Very lovely place for a picnic with family, friends, or just chill by yourself. There’s a beautiful fountain, a lot of couples take wedding photos here. There’s some restaurants around to get food, and the museum is also close by. This is my go-to place when I want to have a peaceful afternoon on a weekend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Carlton Gardens in Melbourne City is an absolute gem! My recent visit to this serene oasis left me utterly enchanted. It was a warm spring morning, and I couldn't have chosen a more perfect time to explore this breathtaking green haven. From the moment I stepped foot into the gardens, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility that instantly put me at ease. The lush, manicured lawns were a vibrant shade of green, and the colorful blooms were in full bloom, painting a vivid tapestry of nature's beauty. The scent of blossoms hung in the air, creating an intoxicating ambiance that felt like a symphony for the senses. What truly struck me was the wonderful vibe that enveloped the entire place. As I strolled along the meandering pathways, I couldn't help but notice the joy radiating from fellow visitors. Families were having picnics on the soft grass, friends were laughing and chatting on benches, and couples were taking romantic strolls hand in hand. It was as if the Carlton Gardens had the power to bring people together and create unforgettable moments. The historic Royal Exhibition Building, nestled within the gardens, was a sight to behold. Its elegant architecture stood in perfect harmony with the natural beauty surrounding it. I marveled at the intricate details and couldn't resist snapping a few photos to capture the memory. The staff at the Carlton Gardens were friendly and helpful, offering information about the various points of interest within the gardens and ensuring that my visit was as enjoyable as possible. Their dedication to maintaining this urban oasis was evident in every corner of the park. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone looking for a peaceful escape in the heart of Melbourne, the Carlton Gardens is a must-visit destination. My warm spring morning here was nothing short of magical, and I can't wait to return to this haven of beauty and serenity. Thank you, Carlton Gardens, for providing such an extraordinary experience. You've truly captured the essence of Melbourne's charm, and I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a slice of paradise in the city.

I went for a walk in Carlton gardens yesterday where you can find the old exhibition building and the new Melbourne museum. The gardens are well kept and definitely worth a visit whilst in Melbourne.

It's a must see spot in Melbourne. Directly in front of the Exhibition Hall. This Garden is ideal for a stroll, a walk, to unwind, and have a good, quiet and nature filled time with your family or loved ones. You definitely wanna visit the fountains!!

On my morning stroll here, I saw cute little duckies relaxing by the pond, simply enjoying life. It was such a wholesome sight to behold! Someone also put a rice cooker bowl under the public taps so that dogs can drink water out of a bowl. What a kind gesture! Ahh, these are the simple joys of life... 💙

One of Melbourne's most popular parks. Just big enough to lose sight of the city if you find the right spot. It has a very calm and peaceful vibe. Lots of pretty areas, very clean and well maintained with a good running + bike path around the perimeter.

Amazing gardens for a wedding. Such a gorgeous and romantic garden for a special event. The backdrop of the fountain and exhibition building and huge trees for shade, what more could you want from a garden wedding!

Beautiful well-maintained gardens with lush green grass and shady trees. Dedicated play area for children. Ample walkways for walkers, joggers, bikers, and doggos. Crisscross pathways throughout the garden accommodate plenty of people while giving enough privacy at the same time. Lots of seats for resting and hanging out with friends and family. Great for picnics and family outings!👌👌 At one end of the garden is the famous Melbourne museum and adjacent to it is the Royal Exhibition Building. Well-connected by trams in all directions which makes it easy for people of all ages to visit the garden. You will also find old churches, chapels, heritage buildings and town houses across the street from the garden. Must visit when in Melbourne. 👌🌟🙂

If you're local in Melbourne or tourist, this spot is a must visit. The Gardens, located just beside Exhibition Center and Melbourne Museum are remarkable. The Gardens are so well maintained. They are just perfect for walkers, joggers with amazing flowers and it's green lush grass. You'll definitely look for the fountains. This is even a perfect spot for photoshoot. Also well connected by trams Don't miss it!!

Decent garden about as nice as the others like Fitzroy, etc. Here there is a small pond and bridge, but otherwise it is very plain space for grass lounging, sports, picnic and more.

Very close to the CBD, Parking was tricky, but we managed to find a spot after a few laps. It is good for a walk on a sunny day during the weekend or after a long working day. Very much liked walking under the long and large 🌳 🌲 🌴. Would recommend a visit if you have not been there before. Also, I would recommend going there via public transport if you don't live nearby.

