Access to the gardens is via Macleay Street near the corner of Lord Baden Powell Drive.

[1] As well as many different types of garden, the Botanic Gardens are home to a music bowl, a small zoo with a walk-through aviary, and Willans Hill Miniature Railway.

[3] The camellia garden was established as a bicentennial project in 1988, along with several other northernly situated themed garden projects including the Cacti and Succulent Garden, an Elizabethan themed garden funded by the Shakespearian Society of Wagga Wagga and the Tree Chapel, a fully functional outdoor church that is a popular venue for weddings.

Located in the camelia garden is a magnificently decorated traditional Chinese pavilion, a bicentennial gift from Kunming, China, one of Wagga Wagga's sister cities.
