Araluen Botanic Park is best known for its tulips which cover the park in carpets of colours during Spring, but the park has much more to offer. With a deep and interesting history, this local gem is an all-year destination.
The hybrid design of the park combines natural bushland with landscaped beds, bridges and buttresses nestled deep within the Brookton valley, a scenic 30-minute drive southeast of Perth.
Explore the park's many trails, which follow winding brooks and lead to showcases of speciality blooms such as heritage climbing roses and some of Western Australia's rarest camellias. Araluen Botanic Park plays host to regular events, such as outdoor concerts and performances and is also a popular wedding venue choice. Whether you grab a bite to eat at on-site eateries, the Roundhouse or Chalet Healy or take your own picnic, there is always something to enjoy at Araluen Botanic Park.
The It's Yates Springtime Tulip Festival takes place annually for approximately six weeks during August and September.