Stunning gardens, we also stayed in a room with a view over these gardens. Just watching the sunset and rise was pretty magical. Lovely playgrounds. walking track, ponds and wildlife. A well used area and great just to sit back and people watch

A beautiful grand old building situated right next to the museum and surrounded by lovely green space as well as common areas. Easily accessible by tram and a must see for visitors to Melbourne.

Beautiful historical garden near the Royal Exhibition Building and the Melbourne Museum. It's a nice place to walk your dog. I've also seen newly wed couples taking photos in the garden. Good for a casual walk.

Have had plenty of picnics here because its a beautiful parkland with well maintained gardens and plenty of fun events throughout the year. Also come here for easy stroll on my lunch break or a longer walk on the weekend!

Convenient to reach via public transport because it’s close to CBD. There are Melbourne Museum, Royal Exhibition Building, fountains, a basket court and a playground. There are many things to do, jogging, sunbathing on the grass, reading, sports, watching the birds, flowers and the ponds and picnicking. There is shade under the trees. The water showered by the fountain cools down the heat. The architecture is wonderful for taking wedding photos.

I was jealous that there was such a nice park in the middle of the city. I was envious of the couple lying on the green grass, and I was also envious of the blue sky and clear air. The fountain in the center was the pinnacle of beauty.

Visiting Melbourne Museum to see Titanic Exhibition, which was very good. Gardens were beautiful with large numbers of families enjoying a beautiful day

Carlton Gardens in Melbourne is a delightful retreat, featuring lush lawns, ornamental lakes, and vibrant flowerbeds. Home to the Royal Exhibition Building, these gardens offer a tranquil escape with walking paths, historic statues, and charming fountains. It's a perfect blend of nature and architecture, inviting visitors to unwind and enjoy the beauty that Melbourne has to offer.

Wow what a place to go to. Need to stroll a ways. Never thoughts, you will adore it. The view changed into terrific. Get prepared with your cameras. You will absolutely take lot of images here. Can’t take the eyes out of the view.

Beautiful place to visit and look around. Walking around the outside near Sunset will give you some amazing photos. We went to a Diner en Blanc here a few years ago, and it was an amazing setting. From late afternoon through Sunset and then after it was dark and all the lights were on, so the Building really looks good under lights. The inside is also just as beautiful, if not more. There are paintings all over the place, the walls and also the ceiling and domes. They are all really cool and worth a good look. Also photo worthy if you are in to that sort of thing. I also had my Covid vaccine here and both times (first and second jabs) the experience was really good. We weren't standing in line for very long and were processed through the various stages of signing in and waiting for the nurse to finally administer the vaccine shots. We then waited in a second waiting area for 15 minutes so they can make sure you do not have any immediate adverse reactions to the vaccine. I would recommend you try and register to get your vaccine here if you have not had it yet. The experience for us was seamless and overall a good experience.

The Carlton Garden’s embody some of Melbourne’s finest qualities, a mix of lush greenery intertwined with gorgeous historical architecture make this a must visit location. Great for place for picnics, runs or anything you can think to do in a park & lots of dogs if you’re looking for friends for your pet.

Lovely to walk around during spring and flowers are blooming!

Pretty gardens, nice for a picnic. However not many public toilets around.

Iconic Melbourne landmark. Beautiful location for a stroll. Once the kids get bored, a short walk to Melbourne museum is a bonus

Beautiful public garden well utilised by locals. Gardens are exceptionally maintained. Highly recommend as a location to sit and enjoy the shade on a hot summer's day.

The gardens are beautiful with a beautiful fountain. There are also many tall trees and flat lawns in the garden. Sitting in the shade and reading a book can kill the whole day. People often come here to take wedding photos, so you are likely to witness other people's love when you come here.

This park is so lovely to walk through at any time of day. The trees provide ample shade for a picnic or small party. The architecture is magnificent and so elegant. We so a number of couples getting wedding photos at a backdrop here. It has beautiful fountains and little ponds too. It's located right next to the museum and also has a few cafes around its edge if you need to pick up something to eat for your picnic.

Lovely garden that surrounds the old exhibition hall and Melbourne museum. The garden has a beautiful lake and plenty of mature trees. The grass is well maintained and the shade of the trees are a great spot to sit and enjoy your lunch to get away for the business of the nearby city.

