Fun things to do in Orange: 18 fun attractions and activities

The Orange botanic gardens are well set out, with wheelchair access. The trees' leaves are putting on a magnificent colour display for autumn. Not far up the road along the highway Molong a lovely art display on water tanks for our pleasure to enjoy.

Orange Botanic Gardens in NSW is a peaceful retreat, especially during autumn when the trees burst into brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The crisp air, wandering ducks, and occasional bunnies make the visit even more delightful. A perfect place for a slow walk, family time, or quiet reflection.

A beautiful spot in Orange for a stroll. The frogs were out in abundance after the rain, early spring colour and the smells of the Australian bush wafting over the rolling hills. You get the idea. Well worth an hour to explore the different species of plants and environments.

Beautiful gardens which are very well maintained. We did a slow wander around the walking paths and followed the map available in a brochure available at the main gate entrance. Cherry blossom was in bloom when we were there two days ago.

I came in July - Winter. Beautiful grass covered in morning snow ❄️, decorated with trees and water. What a sight! Tons of free parking as well.

Gorgeous walk around the gardens and you can take the dog.

Probably better to visit later in Spring or Autumn Beautiful display of magnolias

Cook Park is an easy 10-minute walk west of the Orange CBD via Summer or Kite Streets. Cook Park embodies the seasonal colours of Orange all year round. Summer's arrival brings gardens of stunning and vibrant coloured roses. From February to April, hundreds of begonias bloom in the 'Blowes Conservatory', and in Spring, a burst of colour arrives with masses of tulips and daffodils. A great picnic spot as well with ample playing areas.

Beautiful park for a relaxing day out! The scenic walking paths wind through plenty of gorgeous spots, with lots to see along the way. There are toilets and plenty of rest areas, plus a great playground if you’ve got kids in tow. The highlight for me was the group of friendly ducks who decided to follow me for part of the walk, absolute charmers! A lovely place to spend an afternoon.

Beautiful. Such an evocative old world type of park. Interesting old aviary. The greenhouse area unfortunately was closed

Beautiful park with huge trees, a duck pond, plenty of seating and gorgeous shrubs

Large park with lots of seating. A pond with ducks even, huge trees to marvel at also Flowers in winter mode but one can see potential. Greenhouses not in operation. Handy arts and craft store. Purchased a phone/ipad style mount. Works a treat. Enjoyable stop with walk around. Lots of street parking mid afternoon. Bit cool this time of the year but nonetheless worth the effort.

This is a historical park here in Orange and is a must visit. I will be returning many times as the park and its beauty changes daily. There is so much wonder and history to enjoy and be amazed by . Orange is known for its seasons, and this park is a fabulous place to partake and enjoy nature in all its glory. Add this to your daily walks or at least a weekly visit as this garden awakes from its winter slumber.

One of the best spots in Orange! Beautiful gardens, peaceful atmosphere, and perfect for a relaxing stroll or picnic. Always a favourite.

Fantastic effort to all the Rotary clubs who have seemingly fundraised and brought this upgrade into existence. Fantastic playground for young children with all the facilities for a good picnic spot as well. Another demonstration of rotary bringing people together to better their communities, well done and thank you 👏

Such a special adventure playground. It has all the essentials- toilets 🚻, barbecues, picnic tables and shade. The wooden playground has been constructed thoughtfully to give kids of different ages fun experiences. There are swings for different abilities, fun bridges that wobble, slides, rock climbing grips, and plenty of monkey bars. Everywhere we turned there was another special thing to discover. Next to the stunning botanic gardens and a lovely little Cafe (eat botanic) this park is a must for visiting Orange with children.

Beautiful playground with soo many activities for kids, places to sit and beautiful surroundings. Loved it

Natural dream of a playground - a lot castle-type areas for pretend-play but also slides and plenty of swings. Big area to run around with lovely little details.

Fantastic playground! Has been updated since we last visited but so fun for kids of all ages.

