Palm House

Tourist attraction Botanical garden

👍👍 Nice architecture design of the building with the symmetry. There is a cactus garden near the entrance of the building which has lots of different types of cactus such as the golden barrel cactus. There is a small palm tree in the centre of the building which wasn’t very big when I went to see it. O... People often mention building,

    Nice architecture design of the building with the symmetry. There is a cactus garden near the entrance of the building which has lots of different types of cactus such as the golden barrel cactus. There is a small palm tree in the centre of the building which wasn’t very big when I went to see it. Off to one side of the building, there is a small fountain with some small plants in it. When I went, I found that it gets very hot in there.

    Nice and well maintained building. I didn't like the water feature tho. (When I visited it was out of order, so it was looking creepy)

    Stunning heritage architecture design within the grounds of Adelaide Botanical Gardens. This photo was taken during the ‘Light Cycles’ Illuminate Adelaide event 2021.

    Well maintained formal garden that represents Cactus and Succulent plants outside. Inside the beautiful Edwardian Glass House is a Madagascar themed collection. By far the best kept Edwardian Glass House that I have seen, on paar with the Kew Gardens Glass House but on a much smaller scale and only representative of one climatic zone. It is really great for photos in the mornings and afternoons.

    nice but my pram cannot go in into the palm house because there’s only a stair to enter it.

    Beautiful, even in winter. Looking at all of the plants growing is fun, but the glasshouse itself honestly felt like the main attraction to me. Stunning architecture!

    It's hot in here - great during winter but terrible during summer.
