Other areas in the Botanic Gardens are the Rainforest, Fragrant Herb and Plant Garden, the Bonsai, Cactus and Fern Houses, Lagoon and Bamboo Grove and the Australian Plant Community which takes up 27 hectares just by itself. There is also a Planetarium and Herbarium.
The Bamboo Grove existed on its own before the gardens were developed. There is a lagoon which is home to a variety of native wildlife from birds, lizards to turtles and eels.

Brisbane Botanical Gardens. Absolutely gorgeous gardens, and the place where you'll find couples lying on the grass just having a 'romantic' moment.
The gardens are open 7 days a week, and can be found at Gardens Point, Alice Street in the City.
