The iconic Wanneroo Botanic Gardens has been a must visit in Perth’s northern suburbs since 1981.

Enjoy a meal at the onsite restaurant Leapfrogs or experience the Gardens as you play 36 holes of Mini Golf. A kaleidoscope of colours, sights and sounds that will overwhelm your senses. Walk amongst the dappled shade of tall trees as you explore the flower displays, rockeries and waterfalls.

The 18-hole Garden course and the 18-hole Billiard Golf course combine to create Australia’s largest outdoor Mini Golf complex. Terrific fun for the whole family!

Wanneroo Botanic Gardens is a privately owned venue. To ensure the gardens are protected and Guests are safe, no pets are permitted. Please speak to our team if you have a licensed assistance dog.

 

The gardens are home to fish, frogs, birds, lizards, and chickens, making it unsuitable for dogs or cats. Guests dining at Leapfrogs may sit in the alfresco area at the front of the venue with their pet while enjoying a meal or light refreshment, subject to Leapfrogs’ discretion as it is a separate business.

Each player must carry their own club and ball, so each player must pay admission. If you do not wish to play, a spectator/sightseeing admission is available. Note that children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

We cannot predict or guarantee how busy the venue will be. Typically, the venue is less crowded during rain or extreme heat. It can be busy during school holidays and weekends from 11am-2pm, and during our Magic of Christmas event from 7pm-8pm.

Thank you for booking in advance. By doing so, you ensure access to our facility. While we may reach capacity occasionally, we always keep clubs and balls aside for our priority Guests. Unlike a golf course, there are no tee-off times; Guests play as they arrive in line with advertised session times.

Without any wait times, 18 holes may take 45-60 minutes. Wait times depend on the skill level of players ahead of you and the time of your visit. On a busy day, it can be up to a 10-minute wait per hole.

Your entry today includes access to both the Billiard Golf course and the 18-hole Garden course. You are welcome to play both courses during your visit but cannot return to play on another day.

Reserved parking is available near the admissions kiosk for Guests who display a Disability Parking Permit. Spaces are clearly marked with the International Disabilities Symbol.

Our Garden Golf course is accessible to Guests in wheelchairs. However, please note that the style of the track is based on the European design from 1981. A round rail runs around each track, which can make access and movement on the track challenging for wheelchairs, especially when putting.

The Billiard Golf course is not accessible to Guests in wheelchairs due to its levels and steps.

Guests with a Companion Card are entitled to 1 complimentary admission for their companion. Guests who produce a Carer’s Card (or similar) will be entitled to a discounted admission. Guests with any special needs should visit admissions kiosk on arrival and our friendly Team will provide assistance planning their day.

Short answer: The ball. Glow Golf is the same game, with the same club, and the same course as Mini Golf, but played with a super-cool, light-up, LED golf ball. The gardens are awesome to explore at night, and there are a number of wonderful light features to check out year-round. As soon as the sun goes down, Glow Golf is very much encouraged. Guests are welcome to play Mini Golf (with a traditional golf ball) or Glow Golf (with a light-up golf ball) at any time during opening hours. For even more Glow Golf fun, pick up a GLOW show bag before you play.

We do not offer refunds. We understand that on occasions the mini golf course can be busy, and in the event the wait times are extreme, we may offer Guests an opportunity to return on an alternate date. Covid, flat tires, rain, and other unforeseen issues can affect plans. If you need to update your booking details, please use the online store.

Yes, shoes are required at all times in Wanneroo Botanic Gardens to ensure the safety and comfort of all Guests.
