The walk through the different paths would have been better if they set up shady drinking stations along the way. The discomfort from the heat overpowered the focus and interest in the cacti. I wouldn't do it again. I would recommend it for the novelty but not for the price. I seriously was shocked when I found out it was $25 per person. ($12-15 would have been way more reasonable). Cheaper for children 15yrs and under.
I thought I could maybe get some good aerial shots but staff will chase you down if you try fly a drone without a booking
Only downside was minimal benches/chairs to sit at while walking around, making it hard for those needing to rest more often as it is quite a distance!
Cacti are also currently in full flowering season and the gardens are so pretty
Definitely worth a visit but gets really warm in the afternoon so sunscreen is a must
Before you leave, make sure to try the cactus ice cream and cake at the charming little café—they also offer a variety of food and drinks.
The drinks and food were fantastic.
Highly recommend for a day out.
One of the most impressive aspects of the visit is discovering the range of cactus-based products available. From unique items like cactus wine and cactus flower honey to decorative and collectible grafted cacti, there’s something to delight every visitor. These products highlight the versatility and sustainability of this remarkable plant family.
Beyond the plants themselves, the place also offers educational value. It provides insights into how cacti thrive in the harshest environments and showcases the adaptability of nature. It also connects visitors with various organizations and enthusiast groups, creating opportunities to learn, share, and explore deeper interests. Whether you’re a plant lover, nature enthusiast, or curious traveler, this destination offers a truly enriching experience.
And do not forget to take photos at photo booths and selfy points with these beautiful plats.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the place was clean and well organised.
The only downside was the number of flies, but honestly, that’s just part of being in the great outdoors—something we needed to accept.
After having such a great time here and also at The Paddock at Ulupna, we’ll definitely be back again someday!
We stayed in the area and made a weekend of it, it's too far and not worth a day trip only from Melbourne. Highly recommend staying over to make it worth the far drive.
The on-site cafe serves decent, though relatively expensive, food; the cactus cake and ice cream is an acquired taste that I hadn't acquired, but was interesting to try.
Scenery was amazing!
We were very grateful they had vegan options as I am dairy free although a few menu items were sold out.
Seen a snake on the path so definitely something to keep in mind if you take small children or dogs with you. We told as many people as we could but the staff had no protocols in place to be able to alert everyone
We had the cactus cake with ice-cream which was delicious.
Such an amazing experience, the staff are incredible.
The cactus cocktail was amazing! Hubby rates the cake also!
This has been on my to-do list for a few years and I regret not coming much earlier.
Amazing ace, could easily have spent half a day there (we spent 1.5hrs due to running on a very tight schedule that day).
The entry ticket of $22.50/adult was very reasonable.
Thanx again Julie for our visit....... Hope to see you again soon
We walked through most of it with our four kids, only skipping a little. There were plenty of interesting textures and shapes but it was very hot mid afternoon in summer. We enjoyed sitting in the air conditioned cafe afterwards though.
We ordered tickets online. The only benefit to this would be potentially a cheaper price.
There wasn't as much variety of plants for sale as I thought there might be. Perhaps Christmas had something to do with that. I would've like to see more cute cactus merchandise for souvenirs, or cactus themed art/craft.
The orange cactus cake and ice cream was nice. The ice cream was mildly fruity but lovely with the orange cake.
The decor is a Mexican theme throughout with Mexican music in the main building.
Some pathways have cactus growing over the path so be careful. Some signs were a bit dilapidated and difficult to read.
Signage throughout with snippets of info about the plants you're looking at would be an improvement. There is a guidebook of some sort if you scan a QR code, if you like doing that sort of thing.
The little hut on the hill gives a nice view and a reprieve from the heat.
Baby change table in women's toilets. Decent bathroom facilities.
You can see donkeys in the fields too.
We were here at the opening time of 10 am and were the only visitors during the next 30 minutes, before a few other customers arrived. We walked across the entire garden and were the only ones during most of the walk. By the time we finished, there were a lot more people in the garden. Very glad we were early.
the staff were efficient from getgo processes entry quick and easy. the grounds are layed out beautifully and easy acess to all cacti and succulents. spring is when the grounds shine with an abundance of colours that will touch your heart with joy! food was ordinary though nachos needed more flavour and choices limited, overall i would definately recommend a visit to expierence the beauty of the country its uniqueness and feel of transporting you to Mexico.
Nice place to spend sometime with the family.
Parking facilities, cafeteria and toilets facilities available
They charge $20 per adult and $10 per child.