Very nice place, maintained and cleaned regularly. Atmosphere is very calm and benches placed around the park. Also there is a lawn tennis court where people can practice play tennis.

One of the best gardens with close proximity to Melbourne CBD. It is really popular with people doing photoshoots, picnics, exercises and sightseeing too. It shows its beauty in all seasons as it is well designed and maintained. It is also close to historic Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum too, which are must visit places in Melbourne.

Beautiful place to take photos, have lunch and relax. Plenty of trees to sit under and just enjoy nature. Always a pleasure to visit any event at the Royal Exhibition Centre as well.

Really nice chill park to just have a stroll. Lots of people taking wedding and graduation pictures here. It’s near some other landmarks, if you’re in the area you could just swing by to have a look. Overall there are nicer parks in Melbourne but it’s nice too.

A nice big clean garden to chill and have a little jogging. Many people also can bring their pet and food. This place also have drinking fountain. Near city center too. Easy to reach using public transport too. Plus, a nice place to see Royal Exhibition Building from outside

Beautiful park in the middle of bustling Melbourne. This park contains the magnificent Exhibition building and the museum.

One of the classic pieces of open space in Melbourne. They have a few of these inner city parks and they do a great job of making them appealing. Carlton Gardens, along with Fitzroy Gardens and Treasury Gardens are all immaculately maintained which makes them inviting. Each has its own feature and there are a few with Carlton Gardens. The Museum is one, the heritage listed Exhibition Building is another and the wide open spaces. Slightly north of the city but the tram goes straight past.

Great park in North of central Melbourne. Perfect to chill with a book or meet friends.

Went in to the Gardens in a sunny day for a post quarantine picnic with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Always a good idea to head out to the Carlton Gardens on a sunny day. A shot of the fountain.

Nice place to share good moments, it has big area to walk around

Being a melbournian for around 12 years, melbourne has so many places to enjoy and yes this is the one you can have fun with family

Fascinating, beautiful park. Autumns are particularly spectacular with iconic leafs everywhere

A smallish Park not too far from the Melbourne City Centre. Have seen many people use this location for wedding as it is quite picturesque! The fountains, trees, plants and the tracks everything combined to form a great Park near the Melbourne museum.

Tranquil gardens only enhanced by the Royal Exhibition building

Very nice

Nice place to walk and relax

Best place to jog

Beautiful park

This place rocks to walk your dog :)

Such a lovely space. The Exhibition Building is a beautiful piece of architecture and craftsmanship. The gardens are spacious and welcoming. Avenues of deciduous trees are as majestic without their greenery in the winter as they are shady and cool in the summer. Excellent spot for a picnic and some great eateries in nearby Carlton and Fitzroy and the Spring Street end of Latrobe and Lonsdale. The Melbourne Museum has striking architecture and is a very user friendly space. Interesting and stimulating exhibitions and has a couple of good eateries. A great day out with the kids. All accessible by tram.

Nice roads

My everyday place for jogging. The place is always cool, surrounded my many trees and lush green land.

Awesome to walk and run

It's nice

(Translated by Google) Although it is close to the market, it has a beautiful view and a beautiful appearance! (Original) 市場に近いですが、景色がよく外観も綺麗です！

Melbourne Museum is a great place for science, history n arts n culture with children play areas. A wholesome experience for entire family. The place is huge with galleries for prehistoric animals skeleton models. Social distancing is perfectly maintained to minimise the chances of COVID-19. Great place to explore n relax by families.

As you feel like walking in history

(Translated by Google) Amazing photos of the place (Original) Unas fotos increíbles del lugar

Very beautiful

I love this park, specially in Autumn

Was great parks opens courts open just great

A regal park surrounding the beautiful Exhibition Building. Plenty of space to exercise or relax. A popular choice for weddings. Best in summer when the gardens are in bloom.

Enjoy a stroll in this green oasis on the outskirts of Melbourne. Inside you will find a museum, the heritage listed Exhibition hall, children's play space and plenty of opportunities for laughter and fun. Worthy of a visit.

Lovely place with amazing atmosphere. The playground is very big and versatile. The landscaping and trees are beautiful in winter, specifically in the afternoon.