I was sitting down watching kids play and an angry mother came up to me accusing me of being a predator I stand up and say what makes you think that and she tells me cause I’m an old man watching kids play with no children I explain to her that that’s the reason for a playground is to watch kids play but she called the police so I hid behind the rocks and waited for them to leave I than watched the vids of the kids jumping up and down and has a sesh. Would not recommend to fellow older folks like me

A magical playground for kids of all ages. Let your imagination run wild in this mystical place. So much fun and adventure to be had!

Loved this place!! Such an amazing vibe for my family and I! Love keeping young and hip with the trendy rustic vibe and the wide selection of alcohol is amazing!! It’s 3pm somewhere!! 🤣🤣🤣 Great Turkish cilbur and really interesting hampers and exquisite store!! Loved the staff, all the girls were beautiful especially Izzy and her gorgeous smile! Felt so welcomed. Will be coming back 🥰🥰

Really enjoyable experience as always. Beau and Issy are so funny and they make everyone feel welcome and fill people with happiness with their humour and kindness, exactly what a country business should be like. great rustic vibe and cozy atmosphere

A little gem in a quiet area a short drive from town - dog friendly outdoor with cover if it’s it’s raining. There are some really unique offerings on the all day breakfast menu. We loved the Japanese dish and the Turkish dish. There are also classic Aussie dishes if you prefer. The owner is really passionate about what he offers, particularly the coffee, definitely try the special textured coffee if you like long blacks. Nice offerings for gifts and treats in the grocery store too.

Went there to have breakfast. It was good. Although, I thought for the price of the avocado smash it would have had more avocado. I liked the addition of the cabbage and the bread.

Our favourite place in Orange. Delicious food, charming atmosphere, fab tunes. Thanks Beau for good conversation and a textured long black awakening. And Issy for greeting us with a permanent smile. First snow day for 2025 and check out this snowman!

Loved this awesome cafe. It's is a wonderful, fast serving, excellent customer service & delicious food,highly recommended and there is a wonderful grocer with delicious foods, and drinks and they have an awesome taste of music. A employee name Beau was such a nice man, he made us laugh and had good service.

What a charming place this cafe was… an unexpected Korean influenced menu. Well situated, lovely country charm & efficient super friendly staff. We had the most amazing brunch which was the “Okonimiyaki”, (see pics) never heard of, never had before but would highly recommend it. Coffee was their own unique blend so all in all a great experience. Special shout out to Lilly, thanks for the sweetest smile & warmest welcome.

As soon as you step into the Orange Museum, you're welcomed by a team of incredibly friendly staff who are more than happy to provide detailed information about the museum itself and recommend other attractions in Orange. It's a well-maintained space, ideal for families, especially if with its kid-friendly exhibits. They even have activities planned specifically for children, making it both informative and engaging for younger visitors. However, the museum is quite small compared to other museums you may have visited. While it offers a concise and interesting insight into the local history, there isn't an extensive range of exhibits to explore. That said, it's still a lovely stop if you're in the area, especially for a quick, educational visit with kids.

Nice Staff, Small but interesting Museum 👍

Small but worth a visit, especially when there is special exhibition.

The museum is located behind the tourist information centre and provided an interesting overview of the indigenous and colonial history of the Orange area. We were really impressed with the old film footage of the butcher and the baker using a mixture of transport vehicles to go out and sell meat and bread door to door.

When we visited in June 2022, there was a lovely interactive exhibit by James Gulliver Hancock and it was whimsical, interesting and we'll thought out. I think both adults and children can enjoy the exhibit. The exhibits change regularly, so make sure to visit often. Also don't miss out on the very nice orange regional gallery next door

A great exhibition at the moment featuring some amazing artists like Sophie Lamperts exhibition titled “Anon” with intricate soft sculptures paying homage to female artist’s & writers who had their name removed from their work with “Anonymous” inserted in its place & Laurence Edwards “A Gathering of Uncertainties” featuring some amazing bronze sculptures detailing the metamorphosis of form & matter that governs the lost wax process.

