Floriade is just a 15-minute stroll from the City Centre. Before or after your flower fix, there is so much more to explore. Spot the giant Glorious Wally sculpture, take a ride on the merry-go-round, or dive into creative workshops at the Canberra Museum and Gallery. Catch a live performance at the Canberra Theatre and then wrap up your day with drinks and dinner at one of the city’s many restaurants and bars.
Make your Floriade outing a full city adventure with blooms, art, entertainment and good food all within walking distance.