Really lovely gardens and perfect for photos. Great to have a walk around the Royal Exhibition Building and take a break from the busy city. Lots of people having wedding photos while we were there, particularly in front of the fountain with the building behind. Gardens are quite large and great to spend a few hours. There are a few points of interest around the gardens and some facilities at either ends. Definitely worth a visit!

Never taken an opportunity to explore the gardens and grounds until now. Truly peaceful, beautiful and makes you feel as though you've stepped back into history.

Carlton Gardens playground is just great. If you don’t get an anxiety from not being able to see your child behind one of many thick concrete dividing walls, you may enjoy this place as much as I, and far more than my wife. There is a basketball court for people keen to try that new American sensation.

Beautiful park with spectacular view of the buildings and gardens. Close to trams and buses.

Beautiful gardens, well worth a visit when you’re in Melbourne. Lovely to wander around and look at the Exhibition Building and Museum of Melbourne, both of which are individually architecturally interesting buildings. The gardens themselves are lovely too and a surprising gem in the city.

Went to the Melbourne Flower and Garden show. Heaps of food trucks and lots of other stalls. The Royal Exhibition Building was amazing! Parking can be an issue as the parking at the Museum was very limited and Melbourne isn't very car friendly any more.

Lovely gardens with nice open areas for food trucks and easy places to sit and enjoy. Went during the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show so the place was bustling and the walking paths were spacious and there is plenty to do.

Beautiful park with huge walkways (and huge trees!). The fountains are incredibly majestic. Great place to visit and spend time.

The last time I went there was to make sure the guy my friend was meeting up with that she met online didn’t kidnap her. During my stay, I waltzed the gardens with my buddy and we took in all the nature and the atmosphere. It was a lovely day and the sun shining through the leaves of the abundance of trees brought a blade of happiness to my otherwise dull day. Would highly recommend for children and dogs.

Varied displays by garden businesses. Plenty of purchasing abilities. Keep in mind you have to carry items unless access to a vehicle. Great day, plenty of refreshments available.

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW at Carlton Gardens was one of the biggest flower show. Beautiful flowers all around, one of the biggest show of it time. Loved it

A must visit for all garden lovers, so vibrant and magical.. The garden show was full of ideas and a day to get lost amongst the colorful and green designs of some incredible landscapers-garden designers

Beautiful lawned and paved garden set against colonial buildings in the middle of the city. Perfect for a walk in the evening or even just rerouting your path to get a bit of more green in your life.

Amazing place to take your dog. Too my golden retriever here and he absolutely loved it and wanted so badly to jump into the fountain. Loads of lovely places to take photos with your dog!

Definitely worth a visit to Carlton Gardens whether you are a local or a tourist. It's such a beautiful space which is home to the Melbourne Museum, the IMAX, Royal Exhibition Hall, ponds, gardens, a playground, tennis and basketball courts, as well as lots of lovely walking trails. It's perfect for family gatherings and picnics, a bit of culture and history at the museum or just a good run around at the kids playground. I enjoy the fact that there are lots of walking paths which are suitable to take a pram on and do big loops of the gardens.

Very nice park near the city area.. you can come here for a walk or a picnic and you will have a great time.. the Royal Exhibition Building is nearby so you can visit that as well when you are at the garden.. don't miss it.. :)

Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.

Carlton gardens is one of my favorite gardens! There are a lot of trees, flowers, some fountains and pond. Very Beautiful place. When it's good weather, you could take a nice photos especially in front of a fountain. Perfect for a picnic, walking, relaxing etc. It's walkable from the city, but you can catch a tram and bus as well.

Beautiful park and gardens around the Melbourne Museum and Exhibition Building. We went for a stroll around this afternoon in the sun. Our kids enjoyed seeing all the buildings and the fountain. There is a fantastic playground tucked around the back of the museum.

This is a centrally located, beautifully kept CBD park. Tram lines run past & it abutts the Melbourne Museum; easy walking access; parking available on street by parking metre

This is a great place to have a picnic or simply walk around. Lots of shady spaces also.

1. Huge beautiful park 2. great place to do sport; walking, jogging, running etc 3. best spot to hang out with familly and barbeque

Nice walk , a beautiful park with an amazing building in the middle, and Fontane!It is sunny in the late afternoon when most Parts of the city have shadow. The free tram stop is nearby.

It was really well looked after and great plant life. Public transport all around and the playground looked fun for the kids even though it was black and grey industrial looking. Also features the museum.