This is a great little free display at the moment it is about food but they seem to change the display each year or so , great place for older kids but real small kids will get bored quickly. id recommend calling in and having a look if you get the chance. has public toilets and very friendly staff

Pinnacle Lookout is a must-visit spot just a 15-minute drive from Orange CBD. The short but steep hike rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views. It’s especially stunning during sunrise or sunset, when the landscape is bathed in warm hues. The trail is well-maintained, and while the ascent involves some stairs, it’s manageable for most fitness levels.

Get ready for leg day. Over 100 uneven steps but so worth the view with benches. Go on - take a picnic!

We are visiting from Queensland and were so profoundly grateful that the skies opened up and gifted us snow on the very day we were driving through Orange. Beautiful location, made even more special due to our first ever experience seeing snow.

Well worth the journey. It is only a short drive from town and the hike up is quite quick (say 7 minutes up and 8 down for us) if there aren't too many people ahead or behind you. Sunset here is much better than the much further mount canobolas, and it is less crowded... The car park isn't that big, but there is an overfill car park a very short distance away. The air is quite thin up here, so try to take in a lot of breaths on the way up and back down.

A quick short steep climb up stairs (15mins) to a beautiful lookout of the area. Well worth the small effort.

A short but steep walk. The view is worth it. Check it out

A absolutely stunning view in a serene environment. Great views of the surrounding region and Mount Canobolas. Just moderate climb up a well maintained path with steps to the summit. Offers spectacular views of Orange and Mount Canobolas and the surrounding regions. After a recent snow fall when it settles is well worth the winter visit if access is still open.

Stopped at Printhie on arrival in Orange & it set the tone for a really memorable weekend. Gen did our tasting and she was wonderful, so knowledgeable and friendly and actually just quite exceptional at her job. The wine & sparking was fantastic, as were the oysters and other snacks. Have not stopped raving about Printhie since, can’t wait to return and extra thanks to Gen for making us feel welcome in Orange and for saying hi at the pub the next day!

What a fabulous day spent at Printhie Wines. We booked the Wine Bar Table and was seated outside on a gorgeous, sunny day. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We ordered 1/2 dozen of the special oysters ($39) and a lovely cheese platter ($50) and a beautiful bottle of their Rose. Amazing view and such a wonderful day!! Will be back to try their restaurant onsite. Highly recommend.

Printhee Winery came highly recommended, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The wines were excellent, and the sunset views were stunning. A special thanks to Kylie, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable — even helping us try to secure dinner plans when ours fell through last minute. We’re very grateful to her and the rest of the wonderful team at this fantastic winery.

Already a lover of Printhie wines, I was delighted to discover their hilltop cellar door just outside Orange. What a stunning place. Beautiful views, stunning tasting room. A tasting of six wines was $15 and well worth it. Was tempted to stay for the tasting room lunch offerings but time was not in our side. Would love to come back and try the hatted restaurant in the near future.

Team Printhie have raised the bar when it comes to regional dining and wine tasting experiences. The great building that captures the view, the wine, the staff, the service and the food was absolutely flawless. Firstly thanks to Kylie and Matt in the Cellar door, especially Kylie, we certainly made her laugh and would like to thank her for her wonderful service and very memorable wine tasting, we apologise if we made her laugh too much ! and caused any disruption ! Secondly, the restaurant. From the moment we were shown to our table, we knew this was going to be good, but we had no Idea just how good ! Chef Jack, Joey, Ella, and Cat you were amazing, thank you so much for your perfect hospitality on Saturday. Chef Jack, your food is Impeccable ! Finally, Ed. Thanks so much for taking the time to chat to a couple of the ladies about the Printhie story, what the Swift family have created is undoubtedly one of the best food and wine experiences we have ever experienced, Congratulations ! So, our sincere appreciation goes out to your whole team for the way they looked after us on Saturday. Please share our gratitude to all and let them know to brace themselves 😂 as we will be back to experience Printhie again in the near future without a doubt ! Thanks again for an amazing and very memorable afternoon ! 🧡

Had such a fab afternoon here doing wine tasting. Kylie who looked after us was an absolute superstar. She was so attentive and friendly, and asked about our preference and made sure we got what we wanted. The venue is also stunning. Very modern and intimate. There is also an outdoor seating area which overlooks the vineyard. Our group was beyond impressed.

