Very well set out gardens.with lots of picnic spots and BBQ, plus a small take away shop at the front. We worth the walk around with all the different areas set out like a native area, desert area, rain forest etc. Set out at least a 1/2 day to see it all. Jenny Divers

Well maintained gardens that's free entry and parking. There's different areas, eg kids playground, rainforest, zoo, cafe etc. There's a model railway but check times as it wasn't operating when i went during the weekday.

In OK condition. It was disappointing that most plants were not labelled with their names and some gardens were full of weeds. However, there are many wonderful plants there, a zoo,, playgrounds and picnic facilities and a wonderful mini train to ride on on 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. A great place for families.

Beautiful gardens to sit and enjoy the sun . We didn't see any animals . I think it's too cold for them. At 8 degrees at 1130 am. My whinge for these gardens are. The toilet lights didn't work. If I had a child go in there, it would scare them it was pitch black ⚫️ in the toilets. Luckily, I had my phone for lighting. Big slip up wagga council. It's a safety issue. Great area for kids to play. A nice walk to stretch ypur legs.

Stunning Regional Arts centre and National Glass Space. The various Glass exhibitions were quality works by talented artists. I especially loved the Women exhibition upstairs for Year of the Woman. Hard to believe this contemporary set of buildings is now 40 years old. Thank you Helen for the personalised introduction. ❤️

A wonderful display of beautiful glass art pieces. The sleek bright building is the perfect setting. I loved the different techniques used and the variety in styles. Of the 800 art pieces in the collection, about 200 are displayed at a time. The exhibition changes every 3 months or so. I will definitely come back in Feb or March to visit again.

Great place to check out if you’re after some things to do in Wagga Wagga. Staff are nice and plenty of parking. I’m surprised the place has ev charging and it’s near a park with bbq facilities so good for picnics and family outings there. There’s a drink tap there and some decent footpaths.

Get all the info u need here for help around town. Easy carpark access. Caravans shoild be able to park along the street easily enough. Drinkable Water available here at taps either end of the building.(20m hose) or drums. Souvenier items at good prices too!!! Friendly helpful staff.
Craig O — Google review
Friendly staff. Water is available here however you cannot get a caravan into the parking area unless it is virtually empty. If you have a water bladder or tank in your car, you can fill it from the tap but you’ll need a hose at least 15m long and your own tap fitting. Jerry cans are ok.

Absolutely lovely centre, clean toilets, knowledgeable staff who took time giving me brochures and explaining the local area. Lovely local and Aboriginal made products to buy which would make amazing gifts. Very glad I stopped by!

Like the museum in the back of the chambers and had some old phones ,typewriters etc to view! Little interesting! Some help when we walked in but not much info offered
Donna P — Google review
With a cluster of other services surounding this cluster of buildings, Library, Glass Art gallery, Art centre and other business to this area, it was lacking signage to the Information front door, mainly due to its small exposure to the public. Once inside the front door it was which desk, left or right. The info attendent however, directed us on the Wagga Wagga tourist track and provided us with a bundle of brouchers and maps to help us with our Wagga Wagga stay.

Beautiful for kayaking. Check out Wagga Bidgee Canoe Club right next door. Great barbequing areas, fantastic play area for kids (and big kids!) but river can be very fast flowing and lots of snags, so stay close to the beach.
Kerrie M — Google review
Wagga Wagga is not a seaside town so I’m surprised when I heard there’s a beach. Located along the Murrumbidgee River, it is a sandy section which is really a beach😂👍. It’s nice to see a beach with a flowing river - a nice place for beach picnic (if only it’s not so cold in June).

Wagga Beach is a beautiful place to have a family picnic. There are onsite BBQs & kids play areas for all ages. Beautiful shadey trees & grass areas all around. Recommended
Goran P — Google review
Best river beach ever, lots of sand to play and sit on, (carries with river levels) plus beautiful lush green grass as a bonus... Has barbeques picnic tables, toilets and kiosk in season, great walking track alongside the river going both directions, Has an amazing kids playground, even this ol' chook (70) couldn't resist the flying fox, if the kids can't be entertained here for hours I'd be trading them in.. A must visit when you are in Wagga....

Nice spot for a walk, 1hr 20mins / 8700 steps to do a full lap. Well maintained public facilities, parks, toilets, bbqs and play equipment surrounding the lake.

It is a great location for activities, or just relaxing by the water. There are a lot of things to do around the lake; walking track, Apex park, fitness stations, golf, fishing, and more. The lake is shallow and the water murky, but you can still enjoy sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding and you will often see water skiers racing around.
Dom K — Google review
Great place for a walk or ride around the lake. Such a shame about the algae problem it has, hopefully that issue will be corrected I miss seeing all the water activity (boats, paddle boarding and canoeing etc)
Lisa N — Google review
We rode around the whole lake. Was a good afternoon with my children and dog. There is a decent playground for the kids to enjoy near the boat ramp and gym stations along the asphalt walking track (which isn't ideal to skate/scooter on). There is a fairy garden in amoungst the trees at the far end between playground and club. Worth a walk or bike ride. Note: lake is smelly due to blue green algae

I was there on Friday 10/06/2022, I liked it, but was a very very cold windy day. It rained twice coming off the hills to the North of the lake. Very good lake to land a small float plan on if you have the skills to fly as a pilot.

Nice small local museum. There are 2 sites to the museum, we saw both. They took about 2 hours to see each. Interesting facts on offer. A warm and interesting place to be on a cold winter day. Both museums were free entry. I am jealous that I do not have a museum in my local area.

A very interesting museum, featuring ww1 history and there also was a lot of farm machinery outside, even an old telephone booth. My husband and I really enjoyed this exhibition very much. Free admission.
