- Yvonne5603Melbourne, Australia72 contributionsLoved the markets at the beach. Plenty of food to choose from. Not as many non food stalls as I expected but maybe there is more on Thursday. Great atmosphere sitting on the dunes watching the sun go down.Written 10 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Miles ArcherBoca Raton, FL7,540 contributionsA pleasant place to stroll around and people watch, as my wife and I did. Good exercise

This was a better option than being dropped back at our hotel. We enjoyed a light lunch in the cafe before exploring the gardens. The visitors centre is worth visiting to learn more about the gardens including the cyclones and personalities who shaped its development. Overall, the gardens are well maintained and it’s easy walking, but can be hot. Worth visiting.Written 4 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Phillip FieldLake Macquarie, Australia212 contributionsAustralians were deceived by Government about the extent of war time activity in Darwin. The bombing was ferocious. The video experience here and the small museum are well worth the visit. We took an Uber out here rather than waste a day waiting for a bus. It was very cheapWritten 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SandySydneyAusAustralia656 contributionsIf you are in Darwin on market day you have to go. Variety of foods. Especially Asian foods. Special fruit juices. Nice to walk around the crowd. We tried all Thai salads and curries. Fruit juices. Sit on the grass anywhere. Bring a rug if you can. Go early and walk back along the beach at sunset time.Written 8 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The croc feeding was informative and the jumping crocodile cruise well worth the extra cost.Written 27 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