Visited on a Friday for lunch and were blown away with the quality and service! We all agreed it was the best meal we have ever eaten! Enjoyed the 5 courses with the matching wines which I highly recommend. Will definitely be back here!

What a find in Orange! Lovely place to walk around! There is a wonderful creek to gaze at plus good looking amenities and kids playground. Plenty of places to picnic or just take a book. Right next to the leash free dog park.

Beautiful area for a walk, plenty of space for the family to have a nice picnic or just an afternoon out with the children. Toilets on site are clean enough. Also plenty of places to throw in a line and have a fish, purpose built deck on the opposite side.

Nice place to relax, with a long walking trail, and bicyle road, 2 parking spot (one near jungle, the other near dog park) Not many drinking water around the track, but its good place nontheles, its clean too. You need to walk inside for a bit from the parking lot if you want to go to toilet,

Nice walking path around the lake, but it doesn't seem to be a complete loop. I can't get across the dam area. Overall, this is a lovely place to relax and enjoy nature.

Picturesque reserve. Visited for a walk with fun runners and walkers who meet every Saturday morning at 8am. Great walk tracks around the lake. Play equipment for children and amenities very clean.

Escape to a touch of nature l, Just outside the City of Orange. Plenty of walking and cycling paths. A great place for a walk or to exercise. A Family friendly location with facilities to have a barbecue and relax for the day.

A very interesting component of the Jack Brabham shared path Loop in Orange. well maintained and a lot to see and experience.

This is the perfect spot for sports teams to unwind after a busy day of competition! The welcoming staff truly elevate the experience with their exceptional service.

Great place to swim and relax. Great learn to swim facilities and fantastic swim teachers.

Strange exclusive toilet signs confusing gender with sex ie demanding people entering must use the toilet that matches their gender - when they seem to actually mean biological sex. And not sure how lifeguards will be able to police what’s in everyone’s swimmers? Or are they simply saying no to post menopausal women like me wearing men’s shorts with hair on my chin? Clearly this region of NSW is short on sex ed.

Good swimming pool. Parking available. Hot food as well as coffee available. Kiosk available too. In door + outdoor swimming pool + Diving pool too.

Couldn't use "allocated gentle exercise lane,' due to kids continuously jumping into shallow end and using both lanes to play, not impressed as this lane gets used a lot for other purposes.

I'm so glad I live close by the aquatic centre. It's a great place with great staff. The yearly pass is so affordable!

A great place to swim warm in and if the water is

Was visiting family recently in Orange and it would be rude not to visit a winery, especially when Philip Shaw was only a 1km or so from their house….no brainer really! We arrived about an hour or so before closing and the kids had been in and out of the car all day as we took our time to arrive from Sydney so a sit down tasting flight wasn’t really an option for us but it did look like an awesome set up inside by the fire. We instead grabbed a few glasses of wine and enjoyed what was left of the winter sun in the garden so the kids could blow off some steam while we enjoyed our wine. It’s an awesome space with a mini football pitch to keep the kids entertained and active. Only thing missing was an outdoor fire as it did start to get really cold as that sun dipped behind the mountains. We grabbed a couple of bottles to takeaway for dinner which were bloody good. Well worth a stop if you’re in the area.

First time we have come to Orange. Did a wine tasting here. Amazing setting, made to feel very welcome. Tables beautifully set with glasses for tasting. Rob poured our wines. Rob was very friendly, knowledgeable and lovely to chat to. Great atmosphere and highly recommend!!

