Blown away! Cockington Green Gardens: Unlock a miniature version of Earth.

🌟Highlights: Located approximately 15 km from Canberra's city center, Cockington Green Gardens has been family-run by Doug and Brenda for over 40 years and has won numerous provincial and national tourism awards. The gardens showcase a miniature version of a Yorkshire village in England at a 1:12 scale, featuring Gothic architecture, churches, English pubs, Stonehenge, and scenes of villagers attending church, playing cricket, and herding sheep. In addition, there's an international miniature exhibition with iconic buildings from over 30 countries. ❤Recommended Reasons: From the carvings and decorations on the building exteriors to the interior furnishings, every detail is meticulously crafted. The lawns and windows of the Parliament House, as well as the clothing and actions of the miniature figures, are incredibly lifelike. Many miniature landscapes have electric switches that, when activated, set trains in motion, turn windmills, and play background sounds, enhancing the immersive experience. The gardens surrounding the miniature landscapes boast nearly 30,000 varieties of precious flowers and plants, personally cultivated by the owners, with a vibrant display of colors changing with the seasons. ✅Family-friendly: Children can learn about architecture and cultures from around the world, sparking their curiosity and imagination. The miniature steam train and other facilities are also very popular with children. ✅Unique Photo Opportunities: Visitors feel like they're in a land of giants, capturing creative and fun photos that create lasting memories. 👍A Great Place to Relax: Stroll through the gardens, admire the exquisite miniature landscapes and beautiful flowers, and take a ride on the miniature steam train to forget your worries and enjoy some leisure time. 📍Address: 11 Gold Creek Road, Nicholls ACT 2913, Australia 🚉Transportation: By car: It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Canberra city center along the Federal Highway. Public transport: Take the light rail or bus to Gold Creek Station and walk to Cockington Green Gardens. 🕙Opening Hours: Usually 10am–5pm, but specific opening hours may vary depending on the season or special circumstances. 💰Average Cost: AUD 107 for adults, AUD 73 for seniors over 60, and AUD 64 for children aged 4–16. The miniature steam train ride requires an additional fee. 📝Tips: Plan your time in advance and try to avoid peak tourist seasons for a better viewing experience. Remind children not to touch the miniature landscapes to avoid damage. You can bring your own food and drinks to enjoy in the picnic area, but please keep the environment clean. Pay attention to weather changes and choose appropriate clothing and shoes for a comfortable visit.
