Nicely done. Peaceful spot. But at 10 and 13 my children were a little old to really appreciate it. Liked the funny additions waiting to be discovered.

Fascinating place. Hours of hard work has resulted in an amazing scale model village. Ride on trains go around the perimeter while model trains feature throughout the garden. Cafe and gift shop complete this experience. Well worth a visit

Love this place. A bit expensive for what it is but definitely worth a look. The detail of the buildings are amazing and the surrounding gardens are gorgeous.

Good place to go, although a little small, you can probably see it all in under an hour, unless you're like me and take a lot of pictures. The international section with miniature landmarks from across the world is very nice. It's a very clean place, very well maintained plants and display items, and they have a cafe and a small kids play area. Entry is a bit pricey, probably because they know it's not a place someone would visit often as I don't think much changes there in terms of what they have on display. The toilets are ok, clean, but not the nicest. There is also a miniature train ride for $3 per person that takes you around the whole place twice. Lots of nice colourful flowers too.

Excellent scale models but the overall effect was spoilt by having scale models of modern sports cars, motor cycles and even Batman in one sponsored exhibit. Good cafe with friendly staff. Miniature railway is fun. Easy access by car from Canberra city centre with plenty of parking.

A bit pricey for what's there but the kids loved it. Worth visiting if you're in Canberra

This place is brilliant. Great for the whole family. Young kids would love it. The gardens are beautiful. Nice food at the cafe. A great day out.

Amazing! The detail of every model makes it appear as though you've actually visited the locations. Everything is labelled and it's even educational. There's some bit of humor in some of the models like a pet stegasaurus being walked down a street! My 4 year old loved it and just wanted to go around more.

A nice place for little kids. Not so much for adults.
For the price they charge they could have kept the grounds better

Clever models tied with mini gardens and ongoing projects meaning new exhibits in the future. Great day out for adult children.

A delightfully cute place to visit. Was pleasantly surprised as I thought it would be dull. The displays are cute, with hidden gems to keep both the adults and children entertained. Had a great time!

Miniature buildings around the world. Kids love this place. Gets a min tour around the world. recommended for one time visit as the entry is bit expensive.

We had a lovely afternoon at Cockington Green Gardens with our three young children, aged 5 years, 2 years and 6 months.

There's the displays (including some moving parts that are operated by patrons using green and red buttons, which make the displays less static), a mini-train that takes you for two loops of the gardens, and a play area where both parents and kids can relax.

It was great to appreciate the amount of work that has gone into each of the displays, both the miniature objects (some of which include aspects that bring a smile to one's face, such as a person walking a pet Stegosaurus) and the manicured gardens. (There were some lawns that were so well maintained that I was looking for the hole to putt my ball into!)

The international section was very interesting, as various countries have contributed towards particular miniature versions of iconic monuments from their country, with plaques that explain them. I learnt some interesting things from those plaques.

All in all, a very good experience for the whole family.
