About this place
What to expect
Relax and unwind at The Calyx, where you can sip a coffee or enjoy al fresco dining before stepping into a vibrant, sensory exhibition filled with spectacular plants. Exhibition entry is by donation. The moment you walk in you'll feel wrapped in nature, as if transported deep into the forest. Inside, more than 18,000 plants are on display, including one of the southern hemisphere's largest living green walls. The Calyx is a public exhibition space, but it's also available for private hire, so it may occasionally close for events. Check the Botanic Gardens of Sydney website for closure dates.
