Cockington Green Gardens
A detailed miniature village with models of English countryside and buildings from dozens of countries, set among gardens. Good for families.
Cockington Green Gardens opened in 1979. It first displayed a miniature village themed on the English countryside, and later added an international section with scale models of representative buildings from dozens of countries. These are set in neatly trimmed gardens, and there is a miniature train you can ride. Adult admission is about AUD 25, and it is open roughly 9:30 to 17:00. It is in Gold Creek Village in the north of the city. There are other small attractions and cafés nearby. It is about a 15-minute drive from the city centre.
