorabilia of early days of Wagga Wagga, and its people/pioneers, heroes, vehicles and equipment (outside) and more. Well worth a visit.

We were told of this gallery and were fortunate enough to experience the amazing glass displays for ourselves. There are so many beautiful pieces of glasswork that you have to be in awe of the talent that produced them. If you are visiting Wagga this is a must see gallery.

A lovely way to spend an hour or so poking into the RAAF history. Located just outside the gates of RAAF Base Wagga, the museum is the old gaurdhouse so is interesting in itself. The two gentlemen custodians are very knowledgeable and are ex-serving in the Air Force so are a font of knowledge about all things RAAF. Take your time dwlving into the history and discovering all the nooks and crannies in this very interesting museum. Great activity for all the family.

We loved this scenic walk around the wetlands. Beautifully curated for a gentle loop around the water, and lots of wonderful wildlife and birdsong. A real find in Wagga!

Lake Albert is one of Wagga's most popular recreational facilities. It caters for boating, fishing, swimming and other aquatic activities, and is commonly used by walkers, joggers and bike riders. It is family friendly and a must for visitors to Wagga Wagga. Eight fitness stations have been installed in four locations on the eastern side of Lake Albert. Set over 800m, the fitness stations are very popular with users of the lake. The walking track around Lake Albert is 5.5 kilometres.

My inner snob is showing itself with this review. There is nothing wrong with the lake - Except for the sporadic blue green algae from time to time. Has boat ramp for vehicle access a park and BBQ facilities on the side. However that's it. There isn't much special about it. It just gives you the luxury of not having to travel 4+ hours to the coast. There are better Dams/lakes within a few hours drive but for an afternoon this will do.
