Bicentennial Conservatory

Discover a lush collection of fully sized temperate rainforest trees inside this unique conservatory, located inside the popular Adelaide Botanic Garden. This internationally acclaimed building is the largest single span glasshouse in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the largest in the world. Pathways meander through a green world of lowland rainforest plants from northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the nearby Pacific Islands, many of which are at risk or endangered in their natural habitats. Take a stroll alongside the forest floor or walk through the treetops and palm fronds along the upper walkway. Stop a while to look at the tranquil central pond. All walkways have full wheelchair access. Designed by South Australian architect, Guy Maron, its glistening and distinctive shape is a landmark for visitors to Adelaide. A series of exciting exhibitions and events are frequently held in the conservatory. Visit the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium website to see what's on, and find ticketing information. The conservatory is free to enter outside of exhibition periods.
