If an aid would help, the Gardens say visitors can book a wheelchair or electric mobility scooter without charge, subject to availability. Contact the Visitor Centre ahead of time to confirm what suits your needs.

How can I visit the Botanic Gardens if I cannot walk far?
I will stay in central Canberra and want to visit the Australian National Botanic Gardens, but an injury makes a long walk from a bus stop difficult. What is a practical way to arrive?

Plan the journey back before entering, especially if you need a specific pickup point. The Gardens list accessible parking and a step-free Main Path Walk, so you can choose a short route once inside.

The Gardens' current visitor directions say the nearest regular bus stop is about 1.3 kilometres from the entrance. If that is too far, a taxi or rideshare to the main entrance is a sensible option for this short trip.