Wow 👌 what a sensational seller door. Incredible ambience and an exceptional wine selection with knowledgeable staff. Absolutely recomend that you book in advance as it was exceptionally busy on Saturday and the staff had to turn away arrivals without a reservation. If the no6 Chardonnay is available to taste, absolutely stunning! When booking ask for the table infront of the fire.

lovely place! very nice wines and friendly staff! definitely recommend coming here if you’re in orange!

I had an amazing experience at Philip Shaw Winery on Sunday 26/10, Nick was an amazing host and the wines were delicious. A fantastic afternoon. Thanks to Nick for making our afternoon. Came back again today 2/11 same great experience definitely worth visiting, beautiful setting and great friendly and knowledgeable service

I recently photographed a beautiful wedding at Philip Shaw Wines and was really impressed with everything. The couple had their wedding ceremony at a local church, but we did wedding photos and had the wedding reception at Philip Shaw Wines. The grounds are large and beautiful and there are lots of different locations and backdrops which makes it really interesting in photos. The reception was modern and rustic and was absolutely perfect for this wedding. The food was amazing and the staff were outstanding. It was a great experience and an awesome wedding. Can't wait to get back there to shoot more weddings.

Well we have never been to Orange before, but finally got the chance to and we fell in love with the place. So we decided and my daughter told me about this winery it was very nice and well set up and plenty of areas to sit outside for a cheese platter and wine. The staff were excellent and very friendly. I would definitely recommend going to this winery for a tasting and sit back and enjoy atmosphere. Well done to all the staff and keep up the great work you do for the traveling public.

Stockmans winery - we had a booking here as part of Orange wine week. We arrived early due to bus timings and they were so accommodating, seating us promptly, having our cheeseboard bought out and getting our tasting underway. They had live music playing and she was excellent, Great food, great atmosphere, great service and lovely wine.

Lisa is a lovely hostess. You feel at home, warmed by an open fire or rugged up in a blanket, live music and the amazing story of their vineyard. Different to many other wineries, you pick the wines you want to taste from a menu and in what order. Going home without a bottle or two of your own, is a sin.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception in September at Stockman’s Ridge. We are completely over the moon about how the day ran and the service on the night. From the day we enquired, Lisa handled all of our emails and meetings. She helped us with all our questions and made recommendations on the things we weren’t sure on. All of Lisa’s advice was on point and the team always made us feel welcome and heard. Our guests were really impressed with the venue and having so many of the elements included in the package made us breathe so much easier. Thank you team 💗

Great tasting experience. We went there as part of a tour organised through Thirsty Tours and loved it. This was the only place we visited where the choice of wine was so open and we got to build our own experience. The sweet wines were amazing and the storytelling about the winery was informative and -I don't know how to put this- lovely? Good? Engaging? All that. Also, there were peacocks and a dog and our group of 7 easily distracted folks were made to feel right at home. Highly recommended.

We were warmly welcomed with friendly service and enjoyed a sun drenched outdoor tasting in a beautiful environment. We sampled quality wines at reasonable prices and very much appreciated Jonathon’s informative presentation. The Cellar Door has been arranged and furnished tastefully to create a visual feast. Definitely worth a return visit!

I had such high hopes for this vineyard, but the overall experience was disappointing. Despite having a booking, our arrival seemed to catch the hosts off guard resulting in our tasting starting about 20-25 mins after our arrival time. That left little time for the advertised additional tasting options as we were told the cellar was ‘short staffed’… on a Saturday. Beautiful grounds, okay wines, but the service left a lot to be desired. Stockman’s Ridge really was the (surprise) lowlight of an otherwise lovely weekend.

We had a great afternoon, we only called in for a quick drink and ended up having a tasting and walking away with some great wines. Staff were very friendly with great knowledge and fun personality. Fantastic view and relaxing setting.

We drove out as we were leaving Orange heading back to Sydney (a slight detour). The walk down to the falls is not particularly long, and we did a loop around to see different parts of the waterfalls. It's a nice little spot near Orange.

From the Central Mines Trail car park on Ophir Road, it’s a little over half a kilometre walk to the junction of the steep rocky path which leads down to the river. The trail is not well defined from here, so one needs to wear sturdy footwear and take care scrambling over the rocks. However, the reward of reaching one of several deeper pools suitable for swimming along the chain of cascades upstream is well worth it. Usually not busy weekdays, and many pleasant spots are quite secluded. Bring water, a hat and sunscreen is highly recommended. No phone reception though. No glass please, and take all your trash out with you when you leave.

Great location Waterfalls noise is so soothing Area is bit sloopy towards the water. Need to take precautions when decending down to water falls. Few places to choose from

Nice little stroll through gumtree and wattle forest When you first see the Falls it’s a “Woaw” moment Nice spot for a picnic

Very nice spot to have a dip and relax. A must visit if you are in Orange and loves waterfalls hunting. Waterfall is in few stages. Water is cold and clean. Around 10 mins walk from the car park, there are few stone steps to the base. No signals at all so best to bookmark this if you are visiting. Visited o Easter break 2024

Great hidden set of waterfalls. Despite having been in Orange for years today was my first time visiting. There is a small car park and to get to the falls you need to walk for approximately 400-500 meters. The path down to the falls is fairly easy but if the weather is poor make sure you wear good footwear. There are no facilities here so bring everything you may need.

The Falls was quite spectacular to see. The car park area is sudden when driving to it via Orange direction. There is a little angle down so just be careful with the regular cars. Small space for a trailer, a caravan or bus would be okay to get in a one spot, but might be challenging to get out due to narrow road, blind spots in 100km/h zone, and slightly step to get out of spot of, so maybe best to park it up before making the detour. The walk to the falls is 90% flat, throughout a fire access road by the looks of it that is fairly flat and okay for disability requirements. The last 10%, or about 50 meters or so down to the falls is quite rocky and not recommended for people with bad ankle, knees, or disabilities. Can still see the falls if you walk about 10m in from the fire track, prior to going down the rocky area. Could go closer to the bigger area of the falls if you want to do some light rock climbing through the trails. Sign at front says surveillance in use. No dogs. Did see couple with dog on leash there though. About 15 minutes out of Orange, good drive. Be wary of one tighter bridge crossing if with caravan.

The lake is an ever beautiful location, with fantastic cafe, all times of year. Absolute highlight of Orange..

Beautiful place to spend time with loved ones. You will take foods with u or can enjoy get it from the cafe while having the kids on the playground.

A great place to enjoy the outdoors. It's only a short drive from Orange town centre. There's plenty of parking, toilet and BBQ facilities, tables and benches. There is also a lakeside cafe. Highly recommend the short walking track around the lake.

Been here done that and apart from a peaceful and well kept Parkland with some water (oh and a good play area for the kids on the other side), I'd say no reason to return.

Beautiful place. Take the time to wander around the lake and listen to all the birds. Very tranquil and peaceful with an easy walking trail around the lake.

Great walk, a cafe, mini beach area and play/picnic facilities, great for families

Such an awesome place. You can park your car right next the lake, very convenient. I haven't tried the Cafe there as it was closed. The walk across the bridge to the other side is a must. BBQ facilities are also available.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Rowlee Dining and Bar, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed - not just by the stunning setting, but by the entire dining experience. Nestled in a picturesque location overlooking rolling hills and vineyards, the restaurant offers a perfect blend of modern elegance and relaxed comfort. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with thoughtfully designed interiors that made us feel right at home. The views alone are worth the visit, but what truly stood out was the impeccable service and the incredible food. Every dish we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely bursting with flavour. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation were evident in every bite. It's hard to pick a favourite because everything was simply outstanding - we honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. This was more than just a lunch; it was an experience to remember. We left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both in taste and atmosphere, Rowlee Dining and Bar is an absolute must.

I had a fantastic experience at Rowlee Restaurant in Orange. I chose the paired wines with my meal, and the selections were thoughtfully matched to each dish, enhancing the overall dining experience. The food was beautifully presented, seasonal, and full of flavour. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, especially when it came to explaining the wines and menu. The setting is stunning, with a relaxed and elegant atmosphere that makes the whole visit feel special. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the region!

Rowlee Winery in Orange offers a highly recommended positive dining experience. The exceptional food, featuring fresh seasonal produce, is elevated by expertly crafted wine pairings using their estate-grown wines. The attentive and friendly service further enhances this memorable gastronomic journey.

I visited Rowlee with a few friends and we had such a good time! Fun vibe, welcoming environment, knowledgeable and friendly staff and AMAZING wine. I took to bottles back with me to Sydney, the sparking and the rosé are phenomenal.

We had lunch for 6 today and I have to rave about it. It was absolutely fabulous!. All our shared dishes were outstandingly delicious, the service was impeccable and the venue is gorgeous, with views. I highly recommend. My personal highlights were the ravioli, the beef cheeks and the single vineyard Chardonnay.

If you're searching for an exceptional venue for your event — look no further! After carefully comparing several options, I chose 'The Stables' at Rowlee to host my highly curated, private party. It exceeded every expectation. Nestled in a sheltered location with sweeping rural views, The Stables is both charming and unpretentious. The surrounding spaces are thoughtfully designed, allowing guests to move and mingle with ease. We began late in the afternoon on the lawn, enjoying the scenery before moving indoors to a warm, rustic, and intimate dining space with excellent acoustics for music and dancing. For those who preferred conversation over dancing, the pretty gravel courtyard — with its inviting fire pits — offered the perfect spot to congregate and chat. Every element of this venue deserves a 10 out of 5. Bon, the restaurant and event manager, was an absolute pleasure to work with - every request was met with a cheerful “yes” and executed seamlessly. The food was first-class: served promptly, beautifully presented and perfectly paired with Rowlee’s delicious wines. The staff were upbeat and professional, and meticulous attention was given to site setup and my technical needs for audio-visual presentations. Even the owners introduced themselves and were genuinely eager to assist in any way they could. Guest feedback has been unanimous: “Rowlee is the most beautiful venue!” I couldn't be happier. A heartfelt thank you to Bon, James, Nicole, and the entire team—congratulations on the incredible work you are doing at Rowlee. You have made it a very unique and special place.

We had a wonderful lunch at Rowlee Vineyard - the food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the views were stunning. A must visit while you're in Orange!

Such a small and charming Gallery, I truly enjoyed my visit there. Free entry 😊

Very moving display outside of the Gallery. An homage to tragedy but touching in that it acknowledges the enormous amount of female lives lost to homicides in Australia. Inside the gallery there are nice, modern spaces with interesting exhibitions to wander through. Worth a visit.

A wonderful welcome and explanation from the extremely competent front house employee, started my highly enjoyable experience in this welcoming comforting regional Art Gallery. A must on your visit to Orange ticks all the boxes .

Four of us were visiting Orange and entered the Gallery on the recommendation of the information centre. We were glad for the advice as the displays were superb. The finalists of the Wynn prize for landscapes were on display and the works were generally superb to look at. The winner was amazing as were several of the finalists and those unlucky not to be favourites. Then we moved onto the NSW high schools’ art works finalists. I was particularly taken by a work consisting of three drawings of the artist and her sister which I originally thought were photographs! Other favourites included a pixel style image best viewed through the distance lenses of a pair of binoculars and four very light silk hangings with a photograph on each showing off the artist in different Korean and Chinese costumes.

Great place to experience the art culture of the Orange city. Orange has been home to a lot of great Australian artists including Banjo Patterson. Plenty of parking around and this place is free to visit. Right in the middle of the city and can be a good place to visit if you are driving through the town.

Feb-25: the gallery space has changed and it is still very nice to visit Jun-22: lots more open now and lots of visitors too, don't forget to visit the very nice museum next door. The Steve Lopes artworks were very realistic and transported me back to other countries overseas Oct-20: The gallery is home to local exhibits. Its right next to the information centre, so go to the gallery first before picking up your walking trails for orange. This was my third visit and I like the displays here.

Good exhibitions and very welcoming gallerist👍

We loved our experience with Vine Venture Tours! Bradley was amazing to communicate with, and Graham our tour guide on the day was so friendly and nice. Really accommodating. Great places they took us too, as well. We even got a vineyard tour with the winemaker at the first place, and as someone who tours in a lot of wine countries, this was a true treat. Pricing of tour was great and well worth it. Wine was amazing, as well. Thanks for everything! We’ll be back, for sure!

We went on a half-day tour, starting midday. Pickup was on time, we went to three wineries and we loved them all, great wines and service. Our guide, John, was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Overall, the service was excellent, the van had AC, was clean and water/snacks were provided along the way!

We had John take us for a half day afternoon tour at Heifer Station, Swinging Bridge and Macquariedale Organic that had a magnificent view, but then offered us an additional stop at the top of Mount Canobolas! We were left for an hour at each spot to enjoy the wines at a leisurely pace. Even when running late at the last stop he did not rush us. It was great to have a private tour by chance and not have the tour cancel due to lack of numbers! We would definitely recommend this tour and possibly do a full day next time!

We organized a last minute wine tour with Mitch and were incredibly happy with the level of service and his ability to cater to the groups wine tastes. The tour was flawless and run an easy pace! Mitch provided great insights about Orange region and was more than happy to answer any questions and provide local recommendations. To top off the service, he even tracked us down at a local café to return a pair of lost sunglasses! 10/10 service! Would highly recommend Vine Ventures to anyone travelling to Orange and would definitely re-book on our next holiday!

I can highly recommend this tour. Our guide Will really looked after all 11 of us. All wineries were amazing. Will’s local knowledge was just fantastic. The company was extremely amenable and a pleasure to with. Thank you Vine Ventures. What a great day.

Our wine tour was amazing. Our guide, Will was very friendly and accommodating and took his time to understand what our groups interests were and tailoring the tour to suit us! Will took us to some well-known wineries, and also some hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Highly recommend Vine Ventures, will definitely tour with them again.

We had such a wonderful day, touring the wineries in Orange. Our guide, Will, was very knowledgeable and professional. He ensured everyone in the group enjoyed the day and had the best experience. Highly recommend Vine Ventures to anyone looking for a fun day out.

This is just breathtaking and magical but unfortunately only for the extremely fit and healthy. It's a real trek 6.5kms up and down steap valleys with a myriad of obstacles. But for those who can it was an amazing experience for me 💕🙏♥️📸

Beautiful hike, great length to get a good exercise in. The falls were very picturesque and the flora was particularly vibrant throughout spring. It's fairly steep on the way down/up from the falls itself (that bit was very much a workout!)

Well worth seeing, as long as it's flowing. Having said that, there is a cave that takes you in behind the falls that seems like another world of ferns. Well worth the walk over all but make sure you have your up hill walking legs.. 😀

This is a stunning place to visit, you need to expect a bit of a hike to get to the Falls. But well worth it when they are flowing. And remember to pace yourself and take your time. The track is unstable and slippery in places.

Not the biggest waterfall. However you can go behind the waterfall into a cave. Kids really enjoyed themselves. I would Park at the Federal falls camp grounds and walk from there. Is a tough walk from top of mount Canobolas

Clear well made beautiful bush trail loop. Lower track follows Creek above falls and the upper is via the ridge line to camp ground. This pic was after some rain, if dry weather I suspect the cascade would be much smaller. Joe ACT

start this hike at 8am...do not do it above 25 degrees and take cold water...its around 2k very steep and slippery track...good workout on return and only suitable for those in good hiking fitness

Awesome look at the history of orange,

Beautiful heritage buildings and homes
